FK Austria Wien extends CFO Harald Zagiczek's contract

The supervisory board of FK Austria Wien AG has voted to extend the contract of Chief Financial Officer Harald Zagiczek by two years, until 2028. Club President Kurt Gollowitzer expressed full confidence in Zagiczek, noting his role in stabilizing the club's finances under difficult conditions.

However, the decision has intensified a power struggle within the club. The investor group, Viola Investment GmbH (which holds 49.9 percent of the shares), voted against the extension. Investors have reportedly commissioned a legal opinion claiming that the move constitutes a new appointment rather than a simple extension. If this is the case, the investors may claim a right of veto under their syndicate agreement, potentially leading to legal action.
