Coach Pacult convinced
Super talent now signs for Austria
Austria Klagenfurt have signed Dutchman Denzel Owusu, who has been training with the team in Waidmannsdorf since September 22. The 21-year-old defensive all-rounder, who grew up at Feyenoord, was given a contract for one and a half years plus an option for a further year. Amateur coach Rolf Landerl was involved in the deal.
Welcome! Denzel Owusu has been training with Waidmannsdorf since September 22. The Dutchman first won over the amateurs' coach Rolf Landerl, who helped arrange the deal. Landerl knows his manager, Jose Rodriguez, from his time as a player in Holland. Owusu was then drafted into the squad by coach Peter Pacult and impressed there too - in return, the super talent was given a contract with Violett for one and a half years plus an option for a further season. "I'm really happy to have been given a chance."
Owusu grew up at Feyenoord Rotterdam. He played there from youth to U21 level. At the age of 17, the defensive specialist (who also played for all national teams up to U17!) was called up to the first team. A move to Italian top team AC Milan then fell through in the summer of 2021. Denzel found this difficult to digest. In 2022/23, he even took a break for almost a year and a half.
Already knows Bonnah
But then the hunger returned. "I wanted to give it another go," explained the 1.77m-tall player. He got a taste of soccer again with Sturm Amateuren, Ilirija Ljubljana and now Austria Klagenfurt. Now the happy ending in purple. That's when he met up with his buddy Solomon Bonnah again, whom he knows very well from his time in the Dutch youth team. The defensive all-rounder could be in the squad for the first time after the international break on November 23 at Sturm Graz. "He was really noticeable in training," said sporting director Günther Gorenzel.
