Jörg Stiel (born 3 March 1968 in Baden) is a Swiss retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Stiel started his career with FC Wettingen, later playing for FC St. Gallen and FC Zürich in his native country. He also spent a season with Mexican team Toros Neza in 1993–94.

In 2001–02 Stiel was signed by Bundesliga's Borussia Mönchengladbach, being the undisputed starter throughout his three-season stint in Germany and making a total of 96 official appearances, relegating club legend Uwe Kamps to the substitutes bench.

In November 2006 Stiel joined Austrian side SC Rheindorf Altach as their goalkeeping coach. On 19 July 2009 he returned to Borussia, in the same capacity.^[1]

International career

Stiel won 21 international caps for Switzerland and was their first-choice goalkeeper at UEFA Euro 2004, appearing in all of the team's three games at the tournament.

In the 0–3 loss against England, one of the goals came after deflecting from the post onto the back of Stiel's head, although it was officially credited to Wayne Rooney. After the tournament, where he was also named Man of the match in the 0–0 draw with Croatia,^[2] he retired from playing.
