Klaus "Auge" Augenthaler (born September 26, 1957 in Fürstenzell ) is a former German soccer coach and soccer player . As a classic libero , Augenthaler celebrated national and international successes: with seven German championships in the Bayern Munich jersey , he held a record for a long time, which was later surpassed by Oliver Kahn , Mehmet Scholl , Bastian Schweinsteiger , Philipp Lahm , Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry . A highlight of his career was the world championship title with the German national soccer team in 1990. Today he works as an expert for FC Bayern-TV and as a youth coach in the club's “international program”.

Career as a player

societies

Augenthaler joined the youth department of FC Bayern Munich in 1975 from his home and youth club FC Vilshofen . He was active there for a year until Gyula Lóránt integrated him into the professional team of Bayern Munich as a pre-stopper and later as a sweeper . While he did not play in the Bundesliga in the 1976/77 season , he won the national cup of amateurs with the selection of the regional association of Bavaria with a 4-2 victory over the selection of the regional association of Southwest .

On October 12, 1977 Augenthaler played his first Bundesliga game. In the 20th minute he also scored his first goal with the 1-0 lead in the 3-0 home win against Borussia Dortmund . This game was followed by 403 more Bundesliga appearances and at least one goal from him in every season up to 1990/91 . He also played 50 times (8 goals) in the DFB Cup and 89 times (14 goals) in the European Cup. After completing his Bundesliga career, Augenthaler played sporadically for the amateurs of FC Bayern in the upper and regional leagues until 1996 .

The time when Augenthaler played for FC Bayern Munich was crowned with numerous successes. Augenthaler won seven German championships with the club, was captain of the team for a long time and was considered one of the best liberos in Germany. "Eye", as his common nickname, was known for long passes and a successful free-kick taker. He scored a special goal in 1989 when he overcame the opposing goalkeeper Uli Stein in a game against Eintracht Frankfurt with a 50-meter long shot from the center circle. This gate was voted the Gate of the Decade of the 80s.

Augenthaler played his last game in the Bundesliga on June 15, 1991, the last matchday of the 1990/91 season , in a 2-2 draw against Bayer 05 Uerdingen ; Augenthaler was replaced in the 66th minute for Manfred Bender . As a player and long-time captain (1984 to 1991) Augenthaler had a successful era at Bayern Munich. But he was denied winning the European Cup : Bayern Munich lost the final against Aston Villa in 1982 . In the 1987 final, in the 1: 2 defeat by FC Porto , he was absent due to a red card received in the semi-final against Real Madrid. In his last European Cup game , the lost semi-final against Red Star Belgrade , he accidentally steered a ball he had blocked into the net in stoppage time against his own goalkeeper Raimond Aumann .

Style of play

Both in the national team and in the club teams, Augenthaler often played in the libero position, was responsible for organizing the defense and usually took the free kicks. His special trademark was his unusually hard shot.

National team

Augenthaler wore the national jersey for the first time in the DFB youth team , for which he appeared eleven times and scored three goals. He made his debut on October 15, 1975 in Trelleborg in a 1-1 draw against Sweden. It followed ten missions in a row, where he scored his first of three goals in his fifth, on March 3, 1976 in Dushanbe in the 2-0 victory over Hungary . His last use for this selection he played on June 1, 1976 in the Hungarian Balatonfűzfő in the 3-2 victory over the selection of Czechoslovakia.

Augenthaler played eight times for the B national team ; for the first time on September 11, 1979 in Kaiserslautern, when he came on as a substitute for Ditmar Jakobs in the 2-1 victory over Romania. Already in his second game on October 16 in Koblenz, in a 9-0 victory over Luxembourg's senior team , he scored his only goal.

For the senior national team he played 27 times, for the first time on October 5, 1983 in the qualifying game for the 1984 European Championship in a 3-0 victory over Austria in Gelsenkirchen . Augenthaler took part in two world championships and was world champion in his last international match on July 8, 1990 in Rome. For this he received - like the entire world championship eleven - the silver bay leaf .

Career as a coach

FC Bayern Munich

Immediately after the end of his professional career, Augenthaler took over the A youth team at Bayern Munich. From 1992 to 1997 he was the assistant coach of the professional team and from mid-May 1996 until the end of the season - due to Franz Beckenbauer's short-term substitution  - he was head coach.

He is the only coach in the history of the Bundesliga who accidentally made four substitutions in a game. In Bayern's last game of the season against Fortuna Düsseldorf , Augenthaler brought on three new field players at break, plus goalkeeper Michael Probst for Oliver Kahn . Referee Lutz Wagner did not notice this rule violation. The game ended 2: 2, although Düsseldorf did not object to the valuation of the game in view of its insignificance for both teams.

Until 1996 he played with the amateurs of FC Bayern in parallel to his coaching activities.

Grazer AK and 1. FC Nürnberg

In Austria , Augenthaler was the head coach of the Bundesliga club Grazer AK until March 2000 , before he took on the role of coach at 1. FC Nürnberg and in 2001 was promoted to the Bundesliga with the “Club” . On April 30, 2003, he was given a leave of absence from the heavily relegated franc shortly before the end of the season.

Bayer Leverkusen and VfL Wolfsburg

After being sacked by Nuremberg, Augenthaler was earmarked for reconstruction in the coming season at Bayer 04 Leverkusen , the 2002 Champions League finalist, who was in acute danger of relegation this season. After an early resignation of his predecessor Thomas Hörster had been rejected in mid-April, Augenthaler was already head coach at the "Werksclub" on May 13, 2003 due to the hopelessness expressed by Hörster and achieved relegation in the last two games with 15th place in the table. In the 2003/04 season he was third in the championship with his club and qualified for participation in the Champions League. In the preliminary round, the club won 3-0 against Real Madrid and was eliminated in the round of 16 after two defeats against Liverpool. Augenthaler was released on September 16, 2005 in Leverkusen.

Holger Fach's successor as coach at VfL Wolfsburg on December 29, 2005 after a three-month break ended on May 19, 2007 by mutual agreement. Before that, on May 10, 2007, before the 33rd Bundesliga match against Alemannia Aachen , Klaus Augenthaler, threatened with relegation with VfL Wolfsburg, gave a 42-second press conference at which he asked and answered four questions himself.

SpVgg Unterhaching

On March 23, 2010 Augenthaler took over the training at the relegation-threatened third division club SpVgg Unterhaching . He replaced the interim trainer Matthias Lust , who had previously taken over the training as the successor to Ralph Hasenhüttl ; Hasenhüttl was on leave on February 22, 2010. Augenthaler and his team managed to stay up on matchday 36, with a 1-0 home win against Wuppertaler SV . His contract was not renewed at the end of the 2010/11 season.

SV Donaustauf

On February 18, 2016 it was announced that Klaus Augenthaler would train for the national division SV Donaustauf from summer 2016 . The contact came about through a former youth player who lives near Augenthaler, as he announced at a press conference. Augenthaler led Donaustauf back to the top of the table, the club finished the 2016/2017 season in second place in the table. He then resigned from his position after a year. As an explanation, he explained that he was too busy with his time as a TV expert for FC Bayern due to his work as a TV expert.

Return to FC Bayern

In July 2017, Augenthaler returned to FC Bayern, where he received a three-year contract as a junior coach in the “international program”.
