Marc Zellweger (born October 17, 1973 in Winterthur ) is a former Swiss football player .
Career
Marc Zellweger began his football career in the youth team of FC Oberwinterthur before moving to FC Seuzach in the second division . There the striker at the time drew attention to himself with numerous goals until he was finally signed by FC St. Gallen, who played 4 classes higher. He came to his first use at the home game in Espenmoos against Yverdon Sports in the promotion / relegation round 1994/95 . Against FC Solothurn , Marc Zellweger was in the starting line-up for the first time and scored two goals straight away.
Over time, Marc Zellweger switched from attacking to midfield. After an 8-0 defeat against Grasshoppers Zurich in the 1997 finals, coach Roger Hegi Marc Zellweger decided to line up as a defender because of his speed and tackle strength. The next game, also against the GCZ, ended with a successful 2-2. In the 1997/98 season Marc Zellweger won the Swiss indoor championship with FC St. Gallen and reached the cup final against Lausanne-Sports , which was lost on penalties. Two years later, Zelli sensationally won the Swiss championship title with the FCSG. In the decisive game in Lucerne, he contributed a goal to the 2-1 victory.
In the Champions League qualification against Galatasaray Istanbul, Zellweger scored an unfortunate own goal away with a header. In the UEFA Cup against Chelsea FC , he played his part in ensuring that the big favorite was sensationally defeated. In the following season Zellweger again reached the qualification for the UEFA Cup with FC St. Gallen, where he also scored his first and only European Cup goal against SC Freiburg .
After the successful time at FC St. Gallen, after an emotional farewell game in Espenmoos, in which Zellweger threw everything, including his pants, into the audience after the game, he switched to 1. FC Köln. In his first Bundesliga appearance against FC St. Pauli on November 24, 2001, Zellweger scored his only Bundesliga goal. Marc Zellweger scored his second goal for Cologne in the cup against Hertha BSC . After a coach change, Zellweger was no longer the first choice and switched to the newly promoted FC Wil on loan before returning to FC St. Gallen for the following season. In a game against Young Boys Bern , Marc Zellweger went into goal after being sent off against the goalkeeper and promptly saved the penalty. After relegation in 2007, Zellweger, now celebrated as a football god , led FC St. Gallen into the new AFG Arena stadium as captain and immediately returned to the Super League . This was followed by his last season for FC St. Gallen, until his contract was not renewed at the end of the 2009/10 season. As an appreciation of the work he has done for FC St. Gallen and the more than 500 games he played for the club, it was also decided that no. 17 will never be awarded from now on. His jersey was framed and has been hanging over the aspen block fan curve ever since.
Marc Zellweger then wanted to end his career, but the 1st division club Brühl St. Gallen showed an interest in Marc Zellweger and wanted to support him at the same time in entering the professional world. Marc Zellweger accepted the offer and surprisingly achieved promotion to the Challenge League with SC Brühl. With the simultaneous relegation of FC St. Gallen, there were city derbies for the first time in almost 40 years. In the second leg in the AFG Arena, Marc Zellweger was cheered frenetically and replaced with standing ovations. On May 23, 2012, Marc Zellweger played his last game as an active footballer in a 1-1 draw against SR Delémont . Initially, however, he stayed with SC Brühl as a fitness and conditioning trainer before he got a taste of the administration at Event AG of the AFG Arena and finally took over a branch of a fitness chain in Rorschach in 2013.
