Max Breunig (born November 12, 1888 in Stein, today in Königsbach-Stein , † July 4, 1961 in Karlsruhe ) was a German football player. He completed a total of nine international matches between 1910 and 1913 and scored one goal for the German national team . In all nine missions he was the captain of the German team. With the Karlsruhe FV he won the championship in 1910. As a trainer, Breunig, who was trained as a teacher, was runner-up with TSV 1860 Munich in 1931.

The beefy, 1.96 m tall Breunig played from 1905 initially on a temporary basis, then at the age of 16½ years permanently in the first team of the Karlsruher FV , first on the left wing, then as a defender, until he was used as a center runner by his then coach William Townley . In this position he was considered one of the best in the period before the First World War . At club level, Breunig won the German championship with the Karlsruher FV in 1910 . In the final against Holstein Kiel he scored the 1-0 winning goal in the second extra time with a penalty. In the same year he won the Crown Prince's Cup with the South German selection . Two years later he was again represented in the victorious selection of southern Germany. In September 1913, Breunig moved to 1. FC Pforzheim .

The magazine “Fußball” wrote about Breuning after the international match against Denmark in 1913: “In the runner row, Breuning was the tower in battle. Without arrogance, he was the best man in the Germans, if not in the whole field. Such a successful game by a middle runner has not yet been shown on the German side. He could stand a comparison with his famous opponent Middelboe . Breuning put Middelboe in the shade. "

When the First World War broke out, his playing career was initially interrupted and finally ended by a war injury. After the war he worked as a coach at his former clubs 1. FC Pforzheim and Karlsruher FV, among others, and from 1922 to 1924 he coached FC Basel . He was particularly successful as a trainer for TSV 1860 Munich. In 1926/27 he moved into the semi-finals of the German championship with the Lions and failed there at 1. FC Nürnberg. In 1928 he was temporarily replaced by the later first master coach of FC Bayern Munich , Richard Dombi .

After Breunig's return in 1930/31, TSV 1860 even reached the German championship final against the reigning champions Hertha BSC , who reached the final for the sixth time in a row. The sixties took the lead twice, but lost to a goal from Willi Kirsei in the 89th minute. In 1932/33 he reached the final round of the German championship again. TSV 1860 failed in the semi-finals at Schalke 04. Under his direction, TSV 1860 played with the most respectable combination football in Germany and it was to him that TSV owed the rise from the mediocre regional division (at that time the highest division) to one of the best teams in Germany. With Breunig's second farewell, the people of Munich disappeared again for some time in mediocrity.

Breunig trained from 1941 to 1943 (District League Baden) and from 1946 to 1948 ( Oberliga Süd or Landesliga Nordbaden) again his home club Karlsruher FV.

Most recently, Breunig lived in the Arlinger settlement in the Pforzheim district of Brötzingen.
