Market7 Jun 2027

Arjan Malić agrees terms with Austria Lustenau

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Sturm Graz people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Squad7 Jun 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Heinz Posch

17 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Sturm Graz lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

Sturm Graz make their move for Dirk Carlson

$2.2M on the table at St. Pölten. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

Sturm Graz bid $1.5M for Tomislav Glavan

The offer went to FAC Wien this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

Door shut on Dirk Carlson

Sturm Graz asked and St. Pölten said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Tempers go at Sturm Graz

Bernhard Luxbacher 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.

Squad7 Jun 2027

A step back for Axel Kayombo at Sturm Graz

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Market7 Jun 2027

Axel Kayombo is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Sturm Graz has been clear about where Axel Kayombo stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout7 Jun 2027

When it matters, Otar Kiteishvili plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Boardroom31 May 2027

Continental nights are coming to Sturm Graz

Qualification is secured, and next season the big floodlit nights are continental ones. For the players it is a stage; for the accounts it is a lifeline; for the supporters it is passports.

Squad31 May 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Heinz Posch

26 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Sturm Graz lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad31 May 2027

The season belongs to Otar Kiteishvili

An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Sturm Graz have had the benefit of it.

Squad31 May 2027

A falling-out at Sturm Graz

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

Squad31 May 2027

Paul Koller signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Paul Koller commits to Sturm Graz for another 4 years.

Loan watch31 May 2027

The goals keep arriving from Szymon Włodarczyk’s exile

10 goals in 28 games at Excelsior — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Sturm Graz updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

The dugout31 May 2027

The manager makes an example of Niklas Szerencsi

“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.

The dugout31 May 2027

When it matters, Gizo Mamageishvili plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout31 May 2027

Matteo Bignetti knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Matteo Bignetti trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad24 May 2027

Heinz Posch damages knee ligaments — 33 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 33 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match24 May 2027

Sturm Graz are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 39 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad24 May 2027

Words exchanged at Sturm Graz

Moses Usor 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.

Squad24 May 2027

Words at Sturm Graz training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Paul Koller is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout24 May 2027

No hiding place for Nosa Iyobosa Edokpolor

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

The dugout24 May 2027

The manager has not finished forgetting Daniil Khudyakov's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Loan watch24 May 2027

Arjan Malić counts the days

“I watch every Sturm Graz game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Radnicki 1923 runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout24 May 2027

When it matters, Rory Wilson plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout24 May 2027

Niklas Geyrhofer 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 Sturm Graz, and both men came out saying it was fine.
