Marc Kienle (born 22 October 1972 in Ruit) is a German former footballer who is now manager of SV Wehen Wiesbaden.[1] As a player, he spent six seasons in the Bundesliga with VfB Stuttgart and MSV Duisburg.
Playing career
Kienle played youth football for Stuttgarter Kickers, before joining city rivals VfB Stuttgart in 1991. He made his debut for the club on the opening day of the 1991–92 season, as a substitute for Alexander Strehmel in a 1–0 defeat to MSV Duisburg, and made a further nine appearances during the season as Stuttgart won the Bundesliga title. The following season he only made six appearances, all as a substitute, but scored three times, including both in a 2–0 win over 1. FC Köln after replacing Fritz Walter. He made 23 appearances during the 1993–94 season, again mostly as a sub, and became a regular starter in 1994–95, with 28 appearances as Stuttgart settled into a mid-table position.
Kienle was to drop to the 2. Bundesliga, though, joining MSV Duisburg. He made 31 appearances during the 1995–96 season as Duisburg were promoted in third place, but only made five appearances in the next two seasons combined, and didn't feature in the club's run to the 1998 DFB Cup Final, which they lost against Bayern Munich. In 1998 he signed for Karlsruher SC who had just been relegated to the 2. Bundesliga, and missed out on promotion during his first season, finishing fifth. The following year Karlsruhe finished bottom of the table, and were relegated to the Regionalliga Süd, so Kienle left the club.
Kienle stayed in the 2. Bundesliga, signing for Alemannia Aachen, making fourteen appearances during the 2000–01 season as the club finished 10th. He then returned to MSV Duisburg, where he made over 50 appearances in the next two seasons as the club finished in mid-table in the second tier. He spent the first half of the 2003–04 season without a club before joining Dutch Eerste Divisie side MVV, where he would spent the next two and a half years. He returned to Germany in 2006, joining Wormatia Worms of the Oberliga Südwest, but retired shortly after the beginning of the 2006–07 season.
Coaching career
After retirement, Kienle returned to VfB Stuttgart as a youth coach, before taking up a similar position with Bayern Munich in 2012. In October 2013, he took his first senior management job, replacing Peter Vollmann at SV Wehen Wiesbaden. By co-incidence, two of his former MSV Duisburg team-mates, Dietmar Hirsch and Horst Steffen, had begun their managerial careers in the same division during the same season.
