Squad31 Aug 2026

The knee: Maximilian Arnautovic out for 19 days

19 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Mattersburg lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match26 Aug 2026

Mattersburg through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over Admira Wacker, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Florian Kalajdzic scores twice — 8.16

Two goals and a mark of 8.16 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market31 Aug 2026

Grasshopper come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Mattersburg did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

No sign of nerves from Otto Stange at 19 — 8.17

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Otto Stange did not need any: 8.17, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Thomas Hinteregger puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Mattersburg, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market31 Aug 2026

Abdoulaye Kanté is a Mattersburg player

The fee is $1.1M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Austria Wien drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

A goal and an assist for Jakob Novak — 7.98

Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.98 beside his name.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Mattersburg

Marco Weimann and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Florian Junuzovic could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.62

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.62, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Market3 Aug 2026

Wolfsberger AC come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Mattersburg did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market3 Aug 2026

Marko Sabitzer raises the bar for Mattersburg

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Mattersburg heard it as anything else.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Mattersburg

Marko Sabitzer 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Gernot Baumgartner signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Gernot Baumgartner and Mattersburg agree another 2 years.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Florian Kalajdzic runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Florian Junuzovic

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad3 Aug 2026

No place for Husein Balić in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Mattersburg are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for Christian Zawieschitzky is in the works

Mattersburg have made the call to Red Bull Salzburg. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
