Josef "Pepi" Schneider (* 1901 ; † unknown) was an Austrian soccer player and soccer coach .

Career

In his youth, Pepi Schneider went through a number of Viennese football clubs, namely the Wiener AF , SC Movement XX , SC Donaustadt , Wiener Amateur SV and Typographia . After he scored his first championship goals in 1919 for the WAF, he had his breakthrough at Vienna in 1921 , for which he scored seven goals in the fall season. He finally came to Vienna AC via FC Ostmark in 1923 , where he stayed with a club for more than a season for the first time.

At that time, the Prater team was relegated to the second class and fought a duel for promotion with Floridsdorfer AC for the entire season , which Schneider's team ultimately won by just one point. In the following three seasons, the red-blacks, where Schneider was used as both right and left runner, were able to assert themselves in the first class, which has now been converted to professional operation.

After Schneider was first used in the Viennese city selection in 1924, his first call-up to the Austrian national football team took place in July 1925 , where he made his debut in a 4-2 win against Sweden as part of a Scandinavian tour . In the next two years he was a member of the national team and played a total of ten internationals.

In 1927 he left the WAC and made an unusual decision for the time, by moving to the Hungarian league for MTK Hungária Budapest . There he played in a team with Ferenc Hirzer , Kálmán Konrád and Gyula Mándi and, after finishing second in the 1927/28 season, won the Hungarian championship title the next year.

In the summer of 1929 Schneider accepted an engagement in the American Soccer League and signed with Brooklyn Hakoah , where he played with József Eisenhoffer and Heinrich Schönfeld . The Soccer War ended in October of this year , the ASL merged with the Eastern Soccer League and the current championships of the two leagues were interrupted. Schneider joined the Brooklyn Wanderers with Eisenhoffer , where he worked until 1931.

After returning to Europe, he first played for the Grasshopper Club Zurich , where he won a cup title under the direction of Izidor Kürschner and was once again in the final of the championship or cup. In 1933 he moved to the French Division 1 at the Stade Rennais Université Club . Schneider stayed with the Bretons until 1936, where he a. a. played alongside the German goal scorers Walter Wollweiler and Walter Kaiser and Brigittenauer Franz Pleyer . In the championship , Rennes finished sixth as the best result in 1933/34, and in the same year his team reached the quarter-finals in the national cup . The following year, the club even made it to the cup final, which was lost 3-0 - without the missing Schneider and Kaiser, Rennes had no chance against Olympique Marseille . In 1936 "Pepi" moved to the second division Le Havre AC and in the following year also for one season in southern France to Olympique Alésien .

After his work in France he returned to Austria and took over the coaching position at FK Austria Wien for the 1939/40 season.
