Coach: Dietmar Kühbauer

After a playing career in which he appeared in the 1995/96 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final with SK Rapid, Kühbauer has since enjoyed successful managerial stints at the likes of Wolfsberger and SK Rapid. This is his second spell at the helm at LASK, and since returning in October 2025 he has won the Austrian Bundesliga and Austrian Cup along with securing a first-ever Champions League qualification for the club.

Key player: Samuel Adeniran

It was American striker Adeniran’s goals which made all the difference in LASK’s extraordinary play-off comeback against Celtic, with two stunning efforts from outside the box helping seal a 5-1 victory in the second leg to overturn a 3-0 aggregate deficit from the first leg. With ten goals and five assists in the Austrian Bundesliga last season, he also played a huge part in his side’s title-winning campaign.

Big summer signing: Robert Ljubičić

Also a goalscorer in that win over Celtic, Vienna-born midfielder Ljubičić has joined LASK on loan from AEK Athens. He has immediately slotted in after being given the No10 shirt and is expected to play a key role this season.

One to watch: Moses Usor

A left-footed winger, 24-year-old Usor loves causing headaches for defenders with his pace and dynamism on the flank. Capable of cutting inside and getting off a fierce shot, his unpredictability will be a dangerous weapon for his side in this campaign.
