Thomas Köhler (born June 17, 1967 ) is a former German soccer goalkeeper and current coach . Since 2018 he has been a goalkeeping coach and head of the young talent center of Chemnitzer FC .
Player career
Thomas Köhler came to SG Dynamo Dresden during the winter break in 1988/89 through the youth division of FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt and the league team of BSG Robotron Sömmerda . The 1.94 meter tall goalkeeper made his debut in the top division of the GDR on May 27, 1989 in the 1-1 draw of the Dynamos at BSG Wismut Aue . In the 1988/89 season of the GDR Oberliga Köhler played only this one mission and in the 1989/90 season another seven missions for Dynamo Dresden, which he contributed to the won championship of the Saxons in both seasons, which also in 1989/90 the FDGB -Cup won. His goalkeeping competitor Ronny Teuber could not permanently dispute Koehler's regular place, so that he only made two appearances in the national championship cup , which he played in the quarter-finals against the later cup winner Belgrade in 1990/91 . He played a total of 17 league games in the goal of the Dresden Dynamos.
With the incorporation of the East German into the now all-German league operations in mid-1991, Köhler first played for the third-class league club FSV Soemtron Sömmerda , for whom he played four games in the 1991/92 season in the southern season of the Northeast amateur league . In the fall of 1991, however, he joined the Bundesliga team Hansa Rostock . In the 1991/92 season , in which Hansa acted for the first time in the top division of the Federal Republic, Koehler did not come to any use for the North Germans, who relied on Daniel Hoffmann and Jens Kunath in the failed attempt at relegation .
In the summer of 1992 Köhler joined the upper division club FC Sachsen Leipzig , with whom he qualified for the newly founded, also third-rate regional league in 1994 . In this Koehler completed 28 missions for Leipzig during the 1994/95 season , at the end of which Koehler 's team took second place in the final table behind FC Carl Zeiss Jena and thus just missed promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga .
Köhler then left Leipzig and returned to his former club 1. FC Dynamo Dresden, which had recently suffered relegation to the regional league. In the 1995/96 season he only came to 18 regional league appearances for Dynamo due to injuries, but in the following three seasons from 1996/97 to 1998/99 Köhler was the club's regular goalkeeper and completed another 83 appearances for Dresden, with him in the 1998/99 season even scored a goal in the game against Eisenhüttenstädter FC Stahl (2-2 draw on September 18, 1998). The financially troubled club managed to establish itself in the middle of the regional league instead of returning to the highest German leagues.
Köhler then moved to the 1999/00 season for the second division Energie Cottbus , with whom he was promoted to the Bundesliga in his first season. However, Tomislav Piplica was preferred to Köhler in the promotion season and also guarded the Cottbus goal in the 2000/01 first division season , so that Köhler only played in the DFB Cup for Energie before ending his active career in 2001 .
successes
- GDR Oberliga champions: 1988/89 , 1989/90
