Player career

societies

Effenberg began as a child at SC Victoria Hamburg , then went to Bramfelder SV as a youth player for two years . He later played again for Victoria in their U21s.

Borussia Monchengladbach

Wolf Werner , then assistant coach to Jupp Heynckes at the first division club Borussia Mönchengladbach , became aware of the talent of the young Effenberg in 1986. After Heynckes moved to FC Bayern Munich in the summer of 1987 , he brought Effenberg, who was still 18, to the Borussia professional team as head coach at the beginning of the 1987/88 season . Effenberg met players like Uwe Kamps , Thomas Eichin and Michael Frontzeck . Werner used Effenberg for the first time in November in a 1-0 win over 1. FC Kaiserslautern in a Bundesliga game. Overall, Effenberg came to 15 Bundesliga games in his first professional season. He scored his first Bundesliga goal on matchday 32 in a 4-2 away win at Hannover 96 . In the next two seasons he played 29 times each; In total, he came to ten Bundesliga goals.

Bayern Munich

In 1990 Effenberg moved to the then German champions FC Bayern Munich under coach Jupp Heynckes . In his first Bundesliga game for Munich, he scored the 1-1 goal with a penalty in the home game against Bayer Leverkusen . This was followed by eight more goals and appearances in the European Cup (elimination in the semifinals against Red Star Belgrade ). At the end of the first season with Bayern, he and his team took second place behind 1. FC Kaiserslautern .

In the following season, the club only reached tenth place in the Bundesliga. Effenberg experienced three club coaches this season; Heynckes, who was on leave in October 1991, was followed by Søren Lerby and Erich Ribbeck . In addition, they failed in the UEFA Cup in the second round (2-6 away and 1-0 at home) at the Danish club B 1903 Copenhagen . Effenberg also played in the team that was eliminated in the first game of the DFB Cup against FC Homburg .

Fiorentina and relegation to Serie B

After an overall unsatisfactory season at Bayern, Effenberg moved to Serie A at Fiorentina in the summer of 1992 . Again he scored his first goal for the new club in his first league game with the goal to make it 1-0 in the game against FC Genoa 1893 (final score 1: 1). Despite a top-class squad - u. a. played Brian Laudrup , Francesco Baiano and the Argentine Gabriel Batistuta in the team - the club was at the end of the season in 16th place in the table again and was relegated. In the next season (1993/94) Effenberg was trained in Serie B by Claudio Ranieri and rose directly to the team again.

Return to Mönchengladbach

In 1994 Effenberg returned - initially on loan - back to Borussia Mönchengladbach, who was trained by Bernd Krauss . The attacking midfielder developed here into a dangerous leading player. He and his team won the DFB Cup that season in June 1995 with a 3-0 final against the then second division club VfL Wolfsburg ; Effenberg scored the second goal.

In the 1995/96 season - as in the previous season - he scored seven Bundesliga goals. He also met three times in the European Cup Winners' Cup (elimination in the quarter-finals against Feyenoord Rotterdam ).

In the 1997/98 season Effenberg experienced various coaches, from Hannes Bongartz to Norbert Meier to Friedel Rausch . Borussia Mönchengladbach narrowly escaped relegation; only because of the better goal difference compared to the same point Karlsruher SC the team was spared the move to the 2nd division. Effenberg played aggressively as usual and scored a total of eight goals.

Return to Bayern Munich

In the summer of 1998 , Effenberg accepted Bayern's offer to return.

Effenberg now experienced his most successful time as a footballer under Ottmar Hitzfeld . He was at the zenith of his performance and became team captain in 1999 . In the next few years he won almost all the major titles that a German club footballer can win with Bayern: He was German champion three times in a row (1999, 2000, 2001), in 2000 DFB Cup winner, and at European level he achieved that in 1999 Champions League final , which FCB lost to Manchester United in a dramatic final phase . A year later, FCB failed in the semi-finals against eventual winners Real Madrid . 2001 was the high point in Effenberg's career: Bayern secured the championship at the last second with a draw in the game at HSV, and a few days later Effenberg won the Champions League in the final against Valencia as captain and goalscorer. It was FCB's first title win in this competition since the “golden era” in the 1970s. In the same year, Effenberg and the team also won the World Cup against the Argentinian Boca Juniors .

