Career

Hubert Baumgartner began his career at SV Bad St. Leonhard, a club in the Carinthian Lavanttal, from where he joined the first division club Donawitzer SV Alpine in 1973 . A year later he was playing for Austria in Vienna. With the violets he was soon able to break through the supremacy of SSW Innsbruck and in 1976, 1978 and 1979 he was Austrian champion three times in four years. He set himself in the limelight with the club in particular internationally: in 1977/78 he made it into the final of the European Cup of Cup winners, with Hubert Baumgartner becoming a hero as a “penalty killer”. So he not only held two penalties (Hajduk shot another one) in the penalty shootout in the quarter-finals on March 15 against Hajduk Split - after a 1-1 home and now also 1-1 in Split - even during the game he had fended off a penalty kick in the 42nd minute to the corner at 1-0 for the hosts (the Viennese won the series of penalties 3-0). Also in the semi-final against Dynamo Moscow , after a 1: 2 away defeat, in the second leg at the Prater Stadium in Vienna on April 12, there was a penalty shootout, and here too he parried the decisive one - in the last series of shots at 4: 4 Penalty from Aleksandr Bubnov , whereupon Alberto Martínez scored the 5-4. In the final game on May 3, 1978 the but then had to the Parc des Princes (Parc des Princes stadium) in Paris the RSC Anderlecht 0: 4 beaten.
After a negotiation game, Baumgartner, who had demanded a pension, a release guarantee and the payment of the bonuses on a net basis, stayed with the Violets.

The next international highlight followed a year later. In the 1978/79 European Cup , Austria advanced to the semi-finals, where they only narrowly failed to Malmö FF . During his successful time in Austria, Hubert Baumgartner was called up to the squad of the Austrian national team a total of 25 times and also accompanied the team to the 1978 World Cup in Argentina. But in the end he only came to an international match on February 15, 1978 in a 1-1 draw at the Nea Filadelfia Stadium in Athens against Greece . The number one in Austria at the time was Friedl Koncilia (SSW Innsbruck), who also succeeded Baumgartner at Austria in 1979 when he accepted an offer from Recreativo Huelva .

Hubert Baumgartner played for the oldest Spanish football club until 1983 and also met his future wife during his time in Andalusia. He then returned to the Austrian Bundesliga, where he was in goal for FC Admira / Wacker for six more seasons . In 1988 Hubert Baumgartner went to the Lower Austrian competitor VSE St. Pölten , with whom he was promoted from the second division , but then injured himself so badly in a championship game in a collision with Christian Keglevits that he had to end his career.

This was followed by a flying change to the coaching chair at St. Pölten, initially as an assistant coach and from 1990 to 1993 as head coach. Rapid (1993/94), again VSE St. Pölten (1995–1996) and FC Linz (1997) were the other stations. In 2006 he accepted the post as general manager of Admira, but could not achieve relegation with the team and was relegated to the first division , where he was dismissed in March 2007.
