The club is 14-time Austrian champions, won the ÖFB Cup six times and reached the final of the UEFA Cup in 1994. Salzburg's U19 team won the first UEFA club title for an Austrian team in the 2017 UEFA Youth League .

Founded as SV Austria Salzburg, Salzburg Sport AG was 100 percent taken over by Red Bull GmbH in 2005 and renamed FC Red Bull Salzburg. Since the game operations and the license were still with the club, the sole right of appointment and recall of the board by Salzburg Sport AG was anchored in the club statutes. From 2015, Red Bull's influence was reduced. Red Bull waived the right of appointment and recall and remains with the club as a sponsor to ensure that FC Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig can take part in UEFA competitions at the same time. In summer 2016, gaming operations and licensing were outsourced to FC Red Bull Salzburg GmbH , of which the club is the sole shareholder.

The association's official founding date is June 1, 1950 and the ZVR number 909741108. The association's statutes are not readily available and little is known about membership, estimated at 100; even less how to become a member.

history

Foundation and promotion to the A-League

The club was founded on September 13, 1933 under the name SV Austria Salzburg, through a merger of the workers' club FC Rapid Salzburg from Lehen (played in green and white) and the civil club FC Hertha Salzburg (played in blue and white). The background to this was the formation of the new Upper Austria-Salzburg league, in which, apart from the Salzburg AK 1914, no other competitive Salzburg club could have started. The Upper Austria-Salzburg League only lasted two seasons before it split up into the two regional leagues .

It was only during the Second World War that the club was able to join the SAK in 1914, and as national champions in 1941, the club even played for promotion to the highest Austrian league. However, three defeats in three relegation games with a goal difference of 2:15 showed that Salzburg Austria was not yet prepared for this. At the height of the war, the club was formed with its competitors SAK 1914 and 1919 1. Salzburger SK the football community Salzburg ; from the 1945/46 season the club played again as SV Austria Salzburg in the top Salzburg league.

After the end of the war, Salzburger Austria was able to hold onto the Salzburg State League and in 1949 qualify as one of five Salzburg clubs for the Tauern League . In the top amateur division, the Violets were able to successfully prevail in 1952/53 and thus compete against Arlbergmeister Innsbrucker AC for the title of Austrian Western Champion. 5: 0 and 9: 0 were the results that not only earned the club its first major title, but also made it possible to relegate to the A-League . With 6: 0 and 1: 3 against Kapfenberger SV , Austria was able to overcome this hurdle and was first class and represented in professional football.

Establishment and first runner-up

SV Austria Salzburg managed to keep the class successfully for two years before relegation to the Tauern League in 1956/57 . But as early as 1958, the club again secured the Tauern Championship and, subsequently, the Western Championship; in the relegation, however, came the end against WSV Donawitz . The violets did not give up and had the chance in the relegation again as West champions in 1959, this time FC Stadlau was narrowly beaten with an overall score of 4: 3. In order to keep relegation in the A-League this time, Erich Probst was sensationally engaged. The striker was the second best scorer in the 1954 World Cup with six goals . 14 league goals in only 20 games ensured non-relegation; For Probst this even meant a renewed call-up to the national team , making him the first international Austrian.

But in order to actually establish themselves in the first class, it should take another decade for the people of Mozart town. Already in 1960/61 you had to go to the new Regionalliga West , but in 1961/62 you could immediately return to the A-League - without losing a single game. In 1962/63 , however, the relegation followed immediately , but in 1964/65 SV Austria Salzburg reported back as regional league champions. Immediately returned with only 12 points in 1965/66 , the club did not give up and after the 1966/67 season was again in the highest Austrian league, which now (from 1965/66) carried the new name Nationalliga . In November 1966, President Karl Sachs resigned after 17 years in office during the (renewed) master ’s year.
This period of relegation and promotion also inevitably earned the club the nickname “ elevator team ”, but Adi Macek, an Austrian from this era, made it into the national team.

By signing veteran Horst Hirnschrodt and thanks to Karl Kodat , the hoped-for league was initially achieved in 1968 after four unsuccessful attempts in series, but as it soon turned out, such worries were soon forgotten. Only two years later, Salzburg Austria was autumn champion and reached for the Austrian championship . Winning the Vienna City Hall tournament and reaching the Mitropacupfinals in the same year underlined the team's performance at the time. With two rounds to go, Salzburger Austria was tied with FC Wacker Innsbruck in the table, but a 2-2 draw at WSG Swarovski Wattens only meant the runner-up title. In addition to Hirnschrodt and Kodat, Adi Antrich , Karl Ritter , Franz Weidinger , Adi Blutsch and the Germans Heinz Libuda and Peter Grosser were the pillars of the runner-up team.

Triumphs in the cup, defeats in the championship

The Lehen stadium, on the left the standing room and on the right the seated grandstand

The 1971/72 season contained two premieres for the people of Mozartstadt: They were allowed to play in the new Lehen stadium for the first time , which brought a strong increase in spectators to 8,700; on the other hand, the first appearance in the UEFA Cup as runner-up was on the program. Against UTA Arad , however, they had to admit defeat 4: 5. Big financial problems and several quick coaching changes meant that the club only got a new chance in the UEFA Cup when they were fourth in the 1976 table . Until then you had to be content with table positions in the lower midfield, the club, which inevitably had to rely on young talents such as Franz Bacher , Hannes Winklbauer and Gerald Haider , could score in the ÖFB Cup . The highlight was the 1974 ÖFB Cup final, in which they met Austria from Vienna . For the second leg in Lehen, the Violets took a good 1: 2 from Vienna, in front of a sold out house the first national title seemed within reach thanks to the leadership of Alfred Hala , before Herbert Prohaska six minutes before the end with the 1-1 his men to the winner chosen.

