Career

His playing career began at SC Wacker Wien , where he played for two seasons (1969/70, 1970/71). When the club merged with Admira , "Dok" played for FC Admira / Wacker for two years . After a one-year commitment at 1. Simmeringer SC , Dokupil moved to Rapid in 1974 , where he completed 53 Bundesliga games and scored nine goals.

In 1976 Ernst Dokupil returned to Simmering in the 2nd league, where he was still active as a player for two seasons before he was appointed coach there in 1978. After three years of coaching, he managed to get promoted to the Bundesliga with the Simmeringers, after which he was signed up again by FC Admira / Wacker - this time as a coach. In 1986 he came to Vienna . There he formed a two-time UEFA Cup participant from a second division team in two years . Before taking the Rapid Vienna coaching chair, Dokupil worked for VSE St. Pölten for another month .

In 1994 Dokupil replaced Hubert Baumgartner as a rapid trainer. In his very first season he won the Austrian Cup with the Green-Whites and only one year later he reached his peak as a coach by becoming Rapid Champion in 1995/96 and the Cup winner in the European Cup final . 1997/98 replaced Heribert Weber Dokupil as coach, after which he took over the post of Rapid Sports Director. After Weber's expulsion in 2000, Dokupil returned briefly to the coaching bench, but was dismissed as a result of not achieving the championship title in 2001, after a 2-1 loss in the 226th derby against FK Austria Wien .

In the winter of 2001, Ernst Dokupil suffered a heart attack, from which he recovered completely. In May 2004, Dokupil was, alongside Bernd Krauss and Marinko Koljanin, one of the most promising candidates for the coaching position at Bundesliga club Herold Admira - but Krauss was the successor of the ex-coaching duo Raschid Rachimow / Alfred Tatar .
