After 15 years
Tearful farewell to Salzburg icon Ulmer!
After 15 years and 582 games for the Bulls, Red Bull Salzburg officially bid farewell to club icon Andreas Ulmer on Sunday! Before kick-off of the final championship match against LASK, the 38-year-old, whose contract expires in the summer, was released into his still uncertain sporting future to great applause and much emotion in the sold-out Red Bull Arena in Wals-Siezenheim.
The club officials, his current team-mates and two former team-mates, goalgetter Jonatan Soriano and goalkeeper Alexander Walke, stood in the stands before kick-off for the full-back, who ended his subsequent speech in tears.
Ulmer wants to continue his active career
Ulmer had to end the current season prematurely due to injury. The 32-time ÖFB team player is known to want to continue his active career, but has not yet announced a new club.
Ulmer won 13 championship titles with the Bulls and is the record holder in Austria with this number. If you also include the 2005/06 season, in which the Linzer did not play a single minute in Austria Vienna's success, but was called up to the squad eight times, the total is 14.
Ilsanker switches to scouting after 19 years
Austria Vienna legend Robert Sara and Christoph Leitgeb (with RB Salzburg) have won the second most titles with nine each. Striker Sekou Koita, who retired after six-and-a-half years, and goalkeeping coach Herbert Ilsanker, who is moving to scouting after 19 years, also bid farewell.
