Before the second leg against Braga, the supervisory board will meet on Thursday Austria. It’s about the future of CFO Harald Zagiczekwhose contract expires at the end of September.
The fronts have hardened and there is a threat – once again – of a mud fight. Zagiczek, who has been in office for three years, has the Support from the clubbut also opponents. Austria wants him as CFO for another two years, the investor group WTF, on the other hand, wants to get rid of him. However, she can only veto a new appointment or if there are technical deficiencies. The latter probably wouldn’t pass – so WTF has a Appraise created and sent to selected journalists. It says that if the worst comes to the worst, it will be a new appointment and not an extension. What Austria sees differently.
If everything goes normally, the vote will be 5:4 for Austria and therefore for Zagiczek. What will happen then is unclear. A lawsuit from the WTF is then considered likely and the mudslinging can begin.