The 1976/77 season began with good performances in the UEFA Cup: The club made it to the second round with no problems via Turkey's Adanaspor , but were eliminated after a 2-1 home win over Red Star Belgrade after a 0-1 in Belgrade . The season then took a pitch-black course, with only 23 points they were clearly last and relegated to the 2nd division . There, however, the competition was given little chance and managed to rise again with a lead of 10 points. In the championship, more likely to be found in the second half of the table, in 1980/81 you had to tremble until the last round, when the Mozartstadters stayed in the 1st division thanks to a 2-0 victory over SC Eisenstadt tied on points . Again, the appearances in the ÖFB Cup did not quite fit into the picture: in 1978 as a second division team only stopped on penalties in the semi-finals, the Violets were in the final in both 1980 and 1981. In both finals, however, followed 1-0 home wins over Wiener Austria and the GAK 0-2 away defeats.

Near demise and reconnection to the national top

In 1983 the 50th anniversary of the club could be celebrated, but the future did not look very promising for the club. In 1984/85 he was relegated to the 2nd division with only 18 points; there was a changing of the guard in Salzburg football, because at the same time the SAK rose to the 1st division in 1914. The club found it difficult to maintain its position in the 2nd division, and spectator interest dropped dramatically; Ultimately, the club's management decided to join the SAK in 1914, but the latter refused. A sensational coup brought Salzburger Austria back into the 1st division: Hans Krankl was reactivated and now wore a purple dress; He didn't even need two minutes of playing time for his first championship goal. Salzburg was hit by a football boom, the Lehen stadium was now mostly overcrowded in the 2nd division, six months later the promotion was certain.

The Salzburg Austria succeeded in the following, to bind veterans like Heribert Weber and Gerry Willfurth for the "project league". Together with Srecko Kurbaša , Christian Fürstaller , Wolfgang Feiersinger and Franz Aigner , the goal was achieved with sixth place without any problems. In 1990/91 a young German player caused a sensation in Salzburg: Oliver Bierhoff scored 23 championship goals, the club climbed to fifth place. In the 1991/92 and 1992/93 seasons the team was further strengthened with experienced Bundesliga players such as Christian Keglevits , Andreas Reisinger and Heimo Pfeifenberger . The club was now playing for the Austrian championship title: in 1992 they finished second behind Vienna's Austria with equal points. In the very last round it came to a direct clash, in which the Viennese just got the upper hand with 2: 1 in front of 40,000 spectators. It was just as tight in 1993, when the club was once again tied for runners-up behind Vienna's Austria.

In the 1993/94 season , Austria Salzburg won the first championship title in the club's history under coach Otto Barić , but thanks to the great international successes, this was almost a minor matter. As a runner-up you started successfully in the UEFA Cup, Dunajska Streda and Royal Antwerp were eliminated. In the round of 16 they lost to Sporting Lisbon 0-2 in the first leg , but in the second leg they won 3-0 after extra time. The following two duels with the German Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt and Oliver Kahns Karlsruher SC also won the Mozartstadt team. So the UEFA Cup final against Inter Milan was reached, which was lost 1-0 in the first and second leg.

In the 1994/95 season , the team was able to qualify for the UEFA Champions League . The game against AC Milan was marked by riots by the Italian fans, who threw bottles and lighters at Salzburg goalkeeper Otto Konrad and thus provoked an injury-related substitution. The referee's decision to whistle the game again after the riots was also controversial, the decision at the green table was even more controversial: AC Milan was fined and lost the points won, but the defeat remained valid for Salzburg. As a result, AC Milan rose to the quarter-finals. In the championship, however, the title was successfully defended, a 2-0 in the penultimate round against SK Vorwärts Steyr brought the title win.

In the 1995/96 season , the club failed in the UEFA Champions League qualification to Steaua Bucharest . Otherwise, the year was marked by internal power struggles and coach changes. The departure of Otto Barić was followed by Hermann Stessl and then Heribert Weber . In the championship the team took the disappointing 8th place. Therefore, the Salzburg team started the 1996/97 season as a big outsider . Despite the departure of important players such as Otto Konrad to Real Saragossa , Heimo Pfeifenberger to Werder Bremen and Wolfgang Feiersinger to Borussia Dortmund , the redesigned team managed to conquer the title against the more highly rated teams from SK Rapid Wien and SK Sturm Graz .

The next seasons should lower the expectations of the club. The 1997/98 season was marked by disillusionment: the missed Champions League qualification against Sparta Prague (0-0 at home, 0-3 away) was followed by elimination in the first UEFA Cup round against RSC Anderlecht (4-3 at home, 2: 4 away). For years, SV Austria Salzburg was only in the middle of the table; At least in the ÖFB-Cup they reached the final for the fourth time in 2000, but lost on penalties against the Grazer AK.

