The start of the new year brought more work than expected for the new Stripfing sports director Alexander Grünwald. On Tuesday, Bundesliga club Austria Vienna presented the previous SVS coach Christian Wegleitner as their new assistant coach. This was announced over the Christmas holidays, but overall Wegleitner’s promotion was not apparent at this point in time, said Grünwald.
So the 34-year-old, former Austria captain was immediately faced with the task of finding a new coach. On Friday morning he was able to put a green tick under the search, Stripfing presented his new man. As with Wegleitner, it is also a promotion for him; the choice fell on Maximilian Uhlig, who had coached the Young Violets, Austria’s second team, in the Regionalliga East since the summer. Grünwald explains why: “Christian’s departure came as a surprise. We then thought about it and said we could well imagine it with Max. I think that’s the best solution because, despite his young age, he already has a lot of experience and already knows all the players because he coached many of them in his youth.”
Sattler will remain on the coaching team
Before his involvement with the Young Violets, 30-year-old Uhlig worked for the Violets’ U16 and U18 teams, and the Admira Jugend is also on the Viennese’s business card. By the way, he will be bringing his previous assistant coach Florian Hart with him to SV Stripfing; the 33-year-old has a Bundesliga past as a player with Mattersburg, Ried, Grödig and LASK. His coaching career began with the U15 of ESV Haidbrunn Wacker Wiener Neustadt before he moved to Admira and later to Austria. Hart was allowed to wear the jersey of the Austrian youth national teams 26 times.
The previous Stripfing assistant coach Florian Sattler will remain on the coaching team and continue to hold his position. The starting signal for preparation takes place on Monday, the first test takes place on Friday – against Uhlig’s previous team, the Young Violets.

Maximilian Uhlig, new head coach of SV Stripfing: “After 8 years at Austria Vienna, in which I went through all levels as a coach from the youth to the 2nd team, I am now looking forward to my new job at SV Stripfing. The club has developed continuously in recent years and with Erich Kirisits a man at the helm who is driving this development forward in a very professional manner. Together with my coaching team, I am looking forward to further developing a team made up of experienced, established 2nd league players and young talents.”
Florian Hart, new assistant coach of SV Stripfing: “I’m looking forward to the new task, the team and of course also to the 2nd league. SV Stripfing is a very ambitious club, I would like to do my part for a successful future. The winter break is over, I can’t wait to finally get on the training pitch.”
Alexander Grünwald, sports director of SV Stripfing: “In my conversations with Max, I immediately noticed how passionate he was about this new task. With him we were able to win one of the most sought-after coaches of the young coaching generation for SV Stripfing. Maximilian knows many of our young players and has already trained some of them at the Austria Academy. In addition to being a very committed coach, Florian Hart also brings a lot of experience as an active player, this mix is perfect for us. I am also particularly pleased that Florian Sattler is still part of the coaching team; he has known the team and the club for a long time. I am pleased that this coaching team wants to follow this path with us and am convinced that we will be successful together.”
