Club officials emphasized that Jungwirth’s appointment signals a new direction after Dotchev’s departure. The transition aims to provide continuity while injecting fresh ideas.

Looking ahead, Jungwirth will have the preseason to implement his tactics and assess the squad. Success will be measured by progress toward a 3. Liga promotion.
