Markus Brzenska (born May 25, 1984) in Lünen, West Germany is a German soccer player for Borussia Dortmund. Without any top level match experience, he was surprisingly included in the starting line-up by coach Matthias Sammer in the match against the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich on November 9th, 2003. His debut, ended in a send-off during first half, however. A TV reporter predicted he didn't have future in professional football, "Markus Brzenska had two matches today: his first and his last one".

But Brzenska bouced back. In 2004, when coach Bert van Marwijk arrived, such like some other players who were less familiar by the new coach, Brzenska's ability was overlooked. But his effort finally turned things around, he has returned to the first team squad during the first half of the season 2004-05 and established his place in the starting line-up since then.
