Hans Krankl

Johann "Hans" Krankl (born February 14, 1953 in Vienna ) is a former Austrian football player and pop singer . After his playing career, he became a soccer coach , including coaching the Austrian national team from 2002 to 2005. His last stop was the traditional Linz club LASK in the Austrian Bundesliga .

Player career

Krankl made 69 international matches for Austria from 1973 to 1985 , scoring 34 goals. His goal record could only be broken by Toni Polster . He took part in the 1978 and 1982 World Cup with Austria . At the World Cup in Argentina, he was instrumental in the legendary 3-2 victory over Germany with two goals . After the 1982 World Cup, he ended his team career, later he returned twice (1983 and 1985).

Hans Krankl also celebrated numerous successes in club football. He started his career at KSV Straßenbahn Wien . In 1970 he was half a season at SK Rapid Vienna , where he was hardly used, probably due to his youth. After a one-season move to Vienna AC , where he drew attention to himself as a dangerous scorer with 27 goals in 26 games, he returned to Rapid in 1972. He won the Austrian Cup with SK Rapid in 1976 and was king of the league goals three times. In 1978 he won the Golden Shoe as Europe's top scorer with 41 goals this season . After he had shone with strong performances at the Football World Cup in 1978 - among other things, he contributed with two goals to Austria's legendary victory against Germany in Cordoba - he was signed by FC Barcelona . The transfer fee at that time was rumored $ 700,000 (at the exchange rate at that time 10.5 million shillings or 1.5 million DM).

FC Barcelona

Immediately after the transfer (the transfer fee was now quoted at 13 million Schillings = approx. 1.92 million DM ), FC Valencia intervened , speaking of a valid contract with Rapid and announcing submissions to the Spanish association and UEFA. The Viennese replied that this contract (a preliminary contract that expires on July 3rd) was drawn up subject to Krankl's approval. Valencia argued that Barcelona had not obeyed the association's and UEFA's rules and wanted at least a fine against the Catalans for "third party interference".

There was a farewell for Krankl before the Intertoto match between Rapidler and Bohemians Prague (0-0), when he received a figure made of Augarten porcelain. The “Goleador” was also showered with presents from the Mayor of Vienna, Leopold Gratz .

Krankl scored his first goal for FC Barcelona with a header in a training game that Barcelona won 2-0 in Andorra.

There was also a transfer match on August 22, 1978 in Barcelona, ​​which Rapid won 1-0. His departure from Vienna was delayed because of a total move to Barcelona.

In his first season for the Catalans, Krankl was the top scorer in Spain with 29 championship goals . In the same season he was able to win the European Cup Winners' Cup with Barça . In the final in Basel, he contributed a goal to the 4-3 victory against Fortuna Düsseldorf . He was nicknamed "Goleador" by Spanish fans. Krankl returned to Austria for six months at the end of January 1980 and played for the relegation-threatened Vienna (but he could not save the team from going to the second division), then he went back to Barcelona and played for until the end of the 1980 autumn season the Spaniards. Then, after a dispute with coach Joaquim Rifé (because Bernd Schuster had been given preference over him) , Krankl moved back to the Rapid team, who were already trying to get him back in December 1980, but this had failed for the time being due to the financial demands of Barcelona. The transfer fee of 8.5 million Schilling, which Rapid Wien had to raise for him anyway, could only be met by a financial group, additional patrons and also a Rapids campaign with a so-called "Krankl Schilling" per ticket sold. He played again for the Hütteldorfer from the first spring round in 1981 (in the 2-0 win on February 21 in the Weststadion against the Wiener Sportclub), and his first goals came a week later in the home game against SC Eisenstadt.

Again Austrian football league

In the following years he was able to celebrate most of his national successes with Rapid, so in 1982 and 1983 the Austrian championship , 1983 to 1985 three times in a row the cup victory - 1985 also internationally the entry into the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup in Rotterdam in the Rapid Everton lost 3-1 and Krankl scored a goal.

