"The 47-year-old enjoyed a successful playing career, which included 56 caps for his native Austria and an appearance in the 1998 World Cup. Alongside two stints with Sturm Graz, where he won the Austrian Bundesliga in 1999, and Hamburger SV, Schopp also lined up alongside Roberto Baggio and Pep Guardiola during a spell at Brescia Calcio. As a youngster, Markus, his 5 brothers and four cousins were all promising goalies but their family feared Austria would turn into a nation of Schopp keepers" (soz, coat already on)
Agree with what others are saying. Brill news we've got someone in so soon. Hope he can bring an exciting, winning style without a huge turnover of players. Downside, chuffing CEO-less by looks just as we're in a transfer window. And we're all more bothered on taking the piss out the new gaffer's name than what it means for the future of our club, cos we know he won't be a part of it for very long...
Welcome Markus, great to have you on board and looking forward to watching your side play this season.