Economically, Austria was placed on a new basis on January 25, 2000: Some business areas were spun off from the club into the newly founded Salzburg Sport AG , which was immediately acquired with all liabilities from Carinthian Egon Putzi, who, however, already had 90% of the shares in 2001 sold to Rudolf Quehenberger (60%) and Heinz Kluppenegger (30%). The game operations of the professional team, however, remained with the club itself, since the Bundesliga statutes require that a club holds the majority in a corporation that runs the game in its place. A takeover by external investors would therefore have been ruled out.

After moving to the EM stadium in Wals-Siezenheim and through a successful sporting spring 2003, an international starting position could be achieved again after a long time, but the club fought against relegation from the Bundesliga in the following two seasons - among other things due to financial reasons Bad planning and unfortunate transfer policy. The 2003/04 season ended Salzburg in 7th place and lost in the UEFA Cup - after an unexpected success against Udinese Calcio in the 1st round (0: 1 at home, 2: 1 away) - in the 2nd round against the AC Parma out.

Red Bull joins

On April 6, 2005, took over Red Bull GmbH , the Salzburg Sport AG to 100%. However, since the club itself is responsible for the game operations of the professional team as a licensee in the Bundesliga, the takeover was supplemented by the establishment of a special right in favor of Red Bull GmbH in the club's statutes. According to point 13 paragraph 2, Red Bull has the sole right of appointment and recall of the board (even without the approval of the general meeting or the board) as long as the group is a full member of the association.

Amid protests by many fans, the club was reconstituted as FC Red Bull Salzburg on June 3, 2005 at a constituent general assembly. This step was led by the words “No compromise. This is a new club. There is no tradition, there is no history, there is no archive ”accompanies. At the same time, the violet and white club colors were exchanged for the red and blue colors of the beverage manufacturer. This attitude met with incomprehension among many football fans. The then coach Kurt Jara countered: "Then people should start their own club." After failed negotiations with the uncompromising club management, fans who did not want to accept the new leadership and identity followed this advice and founded Austria as SV Austria Salzburg new. In the meantime, however, the criticized attitude towards their own history has been revised by FC Red Bull Salzburg, among other things because a completely new club should not have started in the Bundesliga. Rudolf Quehenberger was replaced as President by Rudolf Theierl - already Chairman of the Board of EC Red Bull Salzburg - and the name of this function was changed to Chairman of the Board . Quehenberger was made honorary president. In 2015 the statutes of the association were changed again and all special rights of Red Bull GmbH were removed from the statutes. At the same time, a new board of directors was elected, which has consisted of Rudolf Theierl, Franz Rauch and Herbert Resch since then. Red Bull will now remain with the club as a sponsor. This is to ensure that FC Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig can take part in UEFA competitions at the same time . In summer 2016, gaming operations were spun off into FC Red Bull Salzburg GmbH , of which the club is the sole shareholder.

The first years after the new beginning

The team on October 23, 2005

In their first season after joining Red Bull , Salzburg under coach Kurt Jara became the Austrian runner-up after Vienna's Austria after a weak start to the season . Before the season, well-known players from the German Bundesliga such as Vratislav Lokvenc and Aleksander Knavs were brought to Wals-Siezenheim. Red Bull's good contacts with Franz Beckenbauer (he was on hand to advise Red Bull co-owner Dietrich Mateschitz in developing the Red Bull football strategy) made it possible to sign Alexander Zickler and Thomas Linke from FC Bayern Munich . At the end of the season, Kurt Jara was released from his duties; he was accused of "inconsistencies" of a financial nature in transfers - an accusation that Jara fought and thus even became pending in court. On December 31, 2005, Salzburg Sport AG was also converted into what is now Salzburg Sport GmbH .

For the 2006/07 season were Giovanni Trapattoni and assistant Lothar Matthaeus appointed to succeed Jara. At the start of the season, FC Red Bull Salzburg failed to make it into the UEFA Champions League against FC Valencia in the third qualifying round (3-0 away after a 1-0 home win) and lost in the first round of the UEFA Cup after one 2-2 at home and a 2-0 defeat away to Blackburn Rovers . The rest of the season went well for the new club, however, on April 28, 2007, FC Red Bull Salzburg crowned themselves champions in the 31st round with a 2-2 draw against Austria Wien.

At the beginning of the 2007/08 season , FC Red Bull Salzburg announced on June 12, 2007 that they were separating from Lothar Matthäus with immediate effect due to different opinions.

In the first UEFA Cup round they failed against AEK Athens with 0: 3 and 1: 0. In the Bundesliga, FC Red Bull Salzburg were able to secure the UEFA Cup qualification as Austrian runner-up after a weak first half of the season. The club missed the chance for more with a 7-0 home defeat against eventual champions Rapid five rounds before the end of the season.

On July 1, 2008, Co Adriaanse took over as coach from Giovanni Trapattoni. After the runner-up title in the previous season, Salzburg, who had strengthened themselves with many new players in the summer, had to face Bananz Yerevan in the first round of the UEFA Cup qualification . With a 7-0 home game, the Adriaanse-Elf was able to achieve the highest international victory in the club's history. After a 3-0 win in the second leg and the elimination of Sūduva Marijampolė with a 4-1 win in Lithuania and a disappointing 1-0 at home, Red Bull Salzburg were in the first main round of the UEFA- just like in the previous two years. Cups . There they were eliminated against FC Sevilla after two 0-2 defeats.

