Alex Manninger

Black in the world of football! Alex Manninger has died at the age of 48, after a tragic train accident. The former goalkeeper, also known for his time at Juventus, was hit by a train while in his car, which was dragged for several meters. The fatal accident occurred near Salzburg, Austria. Emergency services arrived almost immediately, but only just confirmed Manninger's death. The incident occurred at around 08:20 in the morning, near the Pabing stop, at an unattended railway crossing.

Manninger was in a Volkswagen car, which was severely damaged. Around 25 passengers on the local train and the driver were unharmed. Rescue teams and volunteer firefighters from Nußdorf arrived at the scene immediately, but there was nothing more that could be done for the former footballer. According to Austrian media, citing police sources, emergency teams pulled him out of the car and immediately gave him first aid. A defibrillator was also used at the scene, but to no avail. The circumstances of the collision are still unclear. Reactions from various football clubs on social media have been immediate. Recently, Manninger gave an interview in which he explained that after retiring in 2017 he had completely left football to return to his previous profession as a carpenter.

Causes unclear, investigation begins

The exact circumstances of the accident are still unclear. For this reason, an expert has been appointed to reconstruct the event. To better understand what happened, electronic data from both Manninger's vehicle and the train will be analyzed. It will also be verified whether the signaling system at the railway crossing functioned properly. Manninger was alone in the vehicle.

According to Austrian media, expert Gerhard Kronreif has been sent to the scene by order of the prosecutor's office. His task will be to accurately reconstruct the sequence of events.

“Thanks to the type of vehicle, it is possible to accurately analyze the electronic data and, consequently, the driver's behavior.” During his career, Manninger has made 33 appearances for the Austrian national team and also participated in the 2008 European Championship.

Manninger's career between Austria, the Premier League and Serie A

The former Austrian goalkeeper began his career at Austria Salzburg in 1997, before moving to Arsenal in the Premier League, where he made 39 appearances. In 2001, he moved to Espanyol and then returned to Italy, wearing the jerseys of Torino, Bologna, Brescia and Siena. In 2005, he returned to Salzburg, while three years later he moved to Udinese, before Juventus brought him to the team. He stayed with the black and whites from 2008 to 2012, then moved to Germany to Augsburg, before moving to Liverpool in 2017, where he ended his career.

Juventus' message

Juventus, through its official channels, has dedicated a message of condolence to Manninger, including the words of Giorgio Chiellini, today the club's director, but once a teammate of the Austrian goalkeeper.

"In an era marked by the monumental presence of Gianluigi Buffon, Manninger has always known how to be ready when called upon, becoming an absolute reference point for the dressing room and a guarantee in goal. Today we say goodbye not only to a great athlete, but to a man of rare values: humility, dedication and extraordinary professionalism. Juventus stands by Alex's family and all his relatives in this moment of deep sorrow."

Chiellini's words: "Today is a very sad day, an exemplary teammate and a man of great values ??leaves us. Ciao Alex, rest in peace. A strong thought for your family."
