New coach Achim Samatreiter brings a breath of fresh air to St. Michael!

Tamsweg, Österreich - The USK Samson Druck St. Michael has made headlines in the past few weeks. A fresh wind blows through the sporting direction of the fighting team, because Achim Samatreiter, 42 years old and from Bad Gastein, takes over the coaching office. With the UEFA A license in his pocket, he has a lot of experience, including from his previous stations at FC Kaprun, SC Bad Hofgastein and in the LAZ Bischofshofen. In addition, Samareiter worked in the SV Ried scouting area for four years, which gave him valuable insights into the game business. "There is something," you can already see in the club, where the restless endeavor is noticeable.

seamenreiter will work closely with the existing coaching team, consisting of Gebhard Marktl (coach of the reserve) and Reinhard Schiefer (goalkeeper trainer). Together they would like to further develop the game idea and the mentality within the team. Trainer Samatreiter relies on a clear tactical orientation, the individual promotion of the players and, above all, that the fun of football is not neglected. The goal of the season is the place in the secured midfield of the 1st Landesliga, which seems realistic, since the team stands in twelve in the winter break and only hibernates six points behind the current third.

offspring and new faces

Another exciting transfer is also imminent. Johan Samatreiter, the son of the new coach, moves from FC Kaprun to St. Michael. In this way, the family tradition in football remains alive and offers additional dynamics in the team. The start of training is already on July 2, 2025, and the first test game will be held on July 4, 2025 against St. Peter am Kammersberg in the Lungau Arena. It will be exciting to see how the team is under the new trainer.

A crucial contribution to the further development of the USK Samson Druck St. Michael also comes from the swimmer partnership with the main sponsor, Samson Druck. The Lungau company recently committed itself to financially supporting the association for another five years. The management, Lisa Frost, emphasizes the importance of the long -term partnership that matches the values ​​of the association, especially in the area of ​​promoting young talent and sustainable production. "We are relying on a strong and sustainable community," says Frost. The main sponsor is decisive and contributes to the lion's share for the club budget.

The financial situation, especially in the area of ​​youth teams, is challenging, and only a large number of sponsors can the game be secured. Section manager Franz-Josef also emphasizes how important this support is to meet the wishes and expectations of the young players and to advance the club as a whole.

The team and the supporters are optimistic about the coming season. Even with the personnel changes, they are determined to achieve the goal set and continue the positive development. Football is more than just a game - it is part of the community in St. Michael.
