Glad to see his experience with the uber press legend Schmidt.

How many coaches and assistant coaches does that make? I tried to read the article but I have to complete a survey about robots before reading.

Are they all going to find a seat in the dugout on match days?

[Miltonaggro]

Is he an ex-goalkeeper? If not, unlikely to fit in...

 

Welcome Richie Kitz...

Think he is a proper one (midfielder) and an analyst as well :-)

[Lighthouse]

Doesn't turn up until 3 games into the season, like the rest of our 'kitz'.

[suewhistle]

No umlaut. Disappointing.

He has replaced Danny Rohl, so no more than there would have been. Whether Craig Fleming gets a seat is another matter, as he was promoted to first team during the summer.

[John D]

Hang on a minute. We were told by people on this forum that we weren't replacing Rohl as we wanted to save money.

excellent

[Saint Garrett]

Sounds promising, gives Ralph a bit of support. Welcome Richard, I hope you do a great job.

[Turkish]

Great! A new coach we can blame results on. The new Eric Black.

We've shipped out Forster for the season so the taps have been allowed to opened a little more!!

We need a genuine vitriol sponge...

Has he? He is an assistant Coach, not Assistant Manager.

Surely the hierarch is (1) Manager, (2) Asst Manager, (3) Coach, and (4) Asst Coach. Salaries will reflect that.

He does the video analysis, which I believe is what Rohl was credited for before he went.

Then I'm on board. It seemed to work for the Leeds fella, at least until he confessed to having people tree-climbing.

We don't have anyone with the title "coach" or "assistant manager". Like KD, DW and CF he will be a First Team Assistant Coach. The Coach they are assisting is Ralph. You may be right that because Rohl was Assistant manager RK is not a direct replacement, whether he is seen as senior to the 3 other assistant coaches remains to be seen, but it seems to be the inference from the announcement in the Echo "Saints have appointed Richard Kitzbichler as the new assistant to Ralph Hasenhuttl". Anyway, bottom line is that he has replaced Danny Rohl in terms of numbers, whether or not he has replaced his role, which was the point of your post (numbers of bums on seats in the dug out)

All I wanna know is does he celebrate like Ralph and like Rohl used to when he was here.

We need a celebration double act.

We need something to celebrate for that to happen...

It’s clearly vitally important that we know his precise job title. Also, is he in charge of red cones, or blue cones?

[Heisenberg]

Hopefully this kitz-starts our season

Sadly the club has never adequately replaced Dennis Rofe, a legend with the cone placement and subsequent readjustments necessary at a top club

Sammy the Saint is not a patch on Rofe's HT entertainment

This is spot on. Welcome Richard

[Dusic]

Got to be in the running for Best Assistant Manager since the restart?

[Austerikke]

Richard is great! I think and believe he does a fantastic job.

 

Did Kitzbichler and Hasenhüttl ever play together in the same team? No, actually not.

Ralph played for Austria Wien from 1989-1994, while Kitzbichler played for Austria from 2003-2005.

Both played also for Austria Salzburg (before they got "transformed" into Red Bull Salzburg, well Red Bull bought Austria Salzburgs licence in 2005), Ralph played for Austria Salzburg from 1994- 1996 (reached the UEFA-Cup final against AC Milan) and Richard from 1997-2002.

 

Both also played for the Austrian squad. Richard did so from 1996-2002, Ralph from 1988-1994. Of course, Ralph is a few years older than Richi.

 

 

EDIT:

 

I can't believe i have done that but i actually found a game on youtube in the Austrian league when Ralph and Richard met in a game. Richard played 90 mins, Ralph from minute 79..

Great goal from Artner from minute 5:49

Richi Kitzbichlers goal attempt from 6:47

Cheers for posting - nice having someone with a good knowledge of both.

Noticed his name in an article regarding a coaching qualification: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61162356

Can only be a positive.
