Market25 Sep 2028

Philipp Grillitsch hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Hartberg can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom25 Sep 2028

Hartberg agree a free transfer for Mamadou Diarra

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Match24 Sep 2028

A bad afternoon for Hartberg against LASK

1‑2 to LASK, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad25 Sep 2028

Camilo Ordóñez wants to go home

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

The dugout25 Sep 2028

Heinz Grillitsch: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout25 Sep 2028

A promise honoured at Hartberg

Something was said to Ahmet Muhamedbegović and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout25 Sep 2028

Karim Onisiwo asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Looking ahead25 Sep 2028

Hartberg take on the side everybody is chasing

Grazer AK arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.

The dugout25 Sep 2028

Maximilian Fillafer gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Maximilian Fillafer is on it.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad26 Jul 2027

The knee: Maximilian Entrup out for 128 days

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

Market26 Jul 2027

Terms done: Harald Postl is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Altach waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Hartberg is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

The paperwork begins on Robert Ljubičić

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Hartberg have done the hard part with AEK, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Boardroom26 Jul 2027

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Hartberg

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Market26 Jul 2027

Philipp Grillitsch steps up from the Hartberg academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Philipp Grillitsch has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market26 Jul 2027

Hartberg promote David Schlager from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. David Schlager has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market26 Jul 2027

Hartberg promote Raphael Alaba from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Raphael Alaba has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Words exchanged at Hartberg

Habib Coulibaly 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.

Looking ahead26 Jul 2027

Karim Onisiwo goes back to face Red Bull Salzburg

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Karim Onisiwo’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Hartberg needing him to play as if none of it matters.
