Player career

Football beginnings in Switzerland and Spain

Neuville began his football career in 1979 in Gambarogno in the Locarno district of the US Gambarogno. There he played as a striker . In 1991 he moved to the NLB club FC Locarno and in 1992 to the NLA at Servette Geneva . With this club he became Swiss champion in 1994 . This championship season, Neuville scored 16 goals for his club - his career record in professional football. Only Giovane Élber from Grasshoppers Zurich and Nestor Subiat from FC Lugano were able to score more goals that season. In the summer of 1995 Neuville was supposed to move to FC Bayern Munich , the transfer was already announced by Bavaria after the agreement with Neuville in February 1995. The transfer did not take place because the two clubs could not agree on a transfer fee.

In 1996 he moved to CD Tenerife for a year , where he was trained by Jupp Heynckes . He played 33 games and scored five goals.

Career at Hansa Rostock

Neuville moved to Hansa Rostock in 1997 in the German Bundesliga . He made his debut on September 27, 1997 (8th matchday) in a 1-1 draw against Bayer 04 Leverkusen . After Neuville had not been in the squad in seven Bundesliga and one cup games, he was substituted on for Sławomir Majak in the 70th minute . In the three following games against 1. FC Köln (1: 2), MSV Duisburg (1: 0) and FC Schalke 04 (4: 1) he scored one goal each.

He became a regular player during that season before the striker was out from late January to early April 1998. He made his comeback in a 2-2 draw against eventual champions 1. FC Kaiserslautern on April 18, 1998 (31st matchday), where he also scored a goal. Altogether, Neuville scored eight goals in 17 games for Rostock in his first Bundesliga season, and in sixth place they narrowly missed the UEFA Cup .

He was also a regular in his second season at Hansa Rostock; he played 33 times and scored 14 goals. Despite the barely achieved relegation, he was nominated for the first time for the German national team, in which he made his debut in 1998.

Transfer to Bayer 04 Leverkusen

For the 1999/2000 season he went to Bayer 04 Leverkusen . Neuville made his debut in the 0-0 draw at MSV Duisburg . He also became a regular in Leverkusen, but was initially converted to left winger and later even left midfielder. But this was canceled again in the next season, and so Oliver Neuville acted again as a center forward .

Borussia Monchengladbach

From the 2004/05 season the striker played for Borussia Mönchengladbach . There he was able to assert himself immediately and established himself as a regular player. In a preparatory game against Galatasaray Istanbul on July 28, 2006, he scored a noteworthy hacking goal, which was voted goal of the month and later goal of the year 2006 by viewers of the sports show .

Since 2007 he has been the captain of the team that immediately returned to the Bundesliga at the end of the 2007/08 season . In January 2009 his teammate Filip Daems was elected as the new captain . Neuville's contract with Borussia Mönchengladbach expired on June 30, 2010 and Neuville announced that he would end his career.

After his last game for Mönchengladbach on May 8, 2010, he caused a real scandal by shouting into the stadium microphone: "Give me a shit FC Köln!" And thus intensified the heated rivalry with 1. FC Köln .

In Mönchengladbach, Neuville was given a job in the club's youth work.

Arminia Bielefeld

One month after the end of the season, however, he revised the decision to end his career and hired the second division Arminia Bielefeld , for whom he met for the first time on September 12, 2010 (3rd matchday) in the 1: 3 defeat against Hertha BSC . At the beginning of December, Neuville and Arminia Bielefeld agreed to terminate his contract on January 31, 2011, as well as his immediate release, after he had been used almost exclusively as a substitute after the coach change from Christian Ziege to Ewald Lienen . At the same time he ended his active career as a footballer.

National team

Neuville in 2013

Initially, if you ignore the nationalities, Oliver Neuville had the choice between four national teams: Germany (origin of the father), Italy (origin of the mother), Switzerland (born and raised in Switzerland) and Belgium (origin of the grandfather). Neuville chose Germany. Since he grew up in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, he initially needed an interpreter to communicate with the German national team.

On September 2, 1998 Neuville was against Malta (2-1) for the first time for Germany on the field. In 2002 he took part in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan with the DFB team and became vice world champion. He scored the decisive goal in the 1-0 win against Paraguay in the round of 16.

It was also used during the 2006 World Cup in Germany. National coach Jürgen Klinsmann changed him in all games as a joker. In the preliminary round match against Poland on June 14th, after being substituted on after a cross from David Odonkor, he scored the decisive 1-0 in stoppage time in the second half. He also scored the first penalty in the shoot-out of the quarter-final against Argentina.

Oliver Neuville was nominated by Joachim Löw on May 16, 2008 for the extended German squad for the 2008 European Football Championship and on May 28, 2008 was included in the final line-up of 23 players. However, he was only used for seven minutes in the preliminary round match against Austria. This was also his 69th and last international match. With 36 substitutions, he is the most frequently substituted German national player.

Coaching career

After the final end of his career, Neuville began an annual internship in the youth department of his former club Borussia Mönchengladbach under the coach of the second team, Sven Demandt , and was also part of the coaching staff of the U23 team. In November 2011 he received his B-trainer license after completing a course at the Hennef sports school . In June 2013 Neuville became co-coach of the Borussia U19 team alongside Mark Roch and behind head coach Horst Steffen .

In addition to his commitment in the A-youth, the new head coach Marco Rose brought him to his team for the 2019/20 season . Neuville is an assistant coach there and is responsible for integrating new players who speak French, Spanish or Italian, as he is fluent in these three languages.
