Paul Linz (born January 4, 1956 in Trier ) is a former German soccer player and today's coach .

player

The striker learned to play football in his hometown at VfL Trier , SV Trier-West-Euren and Eintracht Trier . In the senior division, he played for VfL Trier for four years before moving to the professional division in 1978.

As an active professional athlete, Paul Linz played a total of 33 Bundesliga games for Werder Bremen (1978/79) and Waldhof Mannheim (1983/84). He proved his ability to score goals especially in the 2nd Bundesliga , in 233 games the attacker scored a total of 115 goals for OSC Bremerhaven , Freiburg FC , Waldhof Mannheim and VfL Osnabrück . His greatest successes as a player included promotion to the Bundesliga with SV Waldhof ( 1982/83 ) and promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga with VfL Osnabrück ( 1984/85 ).

Trainer

Since 1994 he has been working as a club coach .

As a player, coach Paul Linz won with FSV SALMROHR in 1990 the German Amateur Championship and in 1992 was champion of the league Southwest .

He celebrated his greatest success as a club coach in 2001/02 with the promotion of SV Eintracht Trier 05 to the 2nd Bundesliga. After the club's relegation to the regional league in 2004/05 , Paul Linz announced his resignation from the position of coach. Not least because immediately after the end of the last game of the season and the resulting relegation, there was a scuffle between him and a supporter of Eintracht and Linz lost his composure in the highest emotional turmoil.

From October 26, 2005 Linz acted as coach of the second division club LR Ahlen. On May 3, 2006, Paul Linz relegated with the LR Ahlen for the second time in his coaching career from the 2nd Bundesliga. It is strange that the LR Ahlen of all people prevented his former club Eintracht Trier from staying up a year earlier. LR Ahlen won 4: 3 at TSV 1860 Munich , while Trier a 1: 1 at 1. FC Saarbrücken was not enough. Eintracht had to relegate due to the goal difference that was one goal worse than Energie Cottbus .

In December 2007 Paul Linz signed with the regional league club 1. FC Magdeburg . Magdeburg had given qualification for the newly introduced 3rd league as the season goal , but six points behind the necessary 10th place during the winter break. As a result, his predecessor Dirk Heyne was dismissed. The season goal was still not achieved. At the end of March 2009, Paul Linz was released from his duties in Magdeburg, as the season's goal, promotion to the 3rd division, was a long way off. His successor was Steffen Baumgart .

On January 8, 2011, Linz was introduced as the new coach of the Saarland club Borussia Neunkirchen . There he was released from his duties in December 2011.

On September 12, 2014 it was announced that Linz would take over the upper league team at its former club FSV Salmrohr and replace the coaching duo Uwe Schüller and Jörg Stölben, who had resigned due to sporting failure. Paul Linz officially took up the position of coach on September 15, 2014. In December 2016, Linz resigned from the coaching post "unnerved".
