Markus Pröll (born August 28, 1979 in Rheinbach ) is a former German soccer goalkeeper and today's coach . He played for 1. FC Cologne , Eintracht Frankfurt and Panionios Athens . In 2011 he ended his career and worked as a player agent. Pröll now lives in Cologne.

Player career

1. FC Cologne

When 1. FC Köln were relegated to the 2. Bundesliga in 1998 , the 19-year-old Pröll moved up to the professional squad and was able to take over the regular position in goal from the previous goalkeeper and his future coach at Eintracht Frankfurt Andreas Menger during the first half of the season . As a result, he was appointed several times to the U-21 national team. He was now promoted to the Bundesliga with the club and was able to hold the regular place in the goal of his club until the end of the 2000/01 season . In the following season , his previous substitute Alexander Bade started as number one, but Pröll was able to regain his regular place towards the end of the first half of the season. In the following year , again in League 2, Bade was initially given preference over Pröll. When Pröll remained largely on the bench in only two league appearances this season and Stefan Wessels was signed as the new regular goalkeeper for the next season , Pröll moved to Frankfurt Eintracht in the summer of 2003 .

Eintracht Frankfurt

In the promotion season of Eintracht Frankfurt ( 2004/05 ) Pröll played an important role and was voted Frankfurt Player of the Season by the fans. Due to an injury, however, he did not play in the following season, but Oka Nikolov moved into goal.

In the 2006/2007 season , trainer Friedhelm Funkel again made him number 1 ahead of Oka Nikolov . He made a name for himself when he was able to save three penalties in a row. He was then classified by the kicker sports magazine as the best Bundesliga keeper of the first half of 2006/2007. This was also due to the fact that he remained almost flawless in all three competitions (Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and UEFA-Cup) in the first half of the season and was thus largely responsible for the success of Frankfurt Eintracht.

He missed the second half of the 2006/07 season because doctors initially did not recognize a broken rib. Since the 2007/08 season Pröll was a member of the team council. In the second half of the 2007/08 season he fell out for weeks after a partial tear in the syndesmosis band. At the beginning of the 2008/09 season he lost his regular place to Oka Nikolov after an operation on his ankle . Since his injury on matchday 14, Pröll was back in goal.

Markus Pröll was occasionally used as a striker in Eintracht friendlies. So he scored four goals in the game against the Darmstadt district division SKG (9-2) in the summer of 2006.

Due to a shoulder injury after a fall, Pröll missed the entire first half of 2009/10. Markus Pröll left Eintracht Frankfurt when his contract expired at the end of the 2009/10 season . At the last home game on May 1, 2010, he was bid farewell to great applause from the fans.

Clublessness

Pröll trained with Bayer 04 Leverkusen after leaving Frankfurt . In December 2010 he completed a trial training session with Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln . There they were looking for a new goalkeeper for the second half of the 2010/2011 season after Faryd Mondragón had announced his move to Philadelphia Union . The club decided on the younger Michael Rensing .

Panionios Athens

After about half a year without a club, Pröll signed with Panionios Athens in February 2011 , where he was the substitute goalkeeper behind the Austrian national goalkeeper Jürgen Macho . The contract with the relegation-threatened Greek first division club ran until the end of the season. Pröll rejected a contract extension.

End of career

In the summer of 2011, Pröll acquired a license to become a player's agent and ended his active career in December of the same year. Pröll explained that the after-effects of previous injuries would prevent a return to full performance, and that he did not want to take permanent pain medication if he continued his career.

National team

Pröll was six times in the goal of the German U-21 national team .
