Hartberg turn down Kapfenberg for Marco Hoffmann
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Tom Hülsmann’s move to Schalke 04 falls through
The deal that would have taken Tom Hülsmann to Schalke 04 has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Hartberg with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Harald Postl asks to leave Hartberg
“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.
Market24 Aug 2026
Youba Diarra moves on
Austria Wien pay $1.1M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Atlético Tucumán tell Hartberg: Ramiro Ruiz Rodríguez is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
Marco Hoffmann gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Konstantin Schopp 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 Hartberg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match22 Aug 2026
Honours even between Hartberg and Altach
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
Squad24 Aug 2026
The formation has left Raphael Posch behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Hartberg will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.