In the autumn of 2008, Marc Janko set a new Bundesliga half-time record with 30 goals and at the end of the season won the Bundesliga top scorer with 39 goals. These 39 goals were also a new club record that Oliver Bierhoff had held with 23 goals in one season. On May 17, 2009, early in the 34th round, Salzburg won the Austrian championship title for the second time in the Red Bull era thanks to a 3-0 defeat by Rapid in Ried , as they won the LASK with 2: 1 and was now unassailable in front of the Viennese. The Bullen championship celebration took place after the last Bundesliga game of the season on May 31, 2009 at Mozartplatz in front of around 7,000 fans.

On April 21, 2009 it was announced that Huub Stevens would replace Co Adriaanse as coach from June 1, 2009. In addition, nine new players were brought in and a new captain named goalkeeper Eddie Gustafsson . In addition, the German Dietmar Beiersdorfer was hired in November 2009 , who not only became sports director of Salzburg, but also sports director of the entire Red Bull soccer project. The former sports director Heinz Hochhauser became the Red Bull junior manager.

Friendly match against Bayern Munich on July 10, 2009

At the beginning of the season, FC Bayern Munich was invited to the Red Bull Arena for a farewell game for Niko Kovač , who worked for both teams for a total of five years. The game ended 0-0 in front of a record crowd of 32,000 spectators.

Champions League qualification 2009/10 against Dinamo Zagreb

In the Champions League season 2009/10 you eliminated first the Bohemians Dublin and Dinamo Zagreb . The opponent in the last round was Maccabi Haifa . Against the Israelis, Salzburg lost 2-1 at home and 3-0 away, missed qualifying for the Champions League and had to switch to the Europa League group stage , where Salzburg met FC Villarreal , Lazio Rome and Levski Sofia . There, the club was the only one to win all six games in this Europa League season and rose to the next round as group winners, where Salzburg lost 3-2 to Standard Liège in the first leg after a 2-0 lead and afterwards who were eliminated 0-0 in the second leg.

During the game of the 31st round against LASK , Salzburg's goalkeeper and captain Eddie Gustafsson was seriously injured by a foul by Lukas Kragl . After this incident, Salzburg slipped into a sporting crisis that made the race for the championship title exciting again. Salzburg won only four points from the following four games, but with an away win against Sturm Graz in the last championship game, the club was able to defend the title - one point ahead of Austria Wien .

At the beginning of the next season , the record goalscorer and crowd favorite Marc Janko and two-time top scorer Alexander Zickler left the club. Janko was sold to FC Twente Enschede for around 6.5 million euros , Zickler moved to LASK.

Champions League play-off 2010/11 against Hapoel Tel Aviv

In the 2010/11 Champions League season , Salzburg reached the third qualifying round after a 5-0 win in the first leg of the second qualifying round against Faroese champions HB Tórshavn and a 0-1 defeat in the second leg, where they won Omonia Nicosia turned off.

With only 2 points and a goal difference of 1: 9, the team took last place there.

The 2010/11 fall season was disappointing. After a difficult start after the 19th round, 3rd place was taken four points behind Winterkönig SV Ried , but since playful highlights were missing (the low point was the end in the ÖFB Cup against the third-class Blau-Weiß Linz ), fewer and fewer came Spectators to the home games. The minus record in the Red Bull era was reached at the last home game of the autumn season against Sturm Graz with 5,300 spectators. After further average performances in the spring and three draws in a row against Ried, Vienna Austria and LASK, the club parted ways with head coach Stevens and sports director Beiersdorfer on April 8, 2011, nine rounds before the end of the championship. At that time, the team was five points behind leaders Austria Wien in third place. Ricardo Moniz , who had previously worked as a technical trainer in the club, was appointed as the new head coach ; his assistant was Niko Kovač , the previous coach of the Juniors . The new team led the team to the runner-up title after a 4: 2 in the last round at Austria Wien.

Several double wins and continued failure in qualifying for the Champions League

Red Bull Salzburg coaching team after winning the double in 2012

Moniz and Kovac received a two-year contract. Heinz Hochhauser was appointed sports director again and immediately announced a change. In the future, more should be placed on the own worldwide academy players from Austria, Ghana and Brazil . Furthermore, the international demands were lowered, so reaching the Champions League was no longer an absolute goal, but the Europa League was desired. The championship title should still be the goal of the club.

With Martin Hinteregger , Daniel Offenbacher , Marco Meilinger and Georg Teigl , four youth players were drawn up from the second team for the first time in the Red Bull era at the beginning of the 2011/12 season. In addition, Alex Rafael and Jefferson Cardoso were brought to Salzburg by Red Bull Brasil , but they were transferred back to Brazil in the winter. Salzburg got off to a successful start into the new season and qualified for the group stage of the Europa League for the third time in a row . This ended after two wins over Slovan Bratislava , a home win against Paris Saint-Germain and a point gain away from Athletic Bilbao in second place in the table. The decisive factor here was the direct duel I won against Paris. Thus, in the third Europa League season, Salzburg managed to qualify for the sixteenth-finals for the second time, the opponent was Metalist Kharkiv . Salzburg went down against the Ukrainians with a total score of 1: 8 and were eliminated. The 4-0 defeat at home in the first leg meant the biggest defeat in an international competitive game since Red Bull's entry.

