Liverpool FC saddened by passing of Alex Manninger

The Austrian arrived at Anfield in July 2016 to spend the final season of his lengthy playing career as a Red.

Brought in as an experienced back-up goalkeeper, he featured in two friendly fixtures and was named in the matchday squad on four occasions during that campaign.

Manninger represented a host of clubs in Europe across two decades – including hometown side Red Bull Salzburg, Arsenal, Fiorentina, Juventus and FC Augsburg.

He earned 33 senior caps for Austria, the first of which came in August 1999.

The thoughts of everyone at LFC are with Alex's family and friends at this difficult time.

RIP Alex Manninger, 1977-2026
