Austria go into World Cup play-off with Foda

Austria’s team boss Franco Foda will remain in office at least until the World Cup play-off coming March.

ÖFB President Gerhard Milletich announced in an ORF interview on Monday after the 4-1 win over Moldova that Franco Foda will also be on the sidelines for the World Cup play-off matches.

There has been speculation for some time whether the German will remain team manager of the Austrian national team after the completion of the World Cup qualifiers So far, Milletich has held back with a clear commitment. With the victories against Israel and Moldova in the last two qualifiers, Foda should have earned the president’s trust at least for the games of the World Cup play-off.

At the end of March, the World Cup play-off semifinals will be played away against a probably top-class opponent, which the Austrians will be drawn against in Zurich on 26 November.
