Squad18 Sep 2028

The knee: Kevin Baumgartner out for 26 days

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

Market18 Sep 2028

Ousmane Diawara asks to leave Austria Klagenfurt

“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.

Squad18 Sep 2028

17 days out for Julian Laimer after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Austria Klagenfurt will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market18 Sep 2028

Bernd Gschweidl is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Austria Klagenfurt is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The dugout18 Sep 2028

Adnan Kanurić: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Austria Klagenfurt have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad18 Sep 2028

Nejc Cerin 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 Austria Klagenfurt this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings18 Sep 2028

Ousmane Diawara runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad18 Sep 2028

Austria Klagenfurt count the cost of losing Markus Lainer

46 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout18 Sep 2028

No hiding place for Jakob Kuntze

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

Market26 Jul 2027

Marc Andre Schmerböck asks to leave Austria Klagenfurt

“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.

Market26 Jul 2027

St. Pölten come back empty-handed

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

Boardroom26 Jul 2027

A new deal for Thomas Laimer

The board have signed the man in the dugout to a longer contract, which says more than any statement of support. Stability is easy to promise and costly to keep.

Boardroom26 Jul 2027

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Austria Klagenfurt

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.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Door shut on Mateo Maravić

Austria Klagenfurt asked and Cukaricki said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Words exchanged at Austria Klagenfurt

Florian Jaritz 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.

Market26 Jul 2027

Austria Klagenfurt promote Christoph Grillitsch from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Christoph Grillitsch 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

Markus Lainer steps up from the Austria Klagenfurt academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Markus Lainer 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.

Boardroom26 Jul 2027

Austria Klagenfurt board go back on their word

Something was promised, a deadline passed, and it did not arrive. Trust inside a football club is built over years and spent in an afternoon.
