'Until You Play Ogam' – Kenyan Fans Voice Frustration as Wolfsberger AC Struggles Continue Under Ismail Atalan

Wolfsberger AC hoped that the appointment of Ismail Atalan as coach in November 2025 would steady the ship after a period of instability.

However, the initial results have been deeply concerning, plunging the club into a crisis of confidence and threatening their pursuit of a Championship Play-off spot.

In his first two Bundesliga matches at the helm, Ismail Atalan has overseen two demoralising defeats. Wolfsberger AC lost 3-1 to Rheindorf Altach on November 22.

The heavy loss, away to a team sitting in the bottom half of the table, was a major shock. Wolfsberger AC are fresh from a 1-0 loss to SV Ried.

This second loss was equally painful, coming via a decisive 93rd-minute goal. The team had managed to hold out for 90 minutes against a side placed directly behind them in the table, but the dramatic late winner condemned Ismail Atalan to a second straight defeat.

Following their recent losses, Kenyan fans have flooded the Wolfsberger AC comments section, demanding that Harambee Stars forward Ryan Ogam be given a chance to play.

Ryan Ogam is currently suffering from a coaching carousel where no one seems willing to give him a consistent chance.

His recruitment in September 2025 was a high-profile move, but his introduction to the squad was fleeting and inconclusive. Under the previous manager, Ryan Ogam received minimal opportunities, mainly a brief substitute appearance in the Bundesliga and a 46-minute start in a hard-fought Cup victory.

The subsequent appointment of Ismail Atalan on November 12, 2025, represented a reset button for every player, yet for Ryan Ogam, the song remains the same.

The new coach has pointedly snubbed the Harambee Stars striker in the two most crucial league fixtures of his tenure so far.

Commenting on the club’s social media, one fan said: “Until you show us Ogam...You don't know Kenyans.”

Another added: “You will only win with Ogam, otherwise, return him home.”

One fan commented: “Just put Ogam on the field. Kenyans will pray their part for the win.”

“LOVELY. VERY LOVELY!!! Until you play OGAM... Tribulations shall continue,” another fan added.

“May you continue until Ogam plays in Jesus' Name...,” another fan shared.

With Wolfsberger AC dropping to seventh place and clinging to their Championship Play-off aspirations, the team desperately needs new attacking solutions, and Ryan Ogam could be the solution.