In the domestic championship, things went less than desired in the autumn. The autumn championship finished the team four points behind Leader SV Ried in fifth place. In the spring, Ricardo Moniz's team lost just one championship game - 1-0 at home against Mattersburg - and moved up to the top of the table. In the 33rd round Salzburg defeated the last serious title competitor, Rapid , 1-0 away. With a 5-1 away win at Wiener Neustadt, Salzburg secured the seventh championship title in club history with one round to go. In addition, the team won the ÖFB Cup for the first time after victories over their own Juniors and Hartberg and a 3-0 final win in Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium over defending champion Ried , thus getting the first double for the Mozartstadters.

On June 12, 2012, Moniz surprisingly resigned as head coach. He explained his decision in a subsequent newspaper interview lack of backing from the part of management and irreconcilable differences with the director of the training center of the club, the convicted DDR - Doping doctor Bernd Pansold . On June 24th, the club announced that the German Roger Schmidt would succeed Moniz. In addition, the multiple promotion coach Ralf Rangnick was introduced as the new sports director in both Salzburg and Leipzig and Gérard Houllier as global sports director.

As champions, Salzburg was qualified for the second qualifying round of the Champions League . There they were drawn to the semi-professional team of the Luxembourg champions F91 Dudelange . After a surprising 0: 1 away, the Bulls could not prevent the elimination at home, even if they were able to turn the second leg into a 4: 3 win after a 0: 1 or 2: 3 deficit. Due to the away goals rule , the Luxembourgers, who lost all games in the further qualification process, got one round further. In addition to the embarrassment of the national team against the Faroe Islands in 1990 , this departure is considered one of the bitterest defeats in Austrian football history.

The Austrian press went hard with the Salzburgers and wrote about a pathetic victory in the second leg, a crash landing, a peak of embarrassment and one of the greatest embarrassments in Austrian football. As a reaction to this debacle and the mixed performance in the domestic championship, the new sports director signed seven new (mainly young) players for a rumored total of around 17 million euros. This would be a new record in Austrian football. At the same time Jakob Jantscher , who was the top scorer in the previous season and was voted best player, left the club for Moscow .

In the autumn championship, most of the points have been scored since 2005, but in the table it was only enough to place 2 behind FK Austria Wien . In the ÖFB Cup , the team reached the semi-finals, but experienced the second major disgrace of the season when the defending champion lost 2-1 at home against regional league team and cooperation partner FC Pasching and was eliminated. After 36 rounds of the championship they finished second and thus took part in the Champions League qualification for the next season. With 91 goals scored, a club-internal scoring record was achieved in spite of the runner-up, as well as 77 points.

At the international level, it was once again not enough to make it into the Champions League in the 2013/14 season . In the third qualifying round, Salzburg lost after a 1-1 draw in the first leg to Fenerbahçe Istanbul ; the second leg in Turkey was lost 3-1. Red Bull Salzburg failed to make it into the premier class on their sixth attempt, but did reach the Europa League group stage after two wins in the play-off against Žalgiris Vilnius . There, Salzburg won all six games against Standard Liège , Esbjerg fB and IF Elfsborg , as they did four years earlier. In the third round of 16, Red Bull Salzburg made it through for the first time against Ajax Amsterdam . The club won the first leg away 3-0 and the second leg at home 3-1. In the round of 16, which the club's management proclaimed the “greatest day in the club's history” (despite the earlier UEFA Cup final), they lost to FC Basel after 0-0 in the first leg at St. Jakob-Park in Basel and a 1: 2 despite oppressive dominance in the second leg at home. Nevertheless, Jonatan Soriano was the top scorer in the Europa League with eight goals.

In the Austrian Bundesliga, the Bulls set a new record with 33 games without a defeat and only lost again in November 2013 at Admira after almost a year without a defeat. On matchday 28, Salzburg secured themselves the win of their eighth championship, with which the record of Sturm Graz from the 1997/98 season for the earliest championship decided according to the three-point rule system was undercut. At the end of the season, the team had scored 110 goals, surpassing the previous Bundesliga record for SK Rapid. With the former club record of 80 points, the record of FK Austria Wien from the previous season was not exceeded. In the final of the ÖFB Cup on May 18, 2014, the club achieved the second double in the club's history with a 4-2 win against SKN St. Pölten.

Schmidt then left the club and moved to Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga . In May 2014, Adi Hütter was introduced as the new trainer. He was the dream coach of the sports director Rangnick, as he would, in his opinion, develop the previous game philosophy further. The seventh attempt at the Champions League group stage was made against Qarabağ Ağdam . The first leg ended with a 1: 2 defeat despite great expectations. In the second leg, the Bulls won 2-0 thanks to a Hinteregger double. In the play-off against the Swedish champions Malmö FF was won at home with 2: 1, with the only goal of the club from the southern Swedish region of Scania by Emil Forsberg in injury time worsened the starting position. The second leg at the Swedbank Stadion in Malmö was lost 3-0 and the Bulls had to make do with the Europa League again . In group D the club Celtic Glasgow , Dinamo Zagreb and Astra Giurgiu were drawn. With five wins and one draw, the group was won before Glasgow. In the sixteenth-finals they were defeated by the opponents Villarreal both in the first leg (1: 2) and in the second leg (1: 3) and were eliminated.

