The sporting affairs at LASK will now be led by Dino Buric. The 34-year-old, who has already served as the sports coordinator for the Athletiker for the past three and a half years, takes over the role of Sporting Director with immediate effect.

Buric brings not only extensive expertise but has also gained a high level of experience despite his young age through nearly eight years of professional football. As a native of Mannheim, Buric has been significantly involved in the preparation and execution of transfers as well as contract negotiations during his role as Sports Coordinator at LASK since the beginning of 2022.

As Sporting Director, Buric will take on primary responsibility for the sporting area as well as the sporting planning and direction of the club. His duties will also include squad planning and the coordination of scouting processes. With his know-how and meticulous work ethic, the 34-year-old is expected to drive the sporting development of LASK decisively in the coming years.

During his active playing career, the son of former Bundesliga coach Damir Buric spent several years in the youth academy of SC Freiburg. At a young age, Buric, who holds a master’s degree in business administration and also successfully completed the sports management program at the Bundesliga Campus, transitioned to the management level and took on a leadership role in the academy of Admira Wacker in summer 2017. During his tenure, the U18 team won the ÖFB Youth League championship and participated in the UEFA Youth League. After four and a half years at Admira, where he was also involved in transfer management, he moved to LASK in January 2022. Now, after nearly eight years in professional football management, he is stepping up to Sporting Director.
