The WAC is delighted! For the first time in the club's history, they have a player at a European Championship. Meanwhile, the question of a coach for the Wolfsberg amateurs has been resolved. Austria Klagenfurt finalize loan transfer - and the cooperation with ASK becomes more concrete.Regional league side Treibach bring in a bomber.

The WAC has never had a European Championship participant in its ranks. Sandro Altunashvili erased this fact in Germany - the midfielder came on in the 89th minute of his Georgia's 3:1 defeat against Turkey. And his risky dribbling, when Georgia had thrown everything forward, was the cause of the 3-1 final score.

Rnic stays
Coach Nemanja Rnic remains at WAC Amateuren despite relegation to the Carinthian League - as does "co" Chris Dobnik.

Mainz extended contract
Austria Klagenfurt? As already reported by the "Krone", the loan transfer of Ben Bobzien was finalized. The all-purpose German striker was on loan from Mainz to Lustenau. The 21-year-old's contract with the German Bundesliga club has now been extended, meaning that the way is now clear for Austria to bring him to Wörthersee on loan.

To the 3rd division
Klagenfurt's former player Rico Benatelli (his contract was not extended) is moving to Waldhof Mannheim in the German 3rd division.

Cooperation with ASK
As reported, Rolf Landerl takes over as coach of the violet amateurs, replacing Nenad Pavicevic. The final details of the cooperation with ASK are currently being clarified - if everything fits, the KFV must approve it. "Austrias youngsters need a regional league club as a platform," said ASK sporting director Mothe Dollinger, whose bomber Anej Kmetic (14 goals!) is moving to Treibach. "We didn't keep up with that," sighs Dollinger.