The league season was also successful again under coach Adi Hütter. In the 35th round, the championship plate was received at the home game against Wolfsberger AC . Overall, the Salzburg team was only not at the top of the table in four rounds. Jonatan Soriano was voted the best player in the league. He managed to score more than 30 goals in a season for the second time in a row. Together with Marcel Sabitzer he also led the scorer list, both of which had 13 assists each. In addition to winning the championship, the cup final was reached again. With a 2-0 win after extra time against Austria Wien, the Bulls secured their third double for the second year in a row. With Rapid Vienna at the beginning of the 1920s and Austria Vienna in 1963, only two other teams had succeeded.

Despite the success, the club and Hütter dissolved the contract in June 2015. The reason for this was that Hütter did not want to go along with the philosophy of the increased use of young players prescribed by the club. As announced in January, Ralf Rangnick also left the club in order to be able to devote himself better to his position at RB Leipzig, where he also became a coach. His tasks were taken over by the new sporting director and previous sport coordinator Christoph Freund , who has been with the club since 2006, and managing director Jochen Sauer , who came from Germany in 2012.

After negotiations with the Spaniard Óscar García , which did not result in a signature, the club announced on June 22, 2015 that Peter Zeidler , previously coach of the Salzburg farm team FC Liefering and a former companion of the outgoing sports director Rangnick, would be the new coach at Red Bull Salzburg becomes.

After Red Bull Salzburg surprisingly started with two defeats in their domestic league, they failed in their eighth attempt in qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. In the third qualifying round, the team defeated Malmö FF 2-0 in the first leg, but lost 3-0 away in the second leg as in the previous year and was eliminated. In contrast to previous years, this time the Europa League was also missed. As losers in the Champions League entered the play-off round of the Europa League, the team failed after a 2-2 total score on penalties at Dinamo Minsk .

After an autumn season with ups and downs, the club surprisingly announced the separation from coach Peter Zeidler on December 3rd. For the last two games in 2015, FC Liefering's coach Thomas Letsch was appointed as interim coach. With the start of the spring championship, the Spaniard Óscar García became the new coach at FC Red Bull Salzburg. A good spring season was played under his direction and the championship title was achieved for the third time in a row. In the final table they reached nine points ahead of second, Rapid Vienna. In the last home game of the season, in addition to the championship plate, the awards for Naby Keita as the best player and Alexander Walke as the best goalie of the season were presented. In addition, they were the first club in Austria to win the double for the third time in a row by beating Admira Wacker in the cup final 5-0.

Salzburg fans demand the master star

Since the renewed championship title meant the overall tenth championship (7 FC Red Bull Salzburg, 3 SV Austria Salzburg), the club would have been entitled to wear a star on its jersey. In consultation with sponsors and partners, the association waived this. The active fan scene reacted with incomprehension. In the last two games, a boycott of the mood was proclaimed, which was acknowledged by parts of the audience with a whistle concert at the last home game. Honorary President Rudi Quehenberger also spoke out in favor of the championship star and was irritated by the association's declaration that “you don't want to adorn yourself with foreign feathers”.

In August 2016, Salzburg failed in the ninth attempt in the Red Bull era to qualify for the UEFA Champions League: In the play-off round, the club lost 1-1 and 1-2 in extra time against Dinamo Zagreb . Salzburg coach Óscar García criticized after numerous players, including Keita, Bernardo and Schmitz, had left the club for the RB Leipzig partner club, which was also funded by Red Bull , and saw the Salzburgers' self-image as a training club changed.

The championship began again with a defeat (1: 3 at Sturm Graz), the first victory could only be celebrated in the third round. At the end of the first half of the season, Salzburg was in third place. With a new Bundesliga record of 47 points in the second half of the season and the fewest goals conceded (24) since joining Red Bull, a race to catch up succeeded, which set a new club record of 81 points and 18 points (league record 19 points ex aequo by Sturm Graz 1998 and Red Bull Salzburg 2007) on the runner-up, Austria Vienna, which meant sovereign defending the title again. In addition, with the fourth en suite championship won, the previous record of Austria Wien (1978–1981) was set. The only defeat in the second half was only on May 6, 2017 with 1: 2 at SV Mattersburg. But already in the following 33rd round they could fulfill the title mission an 11th time in the home game against SK Rapid Wien. After Otto Baric, Óscar García was the second coach to date in Salzburg and the first coach since Kurt Jara with FC Tirol in 2001 to defend the title in the Austrian Bundesliga. With the 2-0 away win against WAC on April 15, 2017 in Wolfsberg, the Spanish coach reached 100 points in just 45 Bundesliga games and was able to undercut former coach Roger Schmidt's top division by two games. After the captain and multiple top scorer Jonatan Soriano left the club for China in February 2017, it was decided that his jersey number 26 would no longer be awarded.

After the recent double victory with a 2-1 win against Rapid it was announced that Óscar Garcia would leave the club and move to AS St. Étienne in the French Ligue 1 .

Teamphoto against Real Sociedad

Euroleague 2018/19 group stage RB Leipzig - FC Salzburg

After Óscar Garcia left, Marco Rose was hired as his successor. Rose had previously coached the club's U19 team, which won the UEFA Youth League in the 2016/17 season . Like all coaches before him, he failed with the club to qualify for the UEFA Champions League . In the 3rd round the team failed with a total score of 1: 1 due to the away goals rule at NK Rijeka . With the failure, Salzburg switched to qualifying for the UEFA Europa League . In the play off FC Viitorul Constanța from Romania was beaten by a score of 7-1. In the group stage, the Salzburg Olympique won Marseille from France, Konyaspor from Turkey and Vitória Guimarães from Portugal.

