On July 3rd, in the round of 16 of the European Championship, Austria was eliminated after losing 2-1 to Turkey. Rangnick’s arrival failed to propel the team further. Austria has not won a knockout match in a major tournament since 1954, a streak spanning 70 years.
In this edition of the Euros, Austria found itself in Group D, widely regarded as the group of death. Despite the odds, they finished with two wins and one loss, accumulating six points and surprisingly topped the group ahead of football powerhouses France and the Netherlands. However, their journey ended abruptly in the round of 16 with a 1-2 defeat to Turkey.
The last time Austria secured a victory in a major tournament knockout stage was at the 1954 World Cup. In that tournament, they triumphed over Switzerland 7-5 in a thrilling quarterfinal encounter before being convincingly defeated 1-6 by West Germany in the semifinals.
Since then, Austria has not managed to secure a win in any major tournament’s knockout phase. In this year’s Euros, their campaign came to an end with their elimination at the hands of Turkey in the round of 16.
