Michael Feichtenbeiner (born July 9, 1960 in Stuttgart ) is a German football coach .

Career

As a player

After graduating from Fanny-Leicht-Gymnasium in Stuttgart in 1980, he went to the Bundeswehr's sports promotion company for two years , which he left as a sergeant. From 1982 to 1987 he studied sports and geography to become a teacher in Heidelberg and Stuttgart. Feichtenbeiner played actively in the amateur field at TV giltstein , SV Vaihingen and FV Germania Degerloch.

As a trainer

In the summer of 1999 Feichtenbeiner signed his first and so far only contract as head coach in the 2. Bundesliga with the Stuttgarter Kickers . While his team was successful in the DFB Cup against the three first division clubs Borussia Dortmund, Arminia Bielefeld and SC Freiburg, Feichtenbeiner was unsuccessful in the league: Less than four weeks after the cup defeat in the semi-finals against Werder Bremen, Feichtenbeiner received the highest in March 2000 the kickers' position at risk of relegation (21 points from 24 games).

For the 2000/01 season Feichtenbeiner returned to the Regionalliga Süd , where he took over SV Darmstadt 98 . At that time Feichtenbeiner was considered a prototype of the new generation of trainers, the so-called “young wild ones ” and was compared to Ralf Rangnick . Feichtenbeiner led the Darmstadt lilies up to 5th place in the table in his first year. In addition, by winning the Hessen Cup, they qualified for the DFB Cup, in which the third division side defeated the Bundesliga clubs FC St. Pauli and SC Freiburg and only narrowly failed in the round of 16 against eventual cup winners FC Schalke 04. Nevertheless Feichtenbeiner was given leave of absence in April 2002 after an unfortunate season (41 points from 30 games). The dismissal accelerated a temporary downturn for the club, which culminated in a guest appearance in the Oberliga Hessen in 2003/04.

Feichtenbeiner remained loyal to the Regionalliga Süd and in October 2002 took on an engagement with Rot-Weiß Erfurt . Under Feichtenbeine's direction, Erfurt only lost one of 14 regional league games, but could only win six games. In third place (although seven points behind with ten outstanding games) Feichtenbeiner was dismissed in April 2003 after he had announced the day before that he would not want to extend his contract, which was running out at the end of the season.

In 2003/04 Feichtenbeiner hired the league competitor Sportfreunde Siegen . After 28 points from 26 games and a disgraceful 5-2 home defeat, he was given leave in April 2004. According to the club boss, the club and the coach made a clean separation, and Feichtenbeiner agreed to a severance payment.

In April 2005 Feichtenbeiner suddenly appeared in Malaysia . There he saved Selangor MPPJ in the top division, the Malaysia Super League , from relegation. Although Feichtenbeiner managed to form a team from 15 newcomers for his second season at the capital club, which led the table after eight match days, he was surprisingly dismissed in January 2006 by the club's management "via SMS".

Half a year later Feichtenbeiner returned to an old place of work: From summer 2006 he coached SC Pfullendorf a second time in the Regionalliga Süd. With the underdog he achieved another DFB Cup success against a Bundesliga club (Arminia Bielefeld) and an unexpectedly good 7th place in the final table in the 2006/07 season. Since the board was able to convince him of the club's ambitions to qualify for the third professional league, Feichtenbeiner extended his contract in Pfullendorf to the 2007/08 season. In April 2008, however, he was given leave of absence when qualification for the 3rd division was missed and the club was afraid of being eliminated in the South Baden Cup and thus also missing the qualification for the DFB Cup .

Michael Feichtenbeiner then trained players of the Stuttgarter Kickers (B- / A-Jugend, as well as occasional amateur players) at the Johann-Friedrich-von-Cotta-Schule in Stuttgart-Ost . After a knee operation, he completed several internships, including with Jürgen Klinsmann and FC Bayern Munich , as well as Ralf Rangnick and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim .

In August 2009 he took over the post of sports director at the second division Energie Cottbus , but was dismissed a year later.

In December 2010 Feichtenbeiner again signed a coaching contract in Asia: In January 2011, he coached the Medan Bintang FC club in the newly founded Indonesian professional league . As a result of the merger of his club with another club, his involvement in Indonesia ended in autumn 2011.

In December 2012, SV Wehen Wiesbaden introduced Feichtenbeiner as the new sports director; he took over the office on January 1, 2013. On May 12, 2015, the association announced that it was separating from Feichtenbeiner with immediate effect.

In July 2015 he became the coach of the German U-15 team . He then coached the U-16 team between 2017 and 2018 and the U-17 team between 2018 and 2019 .

For the 2019/20 season he was coach of the Austrian second division club FC Liefering , the farm team of FC Red Bull Salzburg . After about two weeks as Liefering trainer, he was replaced by Bo Svensson in July 2019 and became his assistant trainer. In January 2020 he left Liefering and moved back to Malaysia, where he became Technical Director at Selangor FA .