The group stage ended successfully; without defeat (3 wins and 3 draws) you became group winner. In the sixteenth finals they met the Spanish first division team Real Sociedad San Sebastián , which they could defeat with a total score of 4: 3. In the round of 16, the top German club Borussia Dortmund was drawn to the Mozart townspeople. Here too, Salzburg prevailed with a 2-1 win in Dortmund and 0-0 in the second leg.

In the quarter-finals they were drawn to the Italian club Lazio Rome , the first leg in Rome took place on April 5, 2018, where the Romans won 4-2. In the second leg on April 12, 2018, Salzburg was able to prevail 4-1 in the home stadium after Lazio first took the lead through Ciro Immobile , but was equalized after just one minute by Munas Dabbur . The game was decided between the 72nd and 76th minute when Amadou Haidara , Hee-Chan Hwang and Stefan Lainer scored three times to the final score within 4 minutes and 7 seconds. This became a new Europa League record. In the draw for the semi-finals they got Olympique Marseille as opponents. In France they lost 0-2 to Salzburg. The Salzburg team won their home game 2-1 after extra time, but were eliminated with a total score of 2-3. The goal of the French to 2-1 fell after a corner in the 116th minute by Rolando.

In the 2017/18 championship , neither the autumn championship nor the unofficial title of winter king was achieved, but with the start of the spring championship, Salzburg found its way back to the top of the table. After four rounds in the spring, the gap was increased from one point at the end of the autumn season to a lead of 7 points. In the end, Salzburg were able to celebrate their fifth championship title in a row. The number of 83 points achieved represents a new record in the three-point era.

In the ÖFB Cup , Marco Rose's team reached the final, in which, however , they had to admit defeat to SK Sturm Graz 0: 1 in stoppage time against Heiko Vogel and his team .

In the 2018/19 Champions League qualification, Salzburg defeated the Macedonian club KF Shkendija Tetovo in the third round with a total of 4-0. In the play-off, Salzburg lost to the Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade due to the away goal rule after a 0-0 win in Belgrade and a 2-2 at home, which meant that Salzburg could not successfully complete the Champions League qualification for the eleventh year in a row.

When the play-off was reached, however, it was again possible to switch to the Europa League group stage. There they were drawn to Rosenborg Trondheim , Celtic Glasgow and RasenBallsport Leipzig . The games against Leipzig in particular were criticized by the football public, as both clubs are sponsored by Red Bull. On September 20, 2018, the two teams met for the first time in a competition game in Leipzig. The game ended with a 3-2 away win for Salzburg. Salzburg also won the second leg. At the end of the group stage there were 6 wins on the credit side for the third time. In the sixteenth finals, the Belgian Club Bruges was drawn by the Salzburgers. After a 1: 2 defeat, Salzburg prevailed 4: 0 in the second leg and advanced to the second round. There they were drawn to the top Italian club SSC Napoli . In the away game they lost 0: 3, the second leg could be won 3: 1. With an overall ratio of 3: 4, they dropped out of the competition.

The league format was changed in the 2018/19 championship . There are now 12 teams playing in the Bundesliga. After a basic round with 22 games, the table is divided into a champions group (1st to 6th place) and a qualifying round. After the basic round, the points achieved are halved to increase the tension.

FC Red Bull Salzburg started with 10 wins in their first ten games. This surpassed the start record of SK Rapid Wien from the 1988/89 season. It was only in the 11th round that FC Wacker Innsbruck managed to achieve a draw. The first defeat came in the first game after the winter break, where Rapid Vienna prevailed 2-0 at home. On April 10, 2019, it was announced that Marco Rose would be joining the German Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach as the new head coach for the 2019/20 season, where he will succeed Dieter Hecking . In the final of the cup, SK Rapid was defeated 2-0 after the defeat in the previous season against Sturm Graz and the sixth cup win was secured. Jesse Marsch , previously assistant coach at RB Leipzig, was signed as his successor .

Time after Rose and the first Champions League participation of the Red Bull era

From the ranks of the fans, Jesse Marsch initially met distrust, as he was previously an assistant coach at RB Leipzig, a club that was and is not popular in the curve due to the large staff migration to this club.

Name changes and mergers

• 1933 to 1946 SV Austria Salzburg
• 1946 to 1950 TSV Austria Salzburg - merger with ATSV Salzburg
• 1950 to 1973 SV Austria Salzburg
• 1973 to 1976 SV Gerngroß A. Salzburg
• 1976 to 1978 SV Sparkasse Austria Salzburg
• 1978 to 1997 SV Casino Salzburg
• 1997 to 2005 SV Wüstenrot Salzburg
• Since 2005 FC Red Bull Salzburg

Although the part of the name “Austria” has not appeared in the official club name for over 40 years, it was not only recognized by the club's supporters (via choirs and banners), but also by the media and by the club itself (on the website and from the stadium announcer). Toni Pichler - manager for many years and at that time even the top functionary of the association for a short time - described this situation as follows in 2000: “The branded goods Austria Salzburg should be much more prominent in the next few years, that's the identification for the fans” and “However, we did not withdraw this naming privilege from our loyal partner Wüstenrot . Austria Salzburg will be transported in the future through agreed measures. "

