Career

Hans Dihanich began his career with his hometown club ASKÖ Klingenbach, where he was poached by Wiener Austria in 1978 . In the violets, the defender was often used in midfield and was three times Austrian champion in his first three seasons . Under Karl Stotz he also celebrated a successful debut in the Austrian national team on October 8, 1980 with a 3-1 win over Hungary . Hans Dihanich also played in five of the remaining seven games of the successful World Cup qualification in 1982 . Although he also participated in the victorious World Cup tests against Hungary and Czechoslovakia, he was only a substitute for the finals in Spain.

At Austria, Hans Dihanich under Václav Halama achieved his greatest success at club level in 1983 when he entered the European Cup semi- finals against Real Madrid via Panathinaikos Athens , Galatasaray Istanbul and FC Barcelona ; Problems with the coach led to a one-year interlude at SSW Innsbruck . After his return to Austria, Hans Dihanich celebrated a short-term comeback in the national team in 1984. Ultimately he was able to win two more Austrian championships before moving to the smaller GAK in 1987 .
