Alex Manninger Killed in Rail Crash

The accident occurred at an unguarded crossing on the Salzburg local railway in Nussdorf am Haunsberg.

Manninger, who won the Premier League and FA Cup double with Arsenal in 1998, was remembered for his professionalism and calm demeanor both on and off the pitch.

During his 22-year career, he also played for major European clubs including Juventus, Fiorentina, and Liverpool.

Since retiring in 2017, Manninger had returned to his original trade as a carpenter, a passion he spoke about with pride in his final interviews.
