Career

Richard Kitzbichler started playing soccer at the Tyrolean lower class club SV Niederndorf at the age of six . At the age of 14, he moved to the Federal Youth Center in Innsbruck, where he worked in the entire youth department.

Under coach Branko Elsner , he received his first contract as a young professional with FC Wacker Innsbruck in 1992 and made his debut in the Austrian Bundesliga in the spring of 1993 against the Wiener Sport-Club . For the 1994/95 season he was awarded to the regional league team SC Kundl due to a lack of performance, but made it back to professional football via the regional league and even celebrated his debut in the Austrian national football team in the spring of 1996 in the away game against Hungary in Budapest .

After two seasons at FC Tirol Innsbruck , he moved to the then champions SV Austria Salzburg in the summer of 1997 . In 2002, the talented, only 1.72 m tall midfielder dared to make the leap abroad for the first time, but was unable to assert himself with his new club, Hamburger SV . In the same year, Kitzbichler played the last of his 17 international matches in the 3-2 defeat in Basel against Switzerland. After only one year in the German Bundesliga , the Tyrolean moved back to Austria. At Vienna Austria he was initially committed as a squad player, but was able to find himself on the starting line-up more and more often. After a few good games for the Viennese, he accepted an offer from the Australian football club Melbourne Victory and in 2005 played very successfully in the local A-League for half a year .

At Melbourne , Kitzbichler wore the shirt number 17 and was mainly used in the right offensive midfield. In Australia , the former Austrian team player was rated as the star of his team and one of the star players of the entire A-League.

During the winter break 2005/06 returned Kitzbichler to Austria and accepted an offer of top club Red Bull Salzburg , where he as a leading player in the 2006/07 season with his nunmehrigen coach Adi Hütter the amateur team of the Salzburg of the West Regional in the first League led. On May 20, 2009, Kitzbichler announced the end of his active football career.

Richard Kitzbichler has been working as a video analyst at FC Red Bull Salzburg since the 2009/10 season . He completed his video training with Franz Wanner (TSV Klappling) and took part in the international One Minute Film & Video Festival in Switzerland with his football film Ideas . At the beginning of the 2015/16 season he became Peter Zeidler's assistant coach in the first team. Under his successor Óscar García , he worked again as a video analyst from January 2016 to June 2017. Roger Schmidt then brought him to Beijing Guoan as an assistant coach .
