Rapid Vienna before a big upheaval: Stöger announces new transfers!

At Rapid Vienna, everything is currently in full swing. Sports director Markus Katzer and coach Peter Stöger announced other possible transfers last weekend. During the start of the season in Hütteldorf, which was visited by around 2000 fans, there was not only an exciting show training with the new additions Janis Antieste and Petter Nosa Dahl, but also many positive voices for the current squad.

Katzer emphasized that there is interest in other players, but are currently no official offers. This creates space for speculation about possible departures. The upcoming transfers from Mamadou Sangare and Serge-Philippe Raux-Yao seem inevitable. However, trainer Stöger was optimistic about the options for variation within his squad.

test game and honors

Tomorrow at 4 p.m. there will be a highly expected home test game against Union Berlin. The fans have shown lively interest, 16,500 tickets have already been sold. Before the actual test game, a team of rapid legends, among them the popular Guido Burgstaller, will compete against fans who have bought their place. The “Team Fans” is looked after by Peter Pacult, while Josef Hickersberger will be happy to cheer on the stands. In addition, the guest of honor Heribert Weber is congratulated on his 70th birthday.

In addition, the rapid fans can look forward to a new away jersey that is designed in the striking blue-red pinstripe pattern and is available both in the fan shops and online. If you want to get a card for the upcoming second-round second leg for the Conference League qualification against Dedic on July 31st or the league start against BW Linz, you should hurry because the tickets are quickly out of stock.

Peter Stöger in focus

A special focus is on Peter Stöger. The 59-year-old, who worked as an Admira sports director in the summer of 2023 and actually planned to lead the team to the Bundesliga, will apparently take over the coaching bench at Rapid. The Presidium of Rapid Vienna has already given the green light, the official announcement of this decision is expected for the middle of next week. Before his time at Admira, Stöger trained well -known clubs such as Austria, Cologne and Dortmund and is considered a club legend at Rapid, where he reached the European Caup finals in 1996. Stöger had had to deal with protests by fans in the past, for example during his time at Ferencvaros Budapest.

It is clear: a lot is happening at Rapid Vienna and the fans can look forward to exciting times. Stay tuned for further news! For deeper insights into the current events in football and daily results updates, also take a look at football transfers.
