Admira had a turbulent season which saw them manage to stay up by the skin of the teeth after two managerial changes and spending the majority of their campaign at the bottom of the table.
Reiner Geyer, who delivered survival after taking over midway through the previous season, left early in the campaign, as his position became untenable after collecting only two points from the opening nine games.
His replacement, Klaus Schmidt, brought an improvement in results early in his reign, but Admira's form dropped off a cliff in the late stages of the autumn season and he was ultimately also fired, with Zvonimir Soldo taking over.
Only under the Croatian did the Modlingers start displaying the sort of form required to stay in the division, but their record before he took over was such that they had to keep fearing for their survival until the very last round.
Remarkably, the last game saw them visit Tirol, their direct relegation rivals, and they entered the game knowing that they needed a draw to stay up. They played out a goalless draw and will therefore remain a top flight side next season.
Soldo will be hoping to deliver safety with less hassle next time around, but Admira's financial situation and the club's size are such that they can rarely expect to comfortably stay up.
