Match5 Dec 2026

14 matches without a win for Grazer AK

The run now stands at 14, and the questions being asked around Grazer AK are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom7 Dec 2026

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Grazer AK

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Player ratings7 Dec 2026

No sign of nerves from Leon Grgić at 20 — 7.75

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Leon Grgić did not need any: 7.75, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Tempers go at Grazer AK

Leon Grgić was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match5 Dec 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Grazer AK and Rapid Wien in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match5 Dec 2026

Rapid Wien take the points off Grazer AK

Beaten 2‑4, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Florian Prohart falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Looking ahead7 Dec 2026

Grazer AK face WSG Tirol in the game that matters most

Two sides from the bottom of the table, three points, and an afternoon that will be described afterwards as a relegation decider by whoever loses it.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Mark Grosse stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mark Grosse and Grazer AK agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

The numbers do not look good at Grazer AK

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Market7 Sep 2026

Jakob Meierhofer asks to leave Grazer AK

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Grazer AK close the window on a squad of their own making

21 in and 10 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Market7 Sep 2026

So close: Christoph Nicht’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Hertha Wels moved on, Christoph Nicht reports back to Grazer AK, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Luis Engelns falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Grazer AK rebuffed over Naby Keïta

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Ferencvaros have kept their man, and Grazer AK go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market7 Sep 2026

The Jacob Italiano conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: WSG Tirol will make the call about Jacob Italiano this week. Grazer AK have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Market7 Sep 2026

Grazer AK and Dominik Frieser are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Luis Engelns named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Luis Engelns is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Match29 Aug 2026

A hiding for Grazer AK

Beaten 0‑4 by Rapid Wien, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Market31 Aug 2026

Ludwig Vraa-Jensen says no to Austria Klagenfurt

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Ludwig Vraa-Jensen had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Dominik Frieser in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Grazer AK this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Grazer AK baulk at the price for Philipp Maybach

Austria Wien wanted more than $110.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Grazer AK rebuffed over Óscar Melendo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Shanghai Port have kept their man, and Grazer AK go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Florian Prohart falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Mark Grosse

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mark Grosse, and the manager let it.

Boardroom31 Aug 2026

Inquest at Grazer AK

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Leon Grgić is a square peg at Grazer AK

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

In brief

  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • Player ratings Nobody could get near Mathias Honsak
  • Transfer targets A loan move for Christian Makoun is in the works
