"Doubles winner, doubles winner!" This is how it echoed from thousands of throats throughout Graz on May 19! Water under the bridge. Stefan Hierländer and his men have already set themselves new goals with Sturm after winning the double. The captain enjoyed the "hammock of success" for a long time and is now looking forward to a royal home game in Klagenfurt. 

Double winner - a magical word in soccer! Hardly any club in this country manages it. With the exception of Salzburg, where the double already had an inflationary aftertaste. Until Sturm snatched both titles from the Croesus this year. "It took some time to realize what we had achieved," says Stefan Hierländer. "On the first day of my vacation after the celebrations, many memories of my last eight years at Sturm came flooding back," says the captain, who was recently given a nice sentence by Christian Ilzer: "As long as I'm coach here, 'Hierli' will be my captain! He is extremely important on and off the pitch."
