Former Arsenal keeper dies after car struck by train
Former Arsenal, Juventus and Liverpool goalkeeper Alex Manninger dies at 48 after his car is hit by a train in Austria, prompting tributes from across football.
gulfnews.comI don’t have current information in my memory for a “latest news” update on Alex Manninger beyond what public outlets reported in 2026.
What I can share based on recent reports:
- Reports indicate that former Arsenal, Juventus, and Liverpool goalkeeper Alex Manninger died in mid-April 2026 following a car-train collision near Salzburg, Austria. These outlets describe tributes from clubs and colleagues in the wake of the tragedy.[2][6][7][9]
- Manninger had previously been in the news for a short-term stint with Liverpool in 2016, and his career encompassed long spells at several top clubs. The 2016 reports highlighted his experience and training with Liverpool as a potential addition at that time.[3][5]
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent confirmations from reliable sources and provide a concise, cited summary. I can also offer a brief timeline of Manninger’s career highlights and the tributes that followed the passings.
