Sturm club icon Jakob Jantscher spoke in the latest episode of DAB | The audio evidence commented on a possible return to SK Sturm.
The 34-year-old made it clear that he would probably no longer return to Graz in an active role as a player. “I believe that my active career abroad will come to an end. You can never predict something like that, but I think that after this season I will spend a maximum of two years abroad and then I'll be done," said Jantscher.
Nevertheless, the attacker can well imagine working in a different role for the Graz team after his active career ends. “There were already discussions with Andreas Schicker back then and there were topics in which I saw myself. Basically, for example, the scouting area, where I could get involved well because I know what profile the club is looking for. “I would be interested in that,” Jantscher explained.
“I’m a guy who wants to get the most out of it”
Jantscher left it open whether he would end his career in Hong Kong with his current club Kitchee SC or try another adventure.
“I have a contract until May 2024. There is an option to extend the contract and that is largely up to me. Things have gone well for me in terms of sport and in Asia, at 34, you are not yet an old player. So there might also be the possibility of going further and seeing something different in Asia. I'm a guy who wants to get the most out of it. That affects the sport and of course also the financial aspect,” said Jantscher, who has so far contributed eight goals and four assists in 16 games for his new club.
