Bundesliga sensation

“Hinti” back! First game against former club?

With his transfer to Austria Klagenfurt, Martin Hinteregger created the perfect sensation. He could celebrate his comeback at the beginning of February in a home match against his former club Red Bull Salzburg. 

Hinteregger will be officially introduced to the Violets on Tuesday and will wear the number 13. He will be eligible to play from January 1. On February 8, Klagenfurt will start the spring season against Red Bull Salzburg. Perhaps with "Hinti" in the starting eleven? The 32-year-old won the league title five times with the "Bulls" and the ÖFB Cup four times.

"Austria Klagenfurt and the Wörthersee Stadium mean home to me and I can hardly wait to get back on the pitch. I will do everything I can to play my part in making sure we are successful as a team," said the 67-time ÖFB team player and 2022 Europa League winner with Eintracht. Hinteregger was a crowd favorite in Frankfurt due to his approachable nature.

Klagenfurt rejoices
Klagenfurt, currently ninth in the table, were certainly delighted with the coup.

"We were in regular contact and were open and honest with each other during this time. He has caught fire again, his motivation and ambition are back," said sporting director Günther Gorenzel. He is convinced that the native of Sankt Veit is "an asset to our club in every respect".
