In Austria, there hasn’t been much talk lately about Gernot Messner having to worry about his job at the local top-flight club Grazer AK. However, there could still be a change on the bench in Graz. Especially if Gernot Messner loses the city derby against Sturm on Saturday. If he indeed has to part ways with the club, he could be replaced by a coach from Slovenia! As reported by Ekipa, the candidate for GAK, should they dismiss the mentioned 44-year-old domestic coach, is none other than Ante Šimundža!
53-year-old Ante Šimundža has already managed the Graz club, back in 2012, but his adventure in Austria didn’t last long. Shortly after his arrival, GAK went bankrupt, and the former Slovenian international was left without a job.
Twelve years later, he could potentially return, but the question is whether the coach, who had to leave the bench of Maribor a few days ago, would even be interested in managing a club that is currently struggling very badly this season. Tio Cipot, who plays for GAK as a loaned player from Spezia, and his teammates are currently at the very bottom of the Austrian Bundesliga standings, having not won a single match in nine games!
It is worth noting that there are no longer obstacles for the Slovenian coach to move across the northern border, as Ante Šimundža has now officially terminated the contract he had signed with Maribor after several days of status quo and even “involvement” from the SPINS union.
