Mitja Mörec: New coach of Blau-Weiß Linz with great potential!

Linz, Österreich - FC Blau-Weiß Linz has a new man on the sidelines: Mitja Mörec was presented as a coach and takes over the fate of the club until the 2026/27 season. The 42-year-old, who most recently worked at the Floridsdorfer AC, was officially presented on Saturday, and those responsible for the association are satisfied with their choice. Managing Director Christoph Peschek described Mörec as the "clear number one" among the candidates. The selection process included intensive hearings and data analyzes, whereby great importance was placed on the technical expertise and the value keeping of the trainer.

Mörec, who started at the FAC in 2021 and coached 137 games there, can look back on an impressive point cut of 1.67, which secured the status of the club's record trainer. His greatest success was the runner -up title in Admiral 2nd league in the 2021/22 season. Under his leadership, the FAC scored sixth, five and nine in the subsequent seasons. This balance gives the blue and white reason to hope for a positive development.

Mörec’s ambitions for blue-white Linz

"I see great potential in the club", Mörec was optimistic about his new task. His goal is clear: preserve the identity of the association and play active football while the players are being further developed. Sports director Christoph Schösswender emphasizes the human and sporty qualities of Mörec, which are of central importance for the future orientation of the association.

After the departure of Gerald Scheiblehner, who switched to the Grasshoppers Zurich, it was time for fresh impulses. Under Scheiblehner, Blau-Weiß Linz took sixth place last season, which is the best final result in the history of the club. Linz was also able to score against some top teams in the current season of the Admiral Bundesliga, which arouses hopes for a successful season.

The challenges of the new season

But there are also challenges: Although the Linzer most recently celebrated three victories in a row, they remained against the bottom light SC Austria Lustenau without winning and scoring. This must change until the decisive game on the 31st matchday, when the Linzer meet Austria Lustenau, if you want to demonstrate your ambitions for placements in the upper third of the table.

Hope for a good season is also clouded by worries about injury. Players like João Luiz Alves Soares, Fabian Windhager and Tobias Koch fail while captain Fabio Strauss is loved. The new trainer Mörec will do everything possible to put the team well and get the crucial points.

In any case, it remains to be seen whether MÖREC can tear around the rudder and lead blue and white Linz into a successful future. For the loyal fans of the club, it is time to look into the upcoming games with confidence.
