Coach (around 2020/21)

Peter Stöger — Austrian, born 1966. A former professional midfielder and Austria international, Stöger moved into management and is best known for his successful spell at 1. FC Köln in Germany, where he helped stabilise and keep the club in the Bundesliga. He returned to Austria Wien as head coach in late 2020 (appointed in the autumn/early winter of 2020) to steady the team during a difficult period.

2020/21 season context

• The 2020/21 campaign was played under the continued impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic (limited or no crowds at times).

Playing style & approach

• At Austria Wien his focus was practical: improve consistency, reduce errors, and give opportunities to promising academy graduates alongside experienced professionals.
