Ex-F1 ace’s son moves to Holland as a goalkeeper
Sometimes the apple falls very far from the tree - instead of following in his father's footsteps and becoming a racing driver, he has lost his heart to soccer and is now flying Austria's colors high as a legionnaire in the Netherlands! He is Jonas Wendlinger, the 23-year-old son of Karl Wendlinger, who was active in Formula 1 between 1991 and 1995. Wendlinger, who most recently stood between the posts as goalkeeper for Ried, is moving to Almere in the Ehrendivision, the top flight of Oranje soccer ...
Curiously, Jonas Wendlinger is replacing another red-white-red goalkeeper at Almere, who were promoted to the top flight this year: Samuel Sahin-Radlinger. The Upper Austrian returns "home" to Vienna Austria after a season on loan - and was not uninvolved in his compatriot's move to the Netherlands ...
Sahin-Radlinger with "a big part in the realization of the transfer"
"I played with Samuel at SV Ried in Austria for several seasons and he told me great stories about Almere City. Through him, I got talking to goalkeeping coach Agil Etemadi and technical manager Johan Hansma - and the feeling was immediately very good," said Wendlinger.
Hansma confirmed the role of Sahin-Radlinger, who "played a big part in making this transfer happen, both for the club and for the player". The free agent Wendlinger has now signed a two-year contract, with an option for a third year at Almere City.
