[5] After two seasons with Schweinfurt, he signed with 1860 Munich in the 3. Liga in the summer of 2018, where he made his professional debut on the first day of the season in a match against 1.

[7] [8] He played 15 matches for Klagenfurt in the 2020–21 season, helping the team gain promotion to the Austrian Bundesliga. He appeared in 11 matches in the top tier of Austrian football before suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in December 2021, which sidelined him for the rest of the season. Paul left Klagenfurt after the 2021–22 season. [9]

In January 2023, Paul joined Regionalliga Bayern club FC Pipinsried as a player, after having already become the team's player coach in November 2022. [10] After the club suffered relegation from the Regionalliga at the end of the season, Paul joined the second team of his youth club FC Ingolstadt 04 II, competing in the Bayernliga Nord. [11]

Managerial career

On 22 December 2022, Paul was appointed the new head coach of FC Pipinsried after former coach Frank Peuker had quit after only five days in charge. Paul also continued as a player of the club. [13] He left after the club suffered relegation to the Bayernliga Süd at the end of the season. [14]

Personal life

In an interview with tz from 2019, Herbert discussed how he struggled to find a team after his contract with Bayern Munich ended, leading to a period of unemployment. He uses meditation as a tool for mental preparation and self-reflection, something he began doing during his time with 1860 Munich to focus and stay calm under pressure. [4]
