Career

In the club

Martin Stranzl began his football career at the age of six with his hometown club SV Güssing, from which he came to BNZ Burgenland. At the age of 16 he completed a trial training session with the German Bundesliga club TSV 1860 Munich and finally moved to Germany in February 1997. Initially housed with a host family, he finished his school education and managed to move up from the junior teams to the amateur team and into the Bundesliga. He made his debut on May 1, 1999 against Hansa Rostock . In the following season he was soon a regular player.

After Munich's relegation in 2004, Stranzl went to Bundesliga rivals VfB Stuttgart . He played two seasons in the UEFA Cup for the Swabians for the first time before moving to the Russian first division club Spartak Moscow in March 2006 . In Moscow, the central defender was runner-up three times, reached the cup final once and also played in the main round of the UEFA Champions League .

In the 2010/11 winter break, Stranzl moved to Borussia Mönchengladbach and thus back to the Bundesliga. Since the 2012/13 season he has been the team captain several times . In the 2014/15 season, Stranzl won 74.7% of his tackles, making him the strongest Bundesliga player in tackles.

Due to various injuries, he did not extend his contract, which ran until June 30, 2016, and instead announced the end of his career.

With seven dismissals, Stranzl received the second most dismissals in the Bundesliga to date.
