He was once a 30-pound ski-jumping talent before he ended up among heavy football calibers. First at the ÖFB, later in Germany, where he was with Franz Beckenbauer was one of the officials who laid the organizational foundation for the summer fairytale (the 2006 World Cup). In keeping with the memories of Beckenbauer, Heinz Palme his book “The Emperor’s General.”
Palme was ÖFB media chief under Ernst Happel acts, dealing with the powerful FIFA boss Sepp Blatter and served as a legionnaire in the run-up to the World Championships in South Africa and Qatar.
At the open-air book presentation on the Hohe Warte, author Palme was able to Irene Fuhrmann and Ralf Rangnick the team bosses. Happel’s granddaughter Christinathe team boss’s widow Jolanda Riedl or Hartberg President Brigitte Annerl enthusiastically followed the “poetry reading”.
Since, for the visionary Palme, it is only a matter of time before a woman takes over the office of ÖFB president for the first time, the question to Annerl was whether she could imagine taking on this task. The power woman replied diplomatically: “We have Klaus Mitterdorfer a good president.”
Toni Upholstery When asked what he wanted from Rangnick at the European Championships, he answered unashamedly immodestly: “That he comes home with the trophy.” To which Rangnick, alluding to the absences and question marks, said that a small miracle would be needed. For example, opening opponents France could afford to Michael Olise not even to be considered for the European Championship, “although he has shaken up the Premier League recently”.
Olise is a striker for Crystal Palace. Directed by Oliver Glasner, whom Rangnick called “one of the best and at the same time most underestimated coaches”. Rangnick then said goodbye because of the Europa League final, while Polster and 130 Palme guests enjoyed a meatless meal.
Palme: “I’ve been vegan for 10 years.” That’s probably why he still has a ski jumper’s figure at 65.
