Break ordered
The long-serving Zellhofer, who has guided the club from the amateur ranks of the Landesliga to the top division since taking charge in 1996, was forced to hand control of team affairs to caretaker coach Heinz Hochhauser in July after being ordered to take a break from football.
'Fully motivated'
"There could not have been a better caretaker than Heinz Hochhauser, but now I am fine again and fully motivated," Zellhofer said. Pasching currently lie in fifth position in the ten-club Bundesliga, ten points behind front-runners FK Austria Wien.
Youth role
Hochhauser, who will lead the team for the last time against SW Bregenz on Saturday, will remain with Pasching and could take charge of the club's planned new youth academy.
