Michael Baur (born April 16, 1969 in Innsbruck ) is a former Austrian football player on the position of central defender. He has been a trainer since 2010.

Career

Michael Baur was a junior player at SV Innsbruck when he was discovered by Ernst Happel at the age of 19 . The central defender began his active professional career in 1989 at FC Swarovski Tirol . The Innsbrucker became Austrian champion in his first year as a professional. Michael Baur made his debut in the Austrian national soccer team on May 30, 1990 in a 3-2 victory over the Netherlands , when he came onto the pitch at halftime for Kurt Russ from Upper Styria . He was also included in the squad for the 1990 World Cup in Italy , but was not used there.

After seven years with Innsbruck in the first Austrian league, he moved to the first Japanese league for a short detour to the Urawa Red Diamonds . After just one season, Michael Baur returned to Austria for FC Tirol Innsbruck and won the Austrian championship trick there from 2000 to 2002 before the club filed for bankruptcy. During this time, Michael Baur returned to international appearances after a six-year break.

After the bankruptcy of his home club in the Bundesliga, the defender followed his coach Kurt Jara to Germany for Hamburger SV . Initially provided with an appropriate working time, he slipped into the second team of Hamburg. After a disappointing year he came back to Austria to Pasching and when they sold their license to SK Austria Kärnten , he switched to LASK in 2007 . There Baur ended his active career.

From October 2010 to March 2011, Baur was initially employed alongside Helmut Kraft (until November 2010) and then next to Georg Zellhofer (from November 2010 to March 2011) as assistant coach at his last club, LASK. On December 21, 2011 the USK Anif ( Regionalliga West ) announced that Michael Baur will be the new coach. He served there until 2014 and then made his biggest career leap as a coach from there: On May 7, 2014, the Austrian Bundesliga club SV Grödig announced that Baur would be the new head coach and successor to Adi Hütter . In June 2015, Baur was dismissed as a coach from SV Grödig. From July 2017 he was head coach of the former Bundesliga club Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz (2005) . In 2019 he took over the coaching position at FC Kitzbühel .
