Willi Denifl returns as COC team coach in Austria

Just weeks after his retirement, also Austrian veteran Willi Denfil has found a new professional challenge. Denifl will take over the coach role for the Continental Cup team together with Thomas Baumann. Baumann had the responsibility for the cross-country training of the national team as an Assistant Coach from 2012 until 2016. It is the first coach position for 38-year-old Denifl.

The coaching staff for the World Cup team will remain unchanged with Christoph Eugen at the helm, supported by cross-country coach Jochen Strobl and jumping coach Christoph Bieler.