In the history of the club, which itself emerged from a merger of two clubs, there have been several collaborations and mergers with other clubs. When the VAFÖ and the workers' clubs were banned in 1934 , the footballers of the SK Vorwärts Maxglan played as the reserve team "Section Maxglan" until 1936 with the still young Austria. The footballers of the company club SK Oberascher also played as the club's reserve team at this time. In 1943 and 1944, due to the war, a joint combat team was set up with the Salzburger AK 1914 and the Salzburger SK 1919 , which took on as FG Salzburg . In autumn 1948, due to the budding big club thinking in functionaries, a merger with the gymnastics club ATSV Salzburg-Stadt, which had no soccer section itself, took place. However, this merger was dissolved again in the summer of 1950. The idea of ​​merging did not come up again until the athletically and financially lean years from the mid-eighties. The projects of the club management around Rudolf Quehenberger failed due to the rejection of the desired partners (1986 Casino-SAK with SAK 1914; 1989 FC Austria Taxham and 1991 FC Casino Salzburg with FC Salzburg ). In 1996, the then western division "FC Salzburg", which had meanwhile been in the red, finally merged with the SV Austria Salzburg Amateurs - the reserve team of Austria was an independent club in terms of club law. This gave the “amateurs” their own space. For the footballers of FC Salzburg - especially their young players - the ASV Taxham was founded as a rescue club .

With the entry of Red Bull in 2005, the club was renamed FC Red Bull Salzburg . In addition to the club colors, the name "Austria", which had not been officially used since 1978, also disappeared. Internationally, the club now operates as FC Salzburg , as UEFA forbids sponsorship names in club names.

After the merger of the two Salzburg clubs FC Rapid and FC Hertha , until 1944, during the war, the field was destroyed by bombs, played on the FC Rapid sports field. After the Second World War, the club moved to Parsch in the Volksgarten on the ATSV square, before moving to the Austria Sportplatz Lehen in 1947. This sports field was built in close proximity to the old FC Rapid Platz in Lehen . When construction work began on the Lehen stadium in 1969, the ASV-Platz in Itzling was used until the opening in 1971 . After 32 years, 586 first division games (295 wins, 154 draws, 137 defeats) and an average attendance of 7,428 per game, they moved to Wals-Siezenheim in March 2003 in the EM stadium in Salzburg .

For many international home games, the Vienna Ernst Happel Stadium and the Linzer Gugl were used between 1991 and 2004 , as the Lehen stadium was only approved for 5,300 spectators for international games and the artificial turf in the Salzburg European Championship stadium was not approved by UEFA was approved. Home games in the Intertoto Cup were also played in smaller towns such as Trimmelkam , Altheim or Seekirchen .

Second team

→ Main article : Red Bull Juniors

The second team, commonly referred to as Red Bull Juniors , played between 2007 and 2010 for a total of three seasons in the first division , the second highest division in Austria. Because of a league reform, the team had to relegate to the Regionalliga West in summer 2010. The Juniors were replaced by FC Liefering in 2012 .

Criticism and fan scene from 2005

After the takeover of Salzburg Sport AG by Red Bull , Salzburg fans protested against Red Bull and the associated consequences, such as changing the jersey colors, the coat of arms, the club name and the distancing from the club's history under the "Violet-White Initiative" ( fans wearing traditional purple / white were banned from the stadium, for example). A few times there were negotiations between the fan groups and the club officials, but they could never agree on the essential points. Eventually the entire fan scene of the club collapsed as practically all fan clubs broke with the new management and founded their own club . Despite the loss of the fan scene, ticket sales boomed in the first 2005/06 season. An average of 16,512 spectators attended the games, which was an increase of almost 10,000 spectators per game compared to the preseason.

The fan scene itself is only slowly recovering, however, as not many of the newly arrived viewers visit the fan curve. One of the first new fan clubs were the Salzburg Patriots, who continued to cling to the old club culture, but initially came to terms with the new leadership until they lost their status as an official fan club in December 2010 and the club distanced itself from them. The reason given for this was damage to property and attacks on other fan clubs, stewards and its own players. The fan club disintegrated and finally disbanded in autumn 2012. After further fan groups were formed, there were 55 official Red Bull Salzburg fan clubs by May 2013. The currently largest groups are Collectivo, Fire Bulls Voggenberg, Raging Bulls, Rot Weiss Salzburg Alert, Red Fighters and Soizburg Rabauken. A fan advisory board has also existed since summer 2014, made up of a total of seven representatives from the south, east and west stands. However, the fan advisory board was questioned at a meeting of chairmen in late summer 2016. Then the majority of those present dissolved it.

At the beginning of the 2014/15 season, the south curve was dissolved and the north sector was set as the fan curve. During the games against Amsterdam and Basel, security deficiencies became apparent, which made the relocation necessary. By achieving the tenth championship title in the 2015/16 season, the fan scene hoped that the club would honor this with the champions star. The club refused the star, however, and there were disagreements. In the game against Grödig and the WAC, a boycott of public opinion was declared. The star was nevertheless included in the logo after the 2018/19 season, in which the club won its tenth title under its current name.
