As a player

Club career

Édouard Stachowitz, whose father was Polish and whose mother was German, belonged to the generation of French footballers whose parents of Polish descent , mostly from the Ruhr area , immigrated to the northern French coal mining region after the First World War , such as Guillaume Bieganski , Raymond Kopa , Maryan Wisnieski , Simon Zimny , Robert Budzynski or Léon Glovacki . "Stako" played as a teenager at SC Aniche, an amateur club from the neighborhood of his birthplace, located between Denain and Douai . With this team he won the Coupe du Nord in 1951 as a 17-year-old after a 9-1 final win over the US Nœux-les-Mines .

In 1953, the second division US Valenciennes-Anzin signed the physically rather delicate talent who acted as a left runner or half- left . In professional football, he developed into a very team-friendly player who, due to his tactical understanding, was able to determine the game by regularly covering large distances. In 1956, his team finished third in the table and met in the barrages on the class higher OSC Lille , which had dominated French football in the past decade. Stako led his team as captain in a hard-fought duel (1: 0, 1: 2) to a playoff that the outsider won 4: 0; US Valenciennes then took Lilles place as the "flagship" of the North in the top division . In the following three years the USVA never played for the championship , but was always a safe distance from the relegation ranks in the final tables . In early 1959, Édouard Stachowitz was also appointed to the national team for the first time.

That year Valenciennes sold him to a league competitor, the capital club Stade Français , to which Stako remained loyal for the next eight years. Although his team had a number of illustrious names ( André Lerond , Raymond Bellot , Norbert Eschmann , Antoine Bonifaci , Philippe Gondet , Georges Carnus or Charly Loubet ), there was also no championship title to be won there. The best position reached Stade Français in the 1961/62 season with 10th place; then the team was table 15 four times in a row. and only reached the semi-finals once in the cup ( 1965 ). Two years later, the team finished the season in 20th and last place; the club's presidium decided to give up professional status and only play in the amateur field. That was the time for Édouard Stachowitz to end his playing career.

In the national team

After Stako had been appointed to a total of ten games in the French youth, military and B national teams, he also played three A-internationals between March 1959 and May 1964 , in which he scored a goal. He succeeded in October 1962 in a 2-2 draw in the Neckar Stadium against Germany with the goal for the interim 1-0 lead. He didn't make it to become a regular player, but "he was reliably there when he was called".

The time as a trainer

From 1967 to 1975, Édouard Stachowitz coached the amateur league club OC Châteaudun, albeit with an interruption between 1971 and 1973. He then worked in the same role at FC Orléans and then coached the youth teams of the US Orléans , from which several players emerged with the in the Division 2 league eleven in 1980 advanced to the national cup final. He later moved back to the greater Paris area, where he died of heart failure at the age of 74 in 2008.
