I would like to firstly apologise at my hiatus from the Switzerland World Cup blog, as technical difficulties on my side had resulted in me not being to access my pages. But now…I’m back.
Thanks to all those that read part one of the series, and I’m glad to present the next installment at my look at Ottmar Hitzfeld’s illustrious footballing career.
Today I bring you a look at the days that Hitzfeld was a player.
Above, we see Ottmar playing for the national team in the 1972 Olympic games, hosted in Munich.
- CLUB CAREER:
During his 16-year professional career, Hitzfeld played as a striker, earning him a respectable goal return across clubs in Germany and Switzerland.
At lower-league teams such as TuS Stetten and FV Lörrach, Hitzfeld had built up himself as a reliable goal-scorer, ultimately earning him a break in Switzerland when the scouts at FC Basel had picked him up.
At Basel, Hitzfeld was able to pick up the Swiss League Winners’ medal twic in 1972 and 1973, as well as a Cup Winner’s medal in 1975. The club had come to rely heavily on the striker – as can be seen through his achievements in the 1972/1973 season where he finished the year as top-scorer in Switzerland.
