Club career

Poschner was born in Dumitra, Romania. At the age of five, his family fled the country to escape the communist regime and moved abroad to Bietigheim-Bissingen, West Germany. [2] [3] He began his professional career in 1987–88 with VfB Stuttgart, where he played three seasons with little impact in the first team (an average of 15 Bundesliga appearances). [4] [5]

Poschner emerged as a top-flight player with Borussia Dortmund, scoring 14 league goals from 1990 to 1994 and losing, for the second time, the UEFA Cup. He returned to Stuttgart for four and a half additional campaigns, helping the side win the 1997 edition of the DFB-Pokal [6] and moving to S.S.C. Venezia from Italy in January 1999; [7] additionally, whilst with the former club, in the 1998 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final against Chelsea, he was sent off for dissent late on to put both teams down to ten men, with Dan Petrescu having been ejected beforehand in a 0–1 loss in Stockholm. [8] [9]

Subsequently, Poschner played with Rayo Vallecano, [10] [11] SK Rapid Wien, Polideportivo Ejido [12] and TSV 1860 München, before retiring at the age of almost 35. In 1999–2000 he helped Madrid's Rayo [13] to a best-ever classification in La Liga (ninth), and they were eventually awarded a place in European competition via the Fair Play award, [14] [15] eventually reaching the quarter-finals with the midfielder being an important element. [16]

Poschner was named Real Zaragoza's general manager in August 2009. [17] He left the post at the end of the season, [18] and went to work in the same capacity with 1860 Munich. [19] [20]

Hertha BSC's 2006–07 season began on 16 July, with their UEFA Intertoto Cup match against FC Moscow, and ended on 19 May, with their Bundesliga match against Eintracht Frankfurt. They were one of 11 winners of the UEFA Intertoto Cup. In the UEFA Cup, and in the DFB-Ligapokal they were eliminated in the first round. They made it as far as the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal, and finished tenth in the Bundesliga.

The 2009–10 DFB-Pokal was the 67th season of the annual German football cup competition. The competition began with the first round on 31 July 2009 and ended on 15 May 2010 with the final which is traditionally held at Olympiastadion in Berlin. Since the cup winner, Bayern Munich, completed the double by also winning the German championship, and the runner-up, Werder Bremen, qualified for the Champions League, VfB Stuttgart, the sixth-placed team of the championship, qualified for the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round instead.

FC Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga and the German domestic cup, following a season without trophies in the year before. Despite the 16-point margin to the second-placed VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga, the season was not regarded as a complete success due to a humiliating run in the UEFA Champions League, where the club earned only two points from six matches. Even though it arguably had the toughest group of all, with Milan, Deportivo de La Coruña and Lens as opponents, early elimination was still not expected with signings such as Michael Ballack, Zé Roberto and Sebastian Deisler, and incumbents such as the 2002 FIFA World Cup's player of the tournament Oliver Kahn in the squad.

The 2012–13 DFB-Pokal was the 70th season of the annual German football cup competition.

The defending champions were Borussia Dortmund, but they were beaten by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. Bayern Munich went on to win the competition, defeating VfB Stuttgart 3–2 in the final, ultimately going on to conquer the continental treble. As runners-up, VfB Stuttgart have qualified for the third qualifying round of the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League, since Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga and thus gained the right to compete in the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League.

The 2012–13 Borussia Mönchengladbach season was the 113th season in the club's football history. In 2012–13 the club played in the Bundesliga, the top tier of German football. It was the club's fifth consecutive season in this league, having been promoted from the 2. Bundesliga in 2008.