Most recently, Krankl played for two years for the Wiener Sport-Club and in autumn 1988 for 20 rounds at Kremser SC . His contract, which ran until June 1989, was terminated prematurely at the end of September, before he switched to SV Austria Salzburg for the last two autumn matches , as was allowed at the time, where he scored one goal each in the home matches in the 1-0 win on 29. November over FC Kufstein and in the 2-1 victory over SV Spittal on December 3rd - here it was the actual direct duel for fourth place in the basic round of the 2nd division - helped the Salzburgers to rise to the "middle playoff", because that gave both them and Spittal 25 points, but Salzburg had the better goal difference with 40:33 compared to 32:27.

Injuries

After a torn collateral ligament in his left knee, which he suffered in the 3-0 defeat of Rapids at ASK Linz on May 28, 1983, he could no longer help his team in the exciting fight for the title, but it was enough without him. And even without him Rapid succeeded in the 1-0 victory in the European Cup replay against Celtic Glasgow on December 12, 1984 at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester , after playing in the championship game on November 24 at VÖEST Linz (2: 2) suffered a cheekbone fracture in a head collision with defender Georg Zellhofer .

Coaching career

As a coach, Krankl could not begin to build on his success as a player. At Rapid Vienna, he never qualified for an international competition in three seasons. In 1994 he was brought to Tyrol to look after the “Dream Team” there, which had been put together for a lot of money. When the funding collapsed, he too left the club. After stints in the second division, he returned to Salzburg as a coach, where he qualified for the Intertoto competition and brought his team to the final. When the success was not confirmed, he asked to terminate his contract and started his first foreign engagement. He moved to the relegation-threatened club Fortuna Köln in the second German Bundesliga. Fortuna started a race to catch up, but it was not enough for a non-relegation place. In the winter of 2000 Krankl returned to Austria and signed a contract with Admira Wacker, who was far behind on a relegation zone. This time he managed the feat and he and the team reached the safe 9th place. In January 2002 he was finally appointed as the new head of the Austrian national team. Despite criticism of himself for insufficient performance, he is one of the ten most successful national coaches in Austria with an almost balanced record of ten wins, ten draws and eleven defeats. Krankl resigned as national coach in September 2005 when he was told that his contract would not be renewed. Krankl himself had hoped to be able to train the national team at the home European championship in 2008.

The LASK fans regretted that Hans Krankl ended his guest appearance after only 70 days

On March 23, 2009, Krankl was presented as the coach of the Upper Austrian football club LASK . On May 29, 2009 it was announced that he would not extend his contract due to different ideas about the squad planning for the 2009/10 season. Krankl's request to put together a team that could play at the top of the table had to refuse President Peter-Michael Reichel for budgetary reasons.

In addition to his football career, Krankl was also successful in the music business. In 1974 he released his first two singles. These wore the titles Ohne Ball'n and ohne Netz and Vor, vor another goal… Both were rather unsuccessful commercially. Krankl himself described this first foray into the music business as a “musical mortal sin”.

Hans Krankl in portrait

Almost ten years later he brought out the song Rusty Wings with Kottan's Kapelle . To this day, Krankl describes Lukas Resetarits as his musical discoverer.

An album was released for the first time in 1986 under the pseudonym "Johann K.", it was named Des was it all? Shortly before that, the song Lonely Boy (a cover version in the Viennese dialect of Paul Anka 's title of the same name) made it to number 2 on the Austrian hit parade. The debut long player mainly featured Viennese cover versions of well-known songs.

After a long break, Johann K. returned to the charts in 1989 with Der Bätmän bin i . It was to be the last successful song for a long time. In 2002 and 2003 he published the Christmas carols Jingle Bells and Rudi, with which he was able to record surprising success. In addition, the album A scheena Bua was launched.

In 2006 he sang the cover version of Wolfgang Ambros' I bins ned (in turn a cover version of Bob Dylan's It Ain't Me Babe ) for their album with the super band Monti Beton .

On the occasion of the European Football Championship 2008 , Johann K. gave a sold-out concert with Monti Beton as part of the football connection.at campaign. The previous soccer player's last release so far is the best-of CD Wo san nur die Zeiten, which was released in April 2008.
