Jürgen Rische (born October 30, 1970 in Oschatz ) is a former German football player in the area of ​​the GDR Football Association (DFV) and the German Football Association (DFB) . The first division footballer in East and reunified Germany won the German championship with 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 1998 and won the DFB Cup in 1996.

Athletic career

Soccer in Leipzig

Rische started playing football in the children's team of the company sports association (BSG) of the glass silk factory in Oschatz, Saxony. In 1983 he joined the student team at 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig , the soccer focus of the GDR district of Leipzig . Between 1985 and 1989 he was a GDR junior national player; he played 19 U-16, seven U-17 and six U-18 internationals. At the U-18 European Championship in 1988 he was third with his team. In the 1987/88 and 1988/89 seasons, 1. FC Lok had nominated him for his junior league team . With the GDR U-20 he took part in the Junior World Championship in February 1989 , but was only used one half in the three preliminary round matches at the tournament in Saudi Arabia .

As a 17-year-old, Rische made his debut in the GDR Oberliga , the top division of the DFV. On December 5, 1987 he was substituted on in the game of the 12th matchday of the 1986/87 season. For the 1989/90 season he was officially accepted as a striker in the club's league team and played 21 of 26 point games, of which he only played four games in full. He scored four goals.

In 1989 Rische was appointed to the GDR's Olympic soccer team, with which he played seven international matches until the summer of 1990. The last time this newly formed selection played on July 28, 1990 in Milwaukee against the A selection of the USA . Rische scored in the 2-1 win against the World Cup participants from North America. Even before the start of the qualifying games for the 1992 Olympics, which took place in Europe via the U-21 European Championship , the team was withdrawn in the course of German reunification .

Rische made his final breakthrough as a regular player in 1990/91 with 25 league games and as Leipzig's top scorer with eight goals. In the three league seasons after the debut season 1987/88 he was able to increase both the number of missions and the number of goals in each season compared to the previous year.

From the 1991/92 season on, the previous 1. FC Lok played as VfB Leipzig in the 2. Bundesliga and rose to the 1. Bundesliga in 1993 . In the two second division seasons, Rische played 76 of the 78 point games and scored 13 goals. In his debut season in the 1st Bundesliga 1993/94 he was used in all 32 games and scored six goals. However, VfB only stayed in the elite league for a year, so Rische had to play second division football again in 1994/95. He was missing from VfB in only one point game and with 17 goals was not only top scorer in Leipzig, but also in the 2nd Bundesliga. Rische played his last games for VfB Leipzig in the first half of the 1995/96 season. Except for one game, he was in all the league games up to December 1995, and his nine goals remained the season record at VfB.

1. FC Kaiserslautern

After 211 league games with 58 goals in Leipzig, Rische left VfB in the summer of 1995 and joined 1. FC Kaiserslautern , which played in the 1. Bundesliga. There he introduced himself well in his first Bundesliga game on December 9, 1995 with a goal, but remained a substitute player in the further course. In his 17 appearances up to the end of the season, he was only ten times in the starting eleven and was substituted on six times. In the 1996 DFB Cup final, which FCK won 1-0 against Karlsruher SC, he was not substituted on. Then 1. FC Kaiserslautern relegated to the 2. Bundesliga. In the second division season 1996/97 Rische was in 30 of 34 point games, but only 16 of them were over the entire duration of the game. With his twelve goals he was again one of the most dangerous players. After the immediate return to the 1st Bundesliga, Rische played in Kaiserslautern until the end of 1999 . He was involved in winning the championship in 1997/98 with 27 point games and eleven goals. Behind Olaf Marschall (21 goals) he was the second best goalscorer. In 1998/99 he scored three goals in 29 games and four goals in seven Champions League games. After five games as a substitute in the first half of 1999/2000, he moved to VfL Wolfsburg in the winter . From 1996 to 1999, Rische played a total of 108 point games for FCK and scored 27 goals.

Wolfsburg and Braunschweig

From January 2000 to June 2002 Rische was under contract with Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg . In his 47 Bundesliga games, he was in the starting line-up 24 times and played through seven times. 2001/02 he was only used in seven point games. In the first two Wolfsburg seasons he was one of the goalscorers with four and five goals respectively, last season he went empty-handed.

For the 2002/03 season Rische joined the second division club Eintracht Braunschweig , where he had a regular place as a striker from the start. In his first season in Braunschweig, he was only missing two match days and was Eintracht's second-best goalscorer with five goals. At the end of the season, Eintracht was relegated to the Regionalliga and stayed there for two years. During this time, too, Rische was one of the main players in Eintracht. Of the 72 point games of these two seasons, he played 68 games and remained dangerous with his nine or five goals even when he was over thirty. In 2005 Eintracht Braunschweig returned to the 2nd Bundesliga, in which Rische completed his last two seasons in 2005/06 and 2006/07. In 2005/06 he played all championship games again, in 2006/07 as a 36-year-old he was only a substitute player, but still made 25 appearances. When his contract expired in the summer of 2007, Rische had 159 point games with 27 goals for Eintracht Braunschweig.

Further career

After a two-year break, Rische returned to football in the summer of 2009. He accepted the offer from Eintracht Braunschweig to act as assistant coach in support of the head coach Torsten Lieberknecht , who had started a coaching course. From the 2009/10 season to 2017/18 season, Rische took care of the team's fitness and training for the convalescents at Eintracht.
