Christian Schandl (born March 29, 1978 in Vienna ) is a former Austrian football player .

Club career

Schandl began his career in the youth team of FK Austria Wien, where he was brought into the professional squad for the first time after his participation in the U-16 European Football Championship in 1994 and was used in a friendly against SV Wiener Neudorf . From 1995 it was awarded by the satellite club Prater SV , which at that time represented the amateur team of Austria under the name Prater Memphis . There he established himself alongside the later Austrian national players Muhammet Akagündüz , Yüksel Sariyar and Bozo Kovacevic in adult football , winning the Vienna TOTO Cup in 1996 and the championship title in the Vienna City League in the 1997/98 season.

Having had pulled up despite a good strike rate in the City League since 1994 only for friendly matches in the senior squad him Austria and the breakthrough at the Austrian him Bundesliga was denied, he joined in the summer of 1998, together with his team-mate Markus Holemar in the Scottish Premier League to Heart of Midlothian .

At Hearts , he was given a half-year contract and accepted into the professional squad. To get used to the league, he was used in the Scottish Reserve League until winter, but where he could not convince.

After a move to the then German regional team 1. FC Saarbrücken failed, he joined the then Austrian third division SC Untersiebenbrunn for the second half of the 1998/99 season . At the Marchfeldern he immediately received a regular place under coach Norbert Barisits and contributed 4 goals to winning the championship title in the Regionalliga-Ost . In the following promotion relegation games against SV Spittal , which the club won 1: 1 and 0: 0, he scored the decisive goal, which made him a hero of promotion.

In the first half of the 1999/00 season , Schandl developed into the club's most dangerous striker with 5 goals before he was sold to the Turkish first division club Gençlerbirliği Ankara in November . The capital club, where Yüksel Sariyar , a former teammate from Austria times, was already in the squad, had discovered Schandl in a game against VfB Admira Wacker Mödling when they were actually watching the Turkish striker Muhammet Akagündüz .

Just a week after his engagement, he celebrated his debut for the new club in the 1-2 defeat in the city derby against MKE Ankaragücü , where he also scored his first goal. In the course of the second half of the season, however, he had to struggle with several small injuries and acute homesickness which meant he did not get beyond the status of a supplementary player. By the end of the season he made 13 league appearances with 2 goals as a substitute, before moving back to Untersiebenbrunn at his own request.

Back home he was able to seamlessly follow up on the previously shown performances. In the team, organized by Markus Aigner as playmaker, he was able to score 13 goals as a striker and, with third place in the table, took the best place in the club's history. Through the cooperation with FK Austria Wien from the 2001/02 season , the club developed into a kind of satellite club of the Favoritner, which brought talents such as Paul Scharner , Gerald Krajic , Robert Almer or Bozo Kovacevic to the club, the rise with two 4th places but was still denied. Schandl remained as one of the few constants in the squad until he lost his status as an undisputed regular player after a coach change to Helmut Kraft in the second half of the 2002/03 season and for the first time came to fewer times. As a force in the summer crossing time of the 2003/04 season with Armin Hobel could oblige the incumbent top scorer in the second division and its stated desire player Schandl threatened finally a fate as back-up, and he forced his departure.

After a change to the 2nd German Bundesliga at Hannover 96 in the summer of 2001, following an agreement that had already been made orally, only failed due to the dismissal of the then coach Horst Ehrmantraut , Schandl now surprisingly switched to Regionalliga-Ost promoted SC-ESV Parndorf .

The striker, who was brought in as the “king transfer” , immediately became a top performer and contributed 14 goals this season to the championship title in the club's debut season with a 7-point lead . However , the club missed the march into the second-class first division due to the away goals rule after a 0-0 and 1-1 in the relegation games against FC Gratkorn .

