Blau-Weiss Linz has to bid farewell to the Bundesliga after three seasons. The 0-3 defeat to GAK 1902 on Saturday sealed their relegation.

What happened?

The Blues and Whites had fought their way back into the league with a lot of energy in recent months, but in the last game against GAK 1902, they did not show their best performance.

How do the officials react?

Michael Köllner, coach of Blau-Weiss Linz, commented on the relegation: „We have invested incredibly much since I've been here. From that point on, it's incredibly sad when you've invested so much.“ Christoph Schösswendter, sports director of Blau-Weiss Linz, added: „It's currently very difficult. Great emptiness and simply a very humble feeling, that's why it's not so easy right now.“

What's next?

Blau-Weiss Linz now has to prepare for the 2nd league. Christoph Peschek, managing director of Blau-Weiss Linz, said: „It's naturally very painful, but we have to focus on the future now.“ | Season | League | Position | | --- | --- | --- | | 2022/23 | Bundesliga | 12th | | 2021/22 | Bundesliga | 6th | | 2020/21 | 2nd League | 1st |
