Altach struggled for the majority of the 2018/19 season but improved in the late stages of the campaign and eventually managed to stir clear of danger, even launching an unlikely European push late on. Alex Pastoor, who took over in the second half of the season, looked set to depart following the departure of his short-term deal, but the club eventually managed to persuade the Dutch manager to change his mind and sign a contact extension. Given that Pastoor did not have a previous transfer window to make the squad his own, it is hardly a surprise that Altach were the most active in the transfer window out of all Bundesliga clubs. A number of players have come and gone. No truly key players have left the club, while the list of arrivals is a mix of youth and proven Bundesliga players such as Berndt Gschweidl and Mathias Maak. What will certainly set the Altachers' mood going into the new season are their performances from the second half of the previous campaign. Pastoor has got them to look like a well-organized and a competitive side and, following a decent summer transfer window, Altach fans will fancy their side to maintain that momentum.

Target

While hoping to finish inside the top half and battle for an European place, they would be reasonably pleased with a midtable finish.

Season Review

2018/2019

№9: Altach

After enjoying a disappointing 2017/18 season, Altach opted to part ways with Klaus Schmidt and replace him with the inexperienced Werner Grabherr. The decision to promote from within and give a young manager a chance to manage them might have been admirable, but backfired badly, as the Altachers spent the vast majority of the season badly struggling against the drop. Grabherr managed to keep his job past the winter break despite the underwhelming results, but the board opted to act early in the spring season and relieve him of his duties. The Altachers did not really improve under their temporary managerial team, but the board's decision to appoint Dutch manager Alex Pastoor proved to have been a great one, as Altach greatly improved under him and managed to secure their survival with few problems. With Pastoor quickly helping them secure their survival, the remaining question was whether he would stay at the club past his original deal, which expired at the end of the season. Despite initially strongly suggesting that he will be returning to the Netherlands, Pastoor has signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2019/20 season. It remains to be seen if the Altachers can build on the promise shown under the Dutchman in the second half of the campaign.
