The dugout25 Mar 2030

Matěj Hadaš frozen out at Austria Salzburg

This is not rotation. Matěj Hadaš has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Austria Salzburg is pretending otherwise.

Squad25 Mar 2030

Words exchanged at Austria Salzburg

João Tomé and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad25 Mar 2030

Jakob Knollmüller 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.

Boardroom25 Mar 2030

The borrowing at Austria Salzburg reaches $30.1M

Past the limit the bank set, which is the line between a club being financed and a club being in trouble. $30.1M is now the number every conversation about this club will start with.

The dugout25 Mar 2030

The manager makes an example of Matthias Theiner

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad25 Mar 2030

Juan Felipe Aguirre wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Austria Salzburg can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

The dugout25 Mar 2030

Dani Fernández knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Austria Salzburg, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market25 Mar 2030

The Jakob Knollmüller story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Jakob Knollmüller signs something — a contract at Austria Salzburg or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market25 Mar 2030

Still no signature from Jakob Knollmüller

5 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Austria Salzburg could get for him.

Market18 Feb 2030

Sava Čestić has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Austria Salzburg they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings18 Feb 2030

Abdellah Zoubir, 38, rolls back the years — 8.29

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.29 at 38, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad18 Feb 2030

Tempers go at Austria Salzburg

João Tomé 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.

Squad18 Feb 2030

Alejandro Rojo arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Alejandro Rojo has, at Austria Salzburg, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad18 Feb 2030

Jakob Knollmüller 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 dugout18 Feb 2030

The manager makes an example of Felix Platte

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match16 Feb 2030

Austria Salzburg find a way past Amstetten

Amstetten made Austria Salzburg work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad18 Feb 2030

Austria Salzburg are still strangers to each other

8 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout18 Feb 2030

Heinz Sabitzer: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.
