Philipp Netzer, SCR AltachTeam·SCR Altach's Sports Director, expressed his satisfaction with the acquisition.

"Yanis played a very strong season in Amstetten and showed himself to be one of the best young midfielders in the second league. He fits exactly what we are looking for in terms of both profile and character – a player with quality, ambition, and development potential. We are convinced that he can take the next step in his career with us."— Philipp Netzer

Yanis Eisschill himself conveyed his enthusiasm for the new challenge.

The club aims to build on a stable finish to their previous league campaign, where they concluded the 2025/26 BundesligaCompetition·Bundesliga season with 27 points from 32 matches, placing them in the relegation group. Their recent form in the BundesligaCompetition·Bundesliga relegation round included a 2-0 victory against SV RiedTeam·SV Ried, a 2-2 draw with Grazer AK, and a 1-4 loss to Wolfsberger AC.