VfL Wolfsburg and Al-Arabi

Effenberg ended his Bundesliga career at VfL Wolfsburg in 2002/03 . Finally, he played another year for Al-Arabi in Doha , Qatar . His farewell game took place on July 22, 2005 in Borussia Park in Mönchengladbach.

With a total of 114 yellow cards, Effenberg is the only player to date to have received a three-digit number of warnings; thus he is the record holder in the "eternal table" of yellow sinners. In addition, he had to accept seven dismissals (four yellow and red, three red). Effenberg was the first Bundesliga player to see the yellow-red card on August 20, 1991 in the game between Bayern Munich and Schalke 04.

National team

In the German national team Effenberg had 35 missions from 1991 to 1998 and scored five goals. When he at the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States after the match against South Korea in Dallas a few disgruntled German fans the middle finger showed he was of German coach Berti Vogts after consultation with DFB president Egidius Braun excluded from the national team. In 1998, after the World Cup in France , which was rather unsuccessful for the German team, under the criticized national coach Vogts there was a short, but ultimately unsuccessful, comeback attempt . The game against Romania on September 5, 1998 was Effenberg's last game for the national team. In July 2000 the new team boss of the national team, Rudi Völler , tried in vain to win Effenberg for a new return.

Activities after his playing career

Effenberg successfully completed the ten-month football teacher training course at Hennes-Weisweiler-Akademie in 2012 , thereby acquiring a trainer's license . The license was not renewed after three years due to the lack of participation in training events.

On October 13, 2015, Effenberg took over the 15th division of SC Paderborn 07 from the previously dismissed Markus Gellhaus . He received a contract until June 30, 2017. The first training under his direction took place in front of a record crowd for the Paderborn club of around 600 spectators. His first game as Paderborn coach on October 16, 2015 was a 2-0 win against Eintracht Braunschweig . On March 3, 2016, the club, which was now on a direct relegation zone, separated from him again. In a press conference, club president Wilfried Finke was surprised by Effenberg's antics, which would ultimately have led to the separation.

In 2009 Effenberg took part in the first edition of Schlag den Star and defeated his opponent Oliver. In the 25th episode of July 4, 2015, he appeared again on the show, this time against Daniel Aminati , and lost with 4:24 points.

In May 2011, Effenberg led the “Initiative Borussia”, which campaigned for a change in the statutes of Borussia Mönchengladbach, the appointment of Effenberg as sports director and the appointment of Horst Köppel as the new club boss. 335 of the 4769 members present voted for Effenberg's initiative; a two-thirds majority would have been necessary.

During the EM 2016 Effenberg was seen on TV as an ARD expert .

In January 2017, Effenberg was a candidate for the Sat.1 game show Duell der Stars - Die Sat.1 Promiarena in Team Soccer .

Effenberg has been a partner in a sports agency that advises and markets top athletes since 2017. His son Etienne also works in the agency.

On December 4, 2018, the Volks- und Raiffeisenbank Bad Salzungen announced that it had hired Stefan Effenberg as a consultant in corporate banking. Effenberg will advise on the financing of transfers or stadium renovations.

From the beginning of October 2019 Effenberg worked as Manager Sport for the third division club KFC Uerdingen 05 , where he was supposed to “ assist Mikhail Ponomarev and Managing Director Nikolas Weinhart as well as the coaching team in the sporting decision-making processes”. Effenberg left office at his own request in mid-May 2020.

An incident drew public attention on the night of December 1, 1996, when Effenberg and his then wife Martina found an intoxicated male in the driveway to their residence in Niederkrüchten- Heyen. The man is there to its loud Effenberg necessities have done. On the basis of a testimony, according to which Effenberg insulted the uninvited visitor and stepped on him, there was a legal aftermath in 1997 on suspicion of dangerous bodily harm. However, the criminal case was dropped in February 1997.

In a Playboy interview from April 2002, Effenberg commented on the unemployed. He was quoted as saying: “Many people obviously live so well on unemployment benefits that they don't feel like getting up early in the morning and hunching down into the evening - just so that at the end of the month they have a whopping hundred euros more in their accounts . ”This statement was taken up by the ver.di union and accused Effenberg of insulting the unemployed.
