Karel Brückner (born November 13, 1939 in Olomouc) is a Czech retired football coach.
[edit] Coaching career
Brückner began his coaching career in 1973 in the Czech League and was the coach of his home club SK Sigma Olomouc.[1] He later went on to coach Inter Bratislava with which he won the Slovakia Cup in 1985.[1] He was appointed coach of the Czech Republic national under-21 football team in 1997 and head of the national team in 2001.[1] He achieved success with the team, reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Euro 2004. The team went to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2006 and the UEFA Euro 2008 but failed to progress beyond the group stage in either of the competitions. Prior to the Euro 2008 tournament, Brückner announced his intention to leave his position at the end of the competition.[2]
However, despite announcing his retirement, Brückner did not remain unemployed for long. In July 2008, the national team of Austria named him as their new manager.[3] On 2 March 2009 Austria's football federation's president, Leo Windtner, announced that Bruckner has left his position as Austria's coach. Windtner was reportedly dissapointed with Austria's poor and faltering performance through the qualification for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[4] he retired from football on 18 March 2009.[5][6] On 8 July 2009, Bruckner was named Advisor to Ivan Hašek of the Football Association of the Czech Republic.[7]
