Fritz Kerr , also Friedrich Kerr (born April 2, 1892 in Leopoldstadt as: Fritz Kohn ; † October 9, 1974 in Vienna , Austria ), was an Austrian football player and coach .

Player career

As a player, Kerr was active for Vienna AC and Hakoah Vienna . With Hakoah Vienna, he achieved the first victory of a team from Europe in Great Britain in 1923, when Kerr and his team defeated West Ham United 5-0. He also played seven international matches for the Austrian national team from 1916 to 1918 .

Coaching career

He began his coaching career in 1921 at Hakoah Vienna , three years later he worked for Hasmonea Lwów in Lemberg . From 1927 the Austrian trained the team of the Stuttgarter Kickers until he left the club on July 1, 1929 at his own request. After that, a job in the capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires , was planned, but it is unclear whether Kerr actually worked in Argentina. From 1930 to 1932, Kerr was finally active as the national coach of Estonia - with the country he took part in the Baltic Cup in Lithuania in 1930 - before he was then again a coach at the Stuttgart Kickers. However, Kerr, who was of Jewish faith, was replaced in the same season by the former national player Adolf Höschle . The reason for this was a declaration that the South German top clubs signed on April 9, 1933, according to which they committed themselves to the exclusion of Jews and Marxists. He quickly found a new club with the Swiss club FC Aarau . However, he only stayed with Aarau for a short time. In January 1934, Kerr moved to Alsace to Racing Strasbourg and a year and a half later to FC Mulhouse . After these positions he went back to Switzerland and won the Swiss Cup with Lausanne-Sports in 1939 . After this title he moved again to FC Aarau and in 1951 again for one season with the Stuttgarter Kickers . In the following seasons he worked for FC St. Gallen and in 1954/55 for the third time for FC Aarau.
