Franco Foda (born April 23, 1966 in Mainz ) is a German football coach and former player. He has been the coach of the Austrian national team since November 2017 .

Career

player

Franco Foda started playing club football in 1973 at the Weisenau sports association, which is located in the east of his native Mainz, and after six years switched to the third-class 1. FSV Mainz 05 . Two years later, he switched to the youth team of Bundesliga club 1. FC Kaiserslautern .

Franco Foda played a total of 321 Bundesliga games and scored 20 goals. He won the DFB Cup twice : in 1990 with 1. FC Kaiserslautern , in 1993 with Bayer 04 Leverkusen . During the winter break in 1996/97 he left VfB Stuttgart . In the summer of 1997, after a short stay at FC Basel in Switzerland , he moved to Austria to SK Sturm Graz . There he was twice champion and Supercup winner as well as one cup winner and played during the very successful time at SK Sturm in the Champions League , in which he reached the intermediate round of the best 16 teams in the 2000/01 season.

After a total of seven games for the German U21 national team he took in December 1987 on a trip to South America the national A-German part. On this trip, Foda was used twice in the games against Brazil and Argentina . In the 1-1 draw against the Brazilians, the FCK professional came on for Michael Frontzeck in the 82nd minute and in the 0-1 defeat against the Argentinian team he was substituted on for Stefan Reuter 25 minutes before the end .

Trainer

After he had ended his active career as a player, he was hired by SK Sturm Graz as a youth coach. Just one year later, in 2002, he became an assistant coach on the fighting team. After Ivica Osim's resignation , Foda was appointed as the team's new head coach. At the beginning he celebrated some successes with the team (entry into the 3rd UEFA Cup round), but at the end of the year the team only ended up in 6th place, which is why Foda was replaced by Gilbert Gress . He went back to the second rank and worked there very successfully as a trainer for the amateurs of SK Sturm.

On June 1, 2006 he was again appointed head coach of SK Sturm Graz after Michael Petrović had left the club for FC Carinthia . His contract with Graz ran until 2012. On May 16, 2010, the Sturm Graz team, trained by Foda, won the ÖFB Cup with a 1-0 win over Magna Wiener Neustadt. A year later, on May 25, 2011, Foda won the Austrian championship title of the 2010/11 season with Sturm and is thus involved in all three championship titles of the Graz team either as a player or as a coach.

On March 19, 2012, Sturm Graz announced that it would not extend the contract with Foda. This announcement was preceded by several weeks of media disputes between the coach and the club's board. On April 12, 2012, Foda was given early leave.

Before the 2012/13 season Foda was the head coach of the relegated Bundesliga 1. FC Kaiserslautern as the successor to Krassimir Balakow . He signed a two-year contract. The club released Foda on August 29, 2013 from his duties as a coach. At this time the FCK was in fourth place in the second division.

At the end of September 2014 Foda returned to SK Sturm Graz as head coach.

On October 30, 2017, the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB) announced that Foda would succeed Marcel Koller as ÖFB team manager at the beginning of 2018 . Together with him, his two assistant coaches Thomas Kristl and Imre Szabics also moved to the coaching staff of the Austrian national team. SK Sturm Graz had agreed to an early termination of the contract. With the consent of the Graz team, Foda was released from the club from November 6th to 14th, 2017 in order to look after the national team on an interim basis as part of a training course and a test match against Uruguay . His contract with the ÖFB initially ran until December 31, 2019 and was extended with the qualification for the European Championship until the end of the tournament initially planned for summer 2020 .

Private

Foda is the son of a German mother from Mainz and an Italian father from Venice . He had Italian citizenship until he was seven . He is married and has two sons, one of whom, Sandro , played under him in the professional team of SK Sturm Graz and has been involved with SV Wildon in the Styrian regional league since January 2014. His second son Marco has been playing as a defender at SV Pachern in Hart bei Graz since July 2017 .
