Walter Kogler (born December 12, 1967 in Wolfsberg ) is an Austrian football coach and former player.

Player career

In the club

Kogler began his career at Wolfsberger AC . His first professional club was SK Sturm Graz , where he stayed until 1992. The next station was FK Austria Wien , where he matured to become a national player. In 1996 he moved to SV Austria Salzburg and became Austrian champion. After the championship season he went to France for a year at AS Cannes in 1998 . When he returned to Austria, LASK Linz signed him. In 1999 he moved to FC Tirol Innsbruck , where he was again Austrian champion. Between 2002 and 2004 he let his career with FC Kärnten come to an end.

He was Austrian champion 5 times (1 × Austria Vienna; 1 × Salzburg; 3 × FC Tirol); 1 × cup winner; 3 × Supercup winners. In his 17 years as a professional he played 495 times in the Austrian Bundesliga.

National team

Kogler made his debut on September 4, 1991 in a friendly against Portugal in Porto , in which he should also score his only international goal with his equalizer to make it 1-1 (70th min.). Overall, he played almost exactly to the day in ten years (between September 5, 2001 in the 2-0 home win against Bosnia-Herzogewina in Vienna's Happel Stadium) 28 times for the Austrian national team . He was also at the 1998 World Cup in France for Austria, but was not used.

Coaching career

After his active career, he took over the sporting management of the youth academy of FC Kärnten , he was a coach at the regional league club SK St. Andrä . From 2006 Kogler was the official EURO ambassador 2008 of the ÖFB for the Klagenfurt location, and he also organizes children's soccer camps.

From December 21, 2007 to May 13, 2008 he was the head coach of DSV Leoben , but moved to league rivals FC Wacker Innsbruck despite the fact that Leoben was not relegated in the first division . With the Innsbruck team, Kogler was two points ahead of FC Admira Wacker Mödling, champion of the second-class Austrian first division in the 2009/10 season and thus rose to the Bundesliga with the team. There it succeeded in the 2010/11 and 2011/12 seasons to keep the club out of the relegation battle. The Innsbruckers took sixth and seventh place respectively. Through these successes, Kogler drew attention and has been associated with the Red Bull Salzburg and Austria Vienna clubs since spring 2012. After a catastrophic start to the 2012/13 season - after eleven match days, Wacker Innsbruck finished last with three points (one win and 10 defeats) - Walter Kogler was dismissed from the club on October 10, 2012.

After Kogler had meanwhile worked as an expert for the pay TV broadcaster Sky , he took over the German third division club FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt for the 2013/14 season . The team landed under him with rank 10 in a good midfield position. After the team had lost four times in a row, Kogler was released on March 23, 2015.

On June 26, 2015 it was announced that the Austrian was ending (or interrupting) his coaching career. He went into the private sector and took over the management of "Merkur Recreation", a subsidiary of "Merkur Versicherung" on July 1, 2015. Kogler is currently back on a regular basis as a Sky expert.
