Alois Grussmann (born September 6, 1964 in Opava ) is a former Czech soccer player and current soccer coach .

Club career

Grussmann began playing football on the ash field in Hrabůvka , later he moved to the youth of Baník Ostrava . When he did not get enough match practice in the first team, he was loaned to Ostroj Opava in the 1981/82 season. The next two years he did his military service at VTJ Tábor. In 1984 he returned to Ostrava , although he made his debut in the 1st Czechoslovak League, but mostly only played in the B team. Therefore, the midfielder moved to VP Frýdek-Místek in the 2nd division, where he had a regular place. After one season, Baník Ostrava tried to get Grussmann back, but he signed with city rivals and reigning champions TJ Vítkovice . Grussmann played there regularly, in 1987 the team became Czechoslovak runners-up.

After the Velvet Revolution, Grussmann took the opportunity to move abroad and joined the then second division Betis Sevilla , which was trained by the Slovak Jozef Jarabinský . Grussmann signed a three-year contract, Betis Sevilla aimed for promotion to Primera División , but missed the target. The sponsors turned away from the club, the contract with Grussmann was terminated, the player returned to the Czech Republic and went to Baník Ostrava . However, Betis had not paid the transfer fee to Vítkovice in full, so Grussmann's old club now demanded this part from his new club, Baník Ostrava. When Baník refused to pay, Grussmann had to return to TJ Vítkovice. However, he only stayed there for a short time and moved on to Sigma Olomouc . There he stayed only a few months, from the 1993/94 season he played for Ostroj Opava, which later renamed itself to SFC Opava . In 1995 Opava rose to the first division, in which the club was able to hold out with difficulty until 2000, and Grussmann was one of the team's top performers with his experience. After relegation he played for six months in Austria , in early 2001 he moved to SK Železárny Třinec in the 2nd division, but could not prevent the team from relegating.

National team

Alois Grussmann wore the dress of the Czechoslovak national team a total of six times . He made his debut on April 27, 1988, the ČSSR parted with the USSR 1: 1. He had to wait until 1991 for his next assignment. He played five games that year, scoring his only goal for Czechoslovakia in a 2-0 away win in Sydney against Australia . After 1991 Grussmann was no longer invited.

Coaching career

Grussmann's first coaching station was TJ Nový Jičín in 2001. After a few months he took the opportunity to become head coach of the junior division at NH Ostrava. In 2003 he moved to the fifth division Jakubčovice Fotbal , with whom he rose year after year and in 2006 finally reached the second division. In the winter break of 2006/07, the club decided to sell its professional license to Dukla Prague , the previous coach Duklas, Günter Bittengel took over in Jakubčovice , Grussmann moved within the league to the coaching chair of FC Vítkovice . After four defeats at the beginning of the 2008/09 season, Grussmann was dismissed from FC Vítkovice.
