The members of Team Hirscher will work in the 2019/2020 season for the Austrian federation, as President Peter Schroecksnadel had announced, at the time of the withdrawal of the eight-time winner of the World Cup. Michael Pircher, in particular, will have an important task since he will follow the boys who, from the European Cup, will be ready to land towards the maximum circuit; the newly white-right duo Toni Giger, who inherited the legacy of the outgoing Hans Pum, explained that â€œthe experience and know-how of the people who worked in Team Hirscher are fundamental above all for such young athletes. Also Ferdinand (the coach father who followed Marcel throughout his career) will have a contract within a couple of weeks ". Meanwhile, just in these hours he has expressed himself again on the withdrawal of the ruler of the white circus, of whom Hirscher has inherited, in Austria and in general in the panorama of the skiing world; just 10 years ago, it was October 13, 2009, Hermann Maier announced the farewell to competition and the champion of Flachau, winner of 4 absolute World Cups, said his during a Raiffeisen event, the sponsor who has been sharing with Hirscher himself for many years. "I had seen Marcel already tired during a boat trip - confessed Maier, referring to a meeting that took place after the conclusion of last season - I was surprised that Marcel failed to think only about the pleasure of skiing, even if it is not easy not to think about everything around you. He's still relatively young, so I wouldn't rule out a return. I think it will reflect over the winter, he could come back and take the record of Stenmark's individual victories. I believe it can be a great stimulus â€.
