Karsten Wettberg (born November 10, 1941 in Friesack ) is a German football coach and football official. He was active as a trainer at over 15 clubs and is associated in particular with TSV 1860 Munich . In the early 1990s he led the Munich Lions into the 2nd Bundesliga and was nicknamed “King of Giesing” by the team's supporters. Between March 28, 2007 and May 26, 2008 he was also Vice President of the association.

Career

Born in Brandenburg, Wettberg played his active time as a soccer player in the amateur field. The post office council , based in Elsendorf in Lower Bavaria since 1974, played at FC Mainburg , TSV Elsendorf and SV Saal .

When SV Hall Wettberg began his coaching career. Until 1980 he accompanied the fortunes of the team before he took over the coaching position at the second division relegated MTV Ingolstadt . Under his leadership, the team dominated the Bayern League in the 1980/81 season by six points ahead of the second-placed amateur team of 1. FC Nürnberg , but due to the introduction of the single-track 2. Bundesliga there was no promoted that year. As the Bavarian representative in the amateur championship in 1981 , the team failed in the semifinals at the Hamburg club FC St. Pauli . With two fourth places in the table, the club stayed in the top division in the two following seasons, but had a clear gap on the respective Bavarian champions.

In 1983 Wettberg took over local rivals ESV Ingolstadt-Ringsee , whom he led at the end of his first season as a champion from the fourth-class Bavarian regional league into the Bavarian league . In the 1985/86 season he was in charge of SpVgg Landshut . He led the club to the championship in the Bayernliga, but the club had not applied for a license for the 2nd Bundesliga. He later attributed it to the fact that ice hockey had priority over football in Landshut. Although the club could not build on the success in the following season, the aspiring league competitor SpVgg Unterhaching reached out to Wettberg.

Wettberg also won the Bayern League with SpVgg Unterhaching. With just one win against the Baden representative FV 09 Weinheim and a total of four points, the team failed in the promotion round to the 2nd Bundesliga in 1988 , but after successfully defending their title in the Bayern League, the club moved into the promotion round again the following year. This time the team prevailed with three wins and seven points ahead of SSV Reutlingen 05 and SV Edenkoben , but the second-highest German division was too strong for the Hachinger team: They were relegated directly from bottom of the table.

After relegation, Wettberg moved to TSV 1860 Munich in spring 1990, where he inherited Wilhelm Bierofka twelve game days before the end of the season . Although the team remained undefeated under his leadership until the end of the season, the club missed first place on the last day of the match with a 3-3 draw against competitor 1. FC Schweinfurt 05, who were supervised by Werner Lorant . In the summer of 1991 he finally also managed the championship in the Bayern League and the subsequent promotion to the second division in the promotion round. The following year he was released shortly before the end of the season because the team was on a relegation zone and relegation was threatened with relegation. Three years later he came to FC Augsburg . After two years of engagement, he was coach of SSV Jahn Regensburg for three years , which he led from the regional league to the regional league south . From 2004 to 2006 he trained the team of the Free TuS Regensburg . The contract was terminated early in December 2006. At the beginning of April 2009 Karsten Wettberg was signed by the relegation-threatened Bayern league club SV Seligenporten , with whom he initially stayed in the league and in 2012 was promoted to the Bavarian regional league .

Since the 2013/14 season, Wettberg coached ATSV Kelheim , with whom he was champion of the Landshut district league in his first season. The team then rose again under his leadership. For the 2015/16 season, however, Wettberg moved to his home club FC Mainburg, but the commitment ended again at the end of the season.

In April 2017, SV Donaustauf announced that Karsten Wettberg would succeed Klaus Augenthaler at the beginning of the 2017/2018 season, even before the decisive relegation games for promotion to the Bayern League.

In an interview with Bayerischer Rundfunk on October 27, 2017, Wettberg criticized the increasing commercialization of amateur sports as well, which attracts young players from all over the world. “This is human trafficking. It's the worst thing there is, ”said Wettberg about the phenomenon that players' agents bring young footballers from Brazil, Japan or Eastern Europe to Germany. Not all of them even manage to find a club, but end up on the street.

In addition to his coaching activity, Wettberg runs a football school.
