SK Rapid Wiens’s Journey in the Cup Winners Cup 1995/96

 

When the 1995/96 season kicked off, Austrian side Rapid Wien’s last hour of glory in Europe was the 1985 Cup Winners Cup Final lost to English side Everton.

In the interim, they had won the League title in 1987 and 1988, but then had seen the neighboring FK Austria, Tirol Innsbruck and now Austria Salzburg overtaking them in the League.

They nearly went bankrupt in 1994 and were only saved by Bank Austria.

A new President was elected, Günter Kaltenbrunner, himself a former player of the club in the 60s and an Austrian International.

To mark this new era, the club made a stark change to its kit. The team had been playing with Green/White vertically striped shirts. The new design had the Green/White stripes but now horizontally.

In this year of 1994, a new Manager was also appointed. 47-year-old, former Rapid player from the 70s, Ernst Dokupil. He had an undistinguished career playing for the likes of Wacker Wien, Admira Wacker and Simemringer, along with Rapid in the 1970s.

After his playing career he had started an Insurance Company. He had also managed in the 1980s, Simmeringer, Admira Wacker, First Vienna and St. Polten before getting the Rapid job.

Ernst Dokupil led Rapid to win the Austrian Cup in 1994/95 by defeating DSV Leoben (1-0), to gain them entry in the Cup Winners Cup for the 1995/96 season.

For the new season (1995/96), Rapid would be without veteran defender Robert Pecl, who had retired prematurely due to injury. Marcus Purk also left to join Real Sociedad.

However, the new arrivals would have a significant impact for the season. Bulgarian Center-back Trifon Ivanov arrived from Swiss side Neuchâtel Xamax. The giant German striker Carsten Jancker came on loan from FC Köln. According to the player, his teammate at Köln, the legendary Austrian striker Toni Polster, had recommended him to Dokupil.

Another striker Christian Stumpf was signed from FC Linz. Finally, veteran FK Austria midfielder Peter Stöger arrived after a season at Wacker Innsbruck.

The Team already included the likes of veteran goalkeeper and captain Michael Konsel. The lone remnant of the 1984/85 Cup Winners Cup adventure.

The defense still had Peter Schöttel in the center with Prvoslav Jovanovic, Roman Pivarnik and Michael Hatz.  

The midfielders on the books included Dietmar Kühbauer, Stephan Marasek, Andreas Heraf, Zoran Barisic, Peter Guggi and the Russian Sergei Mandreko.

The frontline was the thinnest position with the Polish Maciej Sliwowski, the most significant striker on the books ahead of the new arrivals.

The Cup Winners Cup adventure began in September with the relatively comfortable elimination of Romanian side Petrolul Ploeisti (3-1 win at home, scoreless tie away).

The Second Round was a much sterner test against Portuguese side Sporting CP. The Portuguese defeated Rapid (2-0) at home. The Return leg in Vienna on November 2nd, would be a classic as Rapid tied the series in the last minute for a (2-0) win. The match had to go into extra time and new signing Christian Stumpf followed his last minute goal with two more goals in extra time for a (4-0) win and advance to the Quarterfinals.

In retrospect, this was the reference match of the season in this memorable Cup Winners Cup season.

The new signings had been effective, in addition the likes of Peter Guggi, Zoran Barisic and Andreas Heraf were taking on a more prominent role in the squad than previous seasons.

In the Spring, for the Quarterfinals in March, Rapid defeated Russian side Dinamo Moscow (1-0) away from home and came away with a (3-0) win in Vienna to advance to the semifinals.

New signing Stumpf scored the winner in Moscow and fellow new signing and strike partner Carsten Jancker scored twice in Vienna.

The semifinals in April were against strong Dutch side of Feyenoord, featuring Ronald Koeman and Swedish striker Henrik Larsson among others.

The first leg at De Kuip ended as a (1-1) tie that favored Rapid. The second leg was another (3-0) home win Jancker scoring twice again with Stumpf chipping in another in a brilliant first half display that yielded all the goals.

Rapid were in the Cup Winners Cup Final after eleven years. They were the underdog against strong French side Paris St. Germain that included Youri Djorkaeff and Brazilian midfielder Rai among others.

Ahead of the Final many praised the unity showed by the squad as the reason for its success. Peter Stöger said he had never seen such unity anywhere.

Michael Konsel underlined the family atmosphere of the Group.

Dokupil was more cautious and felt the team still had a lot to prove. He felt that team was playing above its means, and that he would not be satisfied until the results were not fully based on luck.

At this point, the standard lineup was Konsel in goal, Ivanov and Schöttel made the central defensive partnership, with Hatz and Pivarnik on the flanks.

The midfield consisted of Stöger, Kuhbauer, Heraf and Guggi (or Marasek).

While the frontline was led by the tall duo of Stumpf and Jancker.

The team was built around physical and athletic players complemented by the skills of Stöger and Kuhbauer. Dokupil stated, ‘We can’t play like Ajax, sorry, but it’s not in the culture of my players’.

For the Final in Brussels on May 8th, Paris St. Germain were the stronger side and won (1-0). It was really in the last ten minute when Rapid were livelier as PSG were holding onto their win.

PSG goalkeeper made two fine saves from a flying header by Heraf in the 63rd minute and another header from Ivanov in the last minute. This was the extent of the Rapid challenge.

Rapid’s success was in reaching a Final and a victory against a top side was beyond them.

Rapid’s consolation from this memorable season as in regaining the League title after seven years.

The players who benefitted from this season included the likes of Stumpf, Heraf, Hatz and Marasek. All were capped by Austria, some for the first time, this season.

While German striker Carsten Jancker had a stand-out season.

Unfortunately, Rapid could not build up on this season. This end of the season coincided with the introduction of the Bosman ruling.

Participation wo the Champions League in 1996/97 was not enough to maintain this squad.

Carsten Jancker caught the eyes of Bayern Munich and would play for them for the years to come, while Stefan Marasek joined Freiburg.

Michael Hatz would be signed by Serie A side Reggiana and Konsel would join AS Roma in 1997.

Irrespective of the ruling, perhaps Rapid would not have been able to compete with other Leagues. They would finish second in the League in 1997 and would not win the League title until 2005.

This season was one of those adventures that every now and again some teams were capable of, but it’s nearly impossible in the post-Bosman world.
