Euro 2008 Austria Team Guide

Welcome to the euro2008betting.com Austria Team Guide for Euro 2008. Here we preview the chances of Austria for Euro 2008 plus take a look back at their Euro 2008 qualifiying performance and previous appearances at the European Championships.

Coach: Josef Hickersberger

Austria euro 2008 guide Josef Hickersberger is a former professional football player and former coach of the Austrian side Rapid Vienna. Since January 2006 he has been in charge of the Austrian national team who will co-host Euro 2008 with Switzerland.

Euro 2008 Qualifying:

With only friendly games to prepare themselves for co-hosting the finals, Austria have endured some tough times. Charged with the task of building a new Austria side for 2008, coach Josef Hickersberger knew the process was likely to be a painful one, saying: "It goes without saying that this process means facing and overcoming obstacles and setbacks." Hickersberger lost his first three games in charge before a 2-2 draw against Costa Rica in September 2006 helped ease the pressure. He finally earned a first win at the fifth attempt, 2-1 against Liechtenstein thanks to a late Thomas Prager goal, and followed that up with a 2-1 victory against fellow hosts Switzerland. René Aufhauser struck a hat-trick in a 4-1 success against Trinidad & Tobago in October 2006, but it was to be another year – and another ten games – before Austria won again, beating Ivory Coast 3-2 in Innsbruck. Hickersberger continues to blood young talent, and said: "I'm convinced we will see a very different national team at the European Championship. Both Austria and Switzerland will be excellent hosts. They will put on a sensational tournament and I am convinced that both teams will reach the quarter-finals."

Past Euro Performance:

Austria have never qualified for a UEFA European Championship final tournament, and so will be playing in the finals for the first time when they co-host UEFA EURO 2008. They came within one round of the four-team final tournament of the inaugural 1960 competition, but lost 9-4 on aggregate to France in the quarter-finals.
