Also in Szczecin

Alexander Gorgon in the sights of Altach

After Benedikt Zech, SCR Altach could now sign another player from Pogon Szczecin - ex-Austria Vienna attacker Alexander Gorgon is in the sights of the Rheindörfler. 

Alexander Gorgon has become the next object of desire for Altach. The former Austria Vienna player, who most recently played with Benedikt Zech at Pogon Szczecin in Poland, is already 36 years old. However, that doesn't bother sports director Roland Kirchler too much. He explains why: "I have a picture hanging in my office of a 36-year-old who scored eleven goals for SCR Altach in the 2007/08 season. There is no such thing as young or old, there is only good or not good." Incidentally, the picture in Kirchler's office is the one that Altach gave him as a farewell gift in the summer of 2008.

Gorgon made 18 appearances for Szczecin in the first Polish league last season, scored four goals and has plenty of experience as well as attacking qualities: "He can be deployed in almost all attacking positions. That could be helpful for us in the relegation battle."

However, the signing is not yet a done deal. There is now clarity in another matter. Altach made an effort to sign Manprit Sakaria, who was relegated to the two-man team at Sturm Graz: He moved to China.

Altach won yesterday's third test against FC Luzern II 5:1 (4:1).
