“After moving to us, Robert immediately showed what high quality he had. He is a real mentality and leadership player and enormously important for the team – both on and off the pitch. We are very pleased that we were able to extend three key players in the long term in him, René Renner and Sascha Horvath,” says Radovan Vujanovic about the successful extension of three regular players within one day. The 41-year-old scored a total of nine hat-tricks during his time as a center forward at LASK – he now followed up with the tenth hat-trick as Managing Director Sport.
