Athletic career

Young players

Until 1980, Neitzel played soccer in Radeberg, Saxony, near Dresden, where he had started organized sports at the age of ten at BSG Robotron , the company sports association of the television equipment factory there. In 1980 the BSG delegated him to the Dresden soccer stronghold Dynamo Dresden. A year later, Neitzel became a student at the Artur Becker children's and youth sports school in Dresden . In 1984 he was accepted as a midfielder in the junior league team of Dynamo Dresden, with which he was GDR champion in 1985 and junior cup winner in 1985 and 1986 .

In 1982 he became a member of a DFV selection team for the first time , for which he played 60 international matches in different age groups until 1987. With the U-18 he took 3rd place in the youth competition of friendship in Bulgaria in 1985 .

With this team, often as a result of the discharged until autumn final U-19 out, which was Libero 1986 in Yugoslavia for a 3: 1-final victory over Italy Junior European Champion . The specialist newspaper fuwo characterized the captain after the tournament as follows: “An exemplary captain. Finally the Libero was directing his defense loudly. ”In 1986 Karsten Neitzel was voted GDR Sportsman of the Year in the team category with the juniors that were victorious in the European championship .

As a nominal junior player, Neitzel played his first game in the GDR league on November 23, 1985 . In the encounter on the 11th match day of the 1985/86 season between FC Carl Zeiss Jena and Dynamo Dresden (2-0) he was used as a midfielder. By the end of the season he reached a total of six league appearances. For the 1986/87 season he was nominated for the first time for the GDR upper division squad as a defender, but only played three times between the 1st and 9th matchday in the upper league. Instead, he played 21 point games for the second team in the second-rate GDR league . In the seasons 1987/88 and 1988/89 Neitzel was a regular player in the 2nd team with 24 and 23 appearances and only played a league match as a substitute for Dynamos First in the second half of the 1988/89 season. So he went into the statistics as a player in the Dresden championship team in 1988/89. In early 1989 Neitzel was included as a second division player in the squad of the GDR youth national team, with which he played seven international matches as a midfielder and defender over the course of the year. At the end of the 1988/89 season, Neitzel left Dynamo Dresden after nine years, where he had completed ten league games without scoring and 68 GDR league games with five goals.

Between Halle and Freiburg

For the 1989/90 season there was a player swap between Dynamo Dresden and league rivals Hallescher FC Chemie, Dresden gave Neitzel against the previous Halle libero Andreas Wagenhaus . Neitzel initially took over the libero position in Halle, but moved to midfield in the winter of 1990. With 23 games he immediately gained a regular place in chemistry. He was able to defend this, mainly playing in midfield, also in 1990/91. With fourth place in the last GDR league season , Halle qualified for the 2nd Bundesliga - and also for the UEFA Cup . In the more than 32 round season 1991/92 Neitzel played 23 point games, alternately playing in defense and midfield, as well as his only use in the European Cup in the 2-1 first round home win against Torpedo Moscow .

The Hallesche FC could not assert themselves in the 2nd Bundesliga and were relegated to the regional league after one season. Neitzel then moved to the 1992/93 season for the second division side Stuttgarter Kickers . There he stayed two seasons and played 79 of the 84 point games as a defender. In 1994 the Kickers were relegated from the 2nd Bundesliga, and Neitzel dared to make the leap to the 1st Bundesliga by moving to SC Freiburg . He was under contract with Freiburg until the summer of 1997, but did not get beyond the role of substitute player. He played only 18 Bundesliga games in the three seasons, including only two matches over the full playing time. After the end of the 1996/97 season, Neitzel ended his career as a competitive athlete.

Immediately after the end of his playing career, Neitzel began to work as a coach of the amateur team at SC Freiburg and was at the same time assistant coach of the professional team under Volker Finke . He held this dual function for ten years (1997 to 2007). Neitzel has been in possession of the DFB football instructor license since 2001. After saying goodbye to Finke in 2007, he was only responsible for the amateur team at his own request until December 2008. In 1998 Neitzel rose with the team directly in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg . In 2001 he won the Association Cup and moved into the first main round of the DFB Cup , in which he and his amateurs had to admit defeat to FC Schalke 04 0-1 . In 2008 he became champion in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg and qualified directly for the newly created three-track regional league.

During this time he was promoted to the Bundesliga twice as an assistant coach (1998 and 2003) and qualified for the UEFA Cup in 2001 after finishing fifth in the Bundesliga . There the SC Freiburg reached the third round and was eliminated against the eventual cup winner Feyenoord Rotterdam .

FC Köln , Karim Matmour at Eintracht Frankfurt , Daniel Caligiuri at SC Freiburg, VfL Wolfsburg and Schalke 04 , Daniel Williams at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim , Daniel Pavlović at Grasshoppers Zurich )

At the beginning of 2009 he went to the Asian Champions League winner of 2007, the Japanese Urawa Red Diamonds, together with Volker Finke and Ibrahim Tanko . There he acted as assistant coach for two seasons. In September 2011 he became assistant coach at VfL Bochum under Andreas Bergmann . In November 2012 he took over the position of head coach at VfL. After unsuccessful sports, he was released from his duties on April 8, 2013.

On June 18, 2013 Holstein Kiel , promoted to the 3rd division, announced the commitment of Neitzel. There he received a two-year contract dated June 30, 2015. In his first season he was able to celebrate relegation with the Kiel team. In his second season in the Schleswig-Holstein state capital, he was even able to lead his team into the relegation games for promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga , but there they lost after a 0-0 in front of a home crowd to TSV 1860 Munich in the second leg in Munich Arena with 1: 2. Holstein Kiel released Karsten Neitzel on August 16, 2016 after only getting four points in the first four matches of the 2016/17 season .

For the 2017/18 season he was the coach of the Elversberg sports association in the Regionalliga Südwest and signed a contract that ran until June 30, 2019.