In the following season he failed with the club despite well-known newcomers such as the Yugoslav ex-international Nenad Grozdić or László Klausz with 4 points behind as runner-up behind the Austria Amateurs . Schandl was able to confirm his performance with 13 goals this season. In the winter transition period of the 2005/06 season he surprisingly left the Burgenland, which was once again on the rise, as a regular player and moved to the 1st Lower Austria. Regional league for SK Schwadorf .

In Lower Austria , he met with coach Attila Sekerlioglu on an old club colleague from Austria and Untersiebenbrunn times, who, thanks to the sponsorship of Richard Trenkwalder, already had a squad with ex-Bundesliga professionals such as Patrick Wunderbaldinger , Oliver Lederer or Thomas Zingler . In the second half of the season, the club dominated the league and celebrated the undisputed national league championship title with a margin of 17. Although only signed in winter, Schandl crowned himself the club's top scorer with 12 goals in just as many second round appearances.

For the regional league, the squad was significantly strengthened with other renowned ex-professionals, such as Michael Wagner or Alexander Jank , in order to achieve the immediate march into the first league . When the goal at the winter break with table rank 4 was clearly endangered, there was another transfer offensive, in the course of which a total of 11 players were committed. In addition, Trenkwalder got in at the bottom of the table, SC Eisenstadt , which were about to cease playing without financial support. Trenkwalder took over all current debts and at the same time loaned a total of 8 Schwadorf players, including Volkan Kahraman and Schandl to Eisenstadt. Schwadorf had already brought in three more center forwards with Daniel Kastner , Hannes Toth and the Slovak ex-national player Martin Fabuš , which made Schandl, the most dangerous offensive player at the time with 8 goals from 13 games, dispensable. In addition, Trenkwalder openly pursued the goal of weakening a competitor in the promotion campaign by strengthening Eisenstadt's squad for a short time, which earned him the accusation of distorting competition.

Eisenstadt actually played a furious second half of the season in which they only lost two games, including against Schwadorf, and worked their way up from 16th to 11th place in the table. Schandl was next to Kahraman, Petr Machan and the Liechtenstein Marco Pérez, who was also signed in the winter, one of the great pillars of the team, scored 9 goals in 13 games and finished second on the scorers list behind Eldar Topić with a total of 18 goals . After Schwadorf made the rise, Trenkwalder ended the support for Eisenstadt again, whereupon Schandl moved within the league to the traditional club Wiener Sportklub .

With the Dornbachers , he was supposed to compensate for the departure of Osman Bozkurt , who moved to Vienna after 15 goals this season within the league , as the preferred player of the then coach Peter Schöttel . However, he only partially succeeded in this. Although he was again the undisputed regular player for the entire season, he had to struggle with several injuries and at the end of the season could only contribute 5 goals of the season to fourth place in the table. After the departure of President Helmut Dvoracek and coach Schöttel before the 2008/09 season , there was a total upheaval of the team, which resulted in the departure of almost all veterans such as Andreas Lipa , Alfred Niefergall , Jürgen Leitner or Markus Endress . Schandl stayed with the club as the oldest player in the squad. After not counting the club as one of the league's favorites due to the many departures, they held out for a surprisingly long time in the promotion battle and ended up again in 4th place in the table. In addition, they played very successfully at the Vienna Stadthallenturnier , in the course of which the club was able to reach the final after a 7-2 success in the semifinals against SK Rapid Wien , where they went down 8-1 against First Vienna FC . Schandl was used in all matches and scored two goals. Off the hall he played a solid season with a total of 8 goals, but was seriously injured in the game against the SK Rapid Amateurs and was only able to celebrate his comeback in September of the following season. All in all, he played three more times for the sports club in the second half of the 2009/10 season before the new WSK coach Hans Kleer told him not to plan with him anymore. Then he ended his playing career at the age of 31.

National team

Schandl played as a national player for Austria up to U-18 in all age groups.

He was able to celebrate his greatest success on an international level as a member of the Austrian U-16 national team at the European Championships in 1994 , where he took 4th place alongside Gernot Plassnegger and Sanel Kuljić . Schandl was used in all 6 European championship games.
