Football Manager on October 21st, 1953, at Wembley edit

Mr. Nausch was not the manager, but that one, who was leading the trainings of the so-called team "rest of the world", playing at Wembley on October 21st, 1953, vs England (result 4-4). It isn't verified exactly, but the Team-manager would have been Mr. Karel Lotsy of the Netherlands, and there were to others (Mr. Calero of Spain and Mr. Gaston Barreau of France) who was involved in managing (see "Arbeiterzeitung Wien/Vienna" from October 20th, page 8). --213.225.1.227 (talk) 12:24, 29 November 2016 (UTC).Reply

Personal life edit

During the Second World War, Mr. Nausch lived in Switzerland. Before, he was team manager of Austria Vienna ("Austria Wien"). But very many players and officials (maybe all) of Austria Vienna were Jewish, therefore the Club had to finish, respectively there was given the new name "Sportklub Ostmark" (translation may be "Sportclub of Eastern March"). Nausch was very popular and venerable, therefore he was protected against the Nazi's reprisals, even he was showing his contemptuousness to National Socialism. He attended to manage the "Sportklub Ostmark", but he was only allowed to do by the nazi party if he had divorced from his Jewish wife. Therefore, in November 1938, he emigrated with his wife to Zurich. There were also other emigrated team-officials of Austria Vienna in Switzerland. - He piled in as team manager of Young Fellows Zurich. In 1948, he was retrieved by Mr. Josef Gerö, the president of Austrian Football Federation, in order to become the team manager of Austrian national team. --213.225.1.227 (talk) 12:51, 29 November 2016 (UTC).Reply
