After a disappointing performance at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Austria's national football team also suffered a shaky start to their EURO 2020 qualification campaign.
But despite the pressure, German manager Franco Foda guided Austria safely through to this year's tournament, qualifying ahead of North Macedonia.
In Group C, Austria will fancy their chances of finally progressing beyond the first round of the European Championships.
Star striker Marko Arnautović scored six goals in qualifying, and there is plenty of excitement around young midfielder Christoph Baumgartner, who only made his international debut in September 2020.
