The
Coach
Austrian national coach HERBERT
PROHASKA, a former international forward was capped 83 times for Austria.
He played in the 1978 and 1982 World Cups and has been in his current job
since 1993. In his active career, Prohaska played for first division
side Austria Vienna, helping them reach the 1978 European Cup Winners'
Cup finals, and Italian clubs Inter Milan and AS Roma before retiring in
1989. He went on to coach Austria Vienna for two years. He
kept his job as national coach despite being heavily criticised when Austria
failed to make the final of the 1994 World Cup and 1996 European championships.
