Altach have had a somewhat disappointing 2019/20 campaign, as they failed to qualify for the Championship Group and then failed to qualify for Europe through the Relegation Group Play-offs. However, their campaign was much better than the one they had a year earlier, when only a late resurgence, which they had after Alex Pastoor took over, resulted in their survival in the division. The reason why the previous campaign was somewhat of a disappointment is the general consensus that Altach's performances were not matched by their results - they kept playing good football but were let down by shortcomings at both ends of the pitch, with a lack of a constant source of goals being particularly frustrating. For this reason, their fans will be worried to have seen two of their last season's top scorers leave the club in Sidney Sam and Christian Debauer, with the former leaving after failing to agree a contract extension and the latter deciding to continue his career in Germany. For more than a decade, Altach have been shopping outside of the top flight, with this summer's list of arrivals including only one familiar Bundesliga name, with this being Mattersburg keeper Tino Casali. While losing two of their most potent attacking threats is obviously worrying, a major boost is that Pastoor has decided to stay on in his role as their manager. There is an overall feeling that there is just that little extra something missing before Altach become a genuine top half side and it remains to be seen if things will click for them this season.

Target

While their squad looks a touch weaker than it was last season, Altach have showed plenty of potential and will be aiming for a top half finish.

Season Review

2020/2021

№10: Altach

Lack of money meant that Altach had to be creative on the transfer market last summer and most of the new signings made lacked experience. This the main reason why slow start to the campaign was suffered – (W2 D2 L10). The away form was particularly poor during the regular season with Altach losing 8 of their first 9 games on the road. Combination of very poor defending and toothless forward actions put Altach in serious trouble come mid-February and this was when coach Pastoor was sacked. He was immediately replaced by experienced Damir Canadi and the new boss changed the fortunes fast. The main change after Canadi took charge was the much better defending, Altach kept 4 clean sheets in the first 7 rounds under Canadi, able to keep just 2 in the opening 18 games of the season. Come play-off time Canadi also rejuvenated the forward line and after going 22 rounds without a goal Maderner ended the campaign on a high. In the end run of 3 wins in the first 4 games under Canadi + only 3 defeats in the 10 play-offs games proved enough to see Altach securing safety with 2 games to spare. Winter signings Subotic and Haudum helped a lot for the improved results in 2021, but the one player that kept his displays at high level all season was versatile Fischer. He was used in 4 different positions throughout the campaign and he did well in all. Canadi expected to use his connections at the top clubs to bring in some talented youngsters on loan this summer and under his expert guidance Altach are hoping for much better next season.
