The handball career

As a player

Hans Moser was discovered for handball by the Timisoara water polo trainer Sterbenz. He played at Constructorul with the team two training games against Stiința Timișoara. The trainer of Stiința, Constantin Lache, discovered Moser's talent and in 1951 took him to the student team. This happened a few days before he was supposed to go to a training camp with the Romanian national volleyball team. Just three years later, Moser was appointed to the Romanian national handball team. With Stiința he became national champion in field handball in 1956 . In the 1970s he played for TSV Milbertshofen and made promotion to the first division with the club.

As a player, Moser was playmaker and executor at the same time. His drop throws, which he perfected, were particularly feared.

As a trainer

In 1968 Moser signed a six-month contract as a player-coach for TSV Milbertshofen . After that, however, he did not return to Romania, but stayed in Milbertshofen. His wife and son also stayed in Germany. With him, Milbertshofen rose in 1970 to the handball Bundesliga . In 1972 he moved to VfL Günzburg , who played in the regional league and which he led to the Regional League South in 1974. In 1974 he moved to Augsburg and in 1978 again to Milbertshofen. There he stayed as a coach in the first division until 1980.

Frisch Auf Göppingen was trained by Moser from 1984 to 1986. But the team had to be relegated when it was proven that Jerzy Klempel played as a professional. According to the statutes of the time, this was not permitted. From 1986 to 1988, Moser was a professional trainer for the Swiss team at Emmenbrücke before returning to Göppingen.

In the meantime (2008) he trains a handball team with his son in Brenz an der Brenz , which was promoted to the national league in the 2007/08 season.
