Wolfsberger AC Wolfsberger AC , commonly referred to as Wolfsberg or simply WAC , is an Austrian association football club from Wolfsberg , Carinthia , who currently play in the Austrian Bundesliga . Between the 2007–08 and 2011–12 seasons , Wolfsberger AC entered a cooperation with SK St . Andrä , competing under the name WAC/St . Andrä during that period . The team is currently called RZ Pellets WAC for sponsorship reasons . After having played the majority of its existence in the lower leagues , Wolfsberger AC finished their 2011–12 season as champions of the 2011–12 Austrian Football First League ( now known as the Second League , or 2 . Liga ) and earned promotion to the Austrian Bundesliga for the first time in the clubs history , in which they finished fifth at the end of the 2012–13 Austrian Football Bundesliga . Wolfsberg finished third in the 2018–19 Austrian Football Bundesliga which qualified them for the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League group stage . They finished in fourth place in Group J of the UEFA Europa League in the 2019–20 season . History . Wolfsberger AC was founded by Adolf Ptazcowsky , Karl Weber , Hermann Maierhofer , Franz Hafner and Michael Schlacher in 1931 . After spending the first thirty-seven years of its existence on lower tiers of the Austrian league pyramid , the club eventually achieved promotion to the Austrian Regional League , which was on the second tier of the pyramid at that time , in 1968 . WAC stayed at this level , with one exception during the 1977–78 season , for the next seventeen years , establishing themselves as a mid-table side . At the end of the 1984–85 season , Wolfsberger AC eventually dropped back to the third level . The club returned for two further second-level appearances during the 1988–89 and 1990–91 seasons , but was immediately relegated each time . In 1994 , the club was a founding member of the reactivated Regional League as the third tier of the pyramid . After being in the promotion race for the first few years in the new league , strength of the club gradually declined and eventually led to relegation at the end of the 2001–02 season . In 2007 , WAC and neighbours SK St . Andrä decided to enter a cooperation . While both clubs remained as separate entities , they closely worked together on almost all aspects : Central areas of both clubs like administration , management , economy , marketing , gastronomy , as well as the athletic section as the core ( both the senior and junior teams ) will be centrally administered from the newly created offices of WAC/St . Andrä at Wolfsberg . Since SK St . Andrä were playing at the Regional League , the team began at this level , from which it was promoted to the First League in 2010 . At the end of the 2011–12 season , the cooperation secured promotion to the Bundesliga with one round of matches to go . Soon afterwards , the cooperation was dissolved ; Wolfsberger AC thus competed as an independent club on the highest level of Austrian football for the first time in their history . After their first year in the highest class they came in 5th . After the season manager Nenad Bjelica left the club and became manager of FK Austria Wien , the champion of the 2012–13 season . Slobodan Grubor replaced him but after weak performances in the new season he was replaced by Dietmar Kühbauer . The team became known as RZ Pellets WAC from the 2014–15 season , due to sponsorship . Wolfsberger AC qualified to the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League for first time in their history , after finishing third in the 2018–19 Austrian Football Bundesliga . Honours . Domestic . League . - 2 .
