Managerial career

Schopp began his coaching career in the youth system of Red Bull Salzburg following his retirement. [1]

In April 2013, he was named the interim head coach at his former club Sturm Graz until the end of the season, following the sacking of Peter Hyballa.

In 2018, Schopp became the manager of TSV Hartberg in the Austrian Bundesliga. [6] [1] In the 2019–20 season, Schopp led the club to their highest ever finish in the Austrian Bundesliga and secured a place in the UEFA Europa League for the first time in club history.
