The 2011-12 campaign delivered a historic double for FC Red Bull Salzburg as Die Mozartstädter clinched both the Austrian Bundesliga title and their first-ever Austrian Cup trophy under Dutch coach Ricardo Moniz. This landmark success, their seventh league championship, was spearheaded by the lethal joint top goalscorers, Jakob Jantscher and Stefan Maierhofer, who each netted 14 goals, with Jantscher also earning the league's MVP award. It was a season built on a strong finish and the successful integration of young talents, marking a foundational and defining chapter in the club's modern history.
