Otto Konrad (born November 1, 1964 in Graz , Styria ) is a former Austrian soccer player and ÖFB goalkeeper trainer as well as a politician (non-party, previously TEAM ). From June 2013 to June 2018 he was a member of the Salzburg state parliament .
Player career
Otto Konrad was born in 1964 as the son of a bandagist . He started in the youth department of the Graz sports club as a goalkeeper and striker. It wasn't until he was 16 that Konrad decided to only play as a goalkeeper. In 1981 he moved to local rivals Sturm Graz for 20,000 schillings. Since he was brought in as the fourth goalkeeper, Konrad only came to the Bundesliga in August 1984, at the age of 19, due to injuries to the first goalkeeper.
Through his use in training he recommended himself more and more for further assignments and in the autumn of 1986 he was used more often, next to the then standard goalkeeper Walter Saria. From 1987 Konrad was the goalkeeper of Sturm Graz. Sturm's greatest successes were the first round of the UEFA Cup and fourth place in the Bundesliga.
In 1991 he moved to SV Austria Salzburg. It was there that he experienced his greatest successes. He was Austrian champion twice, reached the UEFA Cup final and played in the Champions League. At the UEFA Cup quarter-finals on March 15, 1994, Eintracht Frankfurt versus Austria Salzburg, Konrad saved two penalties on penalties and converted the decisive one himself. His goalkeeper coach at the time, Marinko Koljanin, said: “That was the most important moment in his life. He went from being a very good goalie to being a top goalie. "
On September 28, 1994 Konrad was hit by a water bottle during a UEFA Champions League match against AC Milan and had to be replaced. AC Milan won this game 3-0. The points were subsequently deducted from AC Milan because of this incident, but the goal difference was not changed. Thus AC Milan and not the Salzburg selection came into the knockout round.
In 1993 and 1994 he won the crown soccer election. On October 29, 1994 he headed (after a free kick by Tomislav Kocijan ) in the 90th minute the equalizer in the 1-1 draw against Stahl Linz, which was voted Goal of the Year 1994.
Otto Konrad moved to Real Saragossa in 1997 and was the goalkeeper there. His international career ended in 1999. After his return, DSV Leoben signed him and awarded him to the Liebherr GAK for six months. Their regular goalkeeper suffered a serious injury during a game, which is why the GAK (coach Werner Gregoritsch) was looking for a goalkeeper who could change during the season. Konrad took on the role of substitute goalkeeper. Then he moved back to the 1st division at DSV Leoben. Here, too, he played only a few missions. Between 2001 and 2003 he played at PSV Schwarz-Weiß Salzburg in the Regionalliga West and in the 1. Landesliga Salzburg.
Between 1986 and 1988 Konrad was a U21 goalkeeper. His first appearance in the Austrian national team was on May 24, 1989 in a friendly against Norway. However, since there were some good Austrian goalkeepers at the time, he was rarely used. At the 1990 World Cup, Konrad was the third goalkeeper. In qualifying for the European Football Championship in 1996, he played a few games. In 1994 he was first goalkeeper for a short time, but was ranked back after an injury. Konrad then resigned from the national team.
In 2005 he also gave a short guest appearance at the regional league club SV BW Sachsenburg in Carinthia, where he replaced the goalkeeper who was injured there. Despite his help, the club was not spared relegation to the minor league. In July 2006 Konrad was persuaded to guard the goal of the 1. Oberndorfer SK in the Salzburg State League for the 2006/07 season. At the end of 2006 he took over the club's coaching chair for the spring season.
Coaching career
In autumn 2005 he took over the post of goalkeeper coach for the Austrian national team for two games before moving to the junior division of the ÖFB . From autumn 2006 to 2011 he was the goalkeeper coach of the U-21 national team . By appointing Marcel Koller as team manager, he was promoted to the senior national team in autumn 2011, until he left the coaching staff by mutual agreement in March 2013 due to his political commitment.
Since the 2010/11 season Otto Konrad was also the goalkeeper coach of SV Grödig , where he formed the coaching team together with his "old" Austria Salzburg colleagues Heimo Pfeifenberger and Franz Aigner .

The Stronach team received 8.3% of the votes for Salzburg, which corresponds to three mandates in the Salzburg state parliament. Konrad took office as a member of the Salzburg state parliament in June 2013. In November 2015, Konrad announced that he was leaving the Stronach team and the Stronach state parliament club after internal party disputes. However, he retained his mandate in the Salzburg state parliament and subsequently became a Wilder MP , which, according to his own statements, continues to be the state government Haslauer junior. I (to which the Stronach team belongs as a coalition party). After the state elections in Salzburg in 2018 , he left the state parliament.
Others
Konrad, along with Wolfgang Feiersinger and Heimo Pfeifenberger, was one of Salzburg's audience favorites and, after the game in Frankfurt in 1994, achieved great fame throughout Austria. He used this to get advertising contracts (for example for Ovaltine ). In 1994 he also recorded two CDs in the course of his popularity: We are the Salzburg fans with the group Superchamp & Otto Konrad and Almhütt'n with Die Fidelen Technotaler . By 1997, both CDs had sold a total of 42,000 times. He is the advertising medium for the Graz leather jewelry brand Cowstyle.
In 1996 he played himself in the Salzburg film A Backpack Full of Lies .
Private

After his master craftsman's examination (1991), he was, among other things, the owner of the Otto Konrad medical supply company . In 2006 he completed his coaching training for the UEFA A license.
