Player career
societies
Dynamo Dresden
From the age of six to 19, Zickler worked in the youth department of Dynamo Dresden and at the age of 18 received a licensed player contract with the professionals. On October 23, 1992 (11th match day) he made his Bundesliga debut when he came on in the 68th minute for Ralf Hauptmann in the 1: 2 lost home game against 1. FC Nürnberg . On March 27, 1993 he scored his first two goals; under coach Klaus Sammer was Borussia Dortmund 3: 0 goals defeated. Overall, he scored three times for Dresden in 18 Bundesliga games.
FC Bayern Munich
The 1993/94 season began twelve years in which Zickler was able to achieve numerous successes, but also suffered numerous injuries. On August 7, 1993 (1st matchday) he was in the starting line-up of FC Bayern Munich , who won the home game against SC Freiburg 3-1. He made his competitive debut on August 2, 1993 in a 5-1 away win against the Werder Bremen amateur team in the first round of the DFB Cup . On September 15, 1993, he made his debut at international club level when he was used in the 4-3 win in the away game against FC Twente Enschede in the first round of the UEFA Cup .
On May 26, 1999, he experienced the bitterest moment of his time at Bayern Munich, when Manchester United won the Champions League final 2-1 within 120 seconds with two goals in stoppage time . He scored his most important goal for Bayern on May 12, 2001 (33rd matchday) with the goal of the 2-1 win in the 90th minute in the home game against 1. FC Kaiserslautern . At the same time, VfB Stuttgart won - just seven seconds earlier, Krassimir Balakow scored the 1-0 winning goal for VfB Stuttgart - against FC Schalke 04, so that FC Bayern Munich took first place in the table and did not give it up on the last matchday. A few days later he won the Champions League final with the team , in which he was substituted on in the 100th minute and contributed to the profit with a goal on penalties . In total, he played for Bayern in 63 games in the European Cup.
Zickler's history of health problems began in 2002 when the removal of a tumor on his right shin made him unable to participate in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. A year later he suffered a fatigue fracture on the operated lower leg and a second fracture of the shin just a few days before the start of the 2003/04 season . Shortly before returning to the professional team, he broke his shin for the third time in an amateur team game. At this point, no one believed in a full recovery of the striker.
FC Red Bull Salzburg
From the 2005/06 season Zickler was under contract with the Austrian Bundesliga club FC Red Bull Salzburg .

In the 2007/08 season , Zickler was again top scorer with 16 goals, ahead of Mario Haas (14) and Ivica Vastić (13). In the following season, Zickler was overshadowed by his strike partner Marc Janko , but as team captain he contributed five goals in 24 Bundesliga games to his second championship title in Austria. In the following season, Zickler was only used sporadically and so it happened that his contract in Salzburg was not extended. Nevertheless, he managed the third championship title with the team in 2010 . A few days later, he announced that he would continue his career at LASK in Linz , but agreed with FC Red Bull Salzburg that he could return after his playing career to work in the youth field.
