As a result on April 6, 1990, Toni Polster was appointed as Austria captain following the discarding of Heribert Weber.
-On September 16, 1990, Austrian manager Josef Hickersberger announced his resignation as Austria manager.
This was following a poor World Cup, but most specifically a humiliating loss to the Faroe Islands on September 12, 1990 for the UEFA European Championship qualifiers.
