Herbert Matschek, president of Bundesliga club Austria Klagenfurt, is dead. Matschek died on Tuesday at the age of just 56 after a serious illness at home surrounded by his family, the club announced on Wednesday.
The tax consultant had headed the club since November 2020 and led the Carinthians back into the Bundesliga in the summer of 2021.
"Deeply saddened"
"It's incredibly difficult to put our deep sorrow into the right words. In Herbert Matschek, we have lost a leading figure and a strong comrade-in-arms who was a great support to our club with his calm and level-headed manner, who did not seek the limelight but worked hard and consistently in the background for the success of his Austria," said managing director Peer Jaekel.
Austria Klagenfurt have requested that a minute's silence be held for the Bundesliga home game against TSV Hartberg on Saturday (17:00). Coach Peter Pacult's team will wear mourning flags.
