Karl Humenberger (born October 25, 1906 in Vienna , Austria-Hungary , † December 28, 1989 in Vienna, Austria ) was an Austrian football player and football coach .

Player career

Like his older brother, the Austrian national player Ferdinand Humenberger , Karl also began his footballing career at Floridsdorfer AC . There he made his debut in the combat team in the fall of 1926, where he took over the role of center runner after the departure of Leopold Drucker , a position to which he would remain in the further course of his career. The team was able to assert itself regularly in the secured midfield of the table in the following years and in 1928 reached the semifinals of the ÖFB Cup .

In April 1928, Humenberger was used for the first time in the national team, where he stood next to his club colleague Josef Chloupek in the runner row when the Austrians were defeated 0-1 against Czechoslovakia in Vienna. However, this was also his last A international match, but subsequently he was used a few times in the Viennese city selection and in the B national team.

After he switched to local rivals SK Admira Wien in the course of the 1930/31 season , he left Austria at the end of 1931 and joined FC Zurich in Switzerland with Chloupek . After just one season he returned to Admira, with which he was to experience his most successful period. Two championship titles as well as a cup victory could be won in the next few years, internationally the Jedleseer reached the final of the Mitropacup in 1934 , which was lost after a 3-2 home win against FC Bologna by a 1: 5 in Italy.

In 1936, Humenberger decided to move abroad again and accepted an offer from Racing Strasbourg , where the Austrian Josef Blum worked as a trainer. In the two following years, places in the top third of the table in Division 1 could be achieved, in 1937 the Alsatians were even in the French Cup final , where the team, in which Humenberger's compatriot Johann Hoffmann as well as Oskar Rohr and Oscar Heisserer were called up, FC Sochaux-Montbéliard lost 2-1. In 1938 Humenberger moved to AS Saint-Étienne , where he met a fellow countryman with Ignaz Tax and reached an excellent fourth place in the table in his last season in France.

Coaching career

In the post-war years, Humenberger worked as a trainer in Austria, where he was in charge of SV Rapid Lienz from 1946 , after which he held positions as a trainer at SV Hitiag Neuda , SV Innsbruck police , and Newag Eisenstadt and was promoted to the Lower Austrian regional league with SC Ortmann in 1952 . After a stint at the Belgian Royal Olympic Club Charleroi , he accepted an offer from the traditional Dutch club Ajax Amsterdam in 1954 and looked after the team for the next five years, winning the Dutch championship in 1957 .

Humenberger then returned to Austria, where he coached SV Austria Salzburg for one season and was the champion of the Tauern League North with the team before he went abroad again and FC Dordrecht in the 1960/61 season and Royal Antwerp from 1961 to 1964 supervised. After his return to Vienna in 1965 he took over the coaching position at Vienna AC .

Karl Humenberger, a real Floridsdorf child, was associated with football well into old age. His last activity in this regard, on behalf of the Football Association and the Ministry of Education, was to monitor and observe football events on the eight pitches that were built on the floodplain of the Danube (open-door sports fields). On December 28, 1989, Karl Humenberger died of heart failure after a short stay in a Viennese hospital.

In 2007, Karl-Humenberger-Gasse in Vienna- Floridsdorf (21st district) was named after him.
