Austria Klagenfurt loses a key defensive talent to Wolfsberger AC. The 19-year-old defender Matteo Kitz moves to Vienna and signs a contract until 2028. Kitz already gained experience in the Bundesliga relegation season 2024/25 in the Violetten's squad. Last season, he played 16 times in the ADMIRAL 2. Liga and scored one goal. The Carinthian also played for Austria's U18 and U19 national teams. The Wolfsberger AC signs Kitz as a replacement for the departed Dominik Baumgartner and the homegrown player Tobias Gruber. The reinforcement of the defense is an important step for the WAC to be successful in the next season. Austria Klagenfurt now has to look for a new defender to fill the gap left by Kitz. The transfer of Kitz is an important step in his career and gives him the chance to prove himself in the Bundesliga. However, the future of Austria Klagenfurt remains uncertain, as the loss of Kitz is a significant setback for the club.
