Playing career

During his playing career, Kronsteiner had played with DSV Leoben,[2] Wacker Innsbruck, Red Bull Salzburg, LASK Linz, and Rapid Lienz.[3] While with Wacker, he won two Austrian Bundesliga titles and participated in the UEFA Cup.[3]

Post playing career

After his playing days were over, Kronsteiner spent the majority of his time as a Director of Sports for Casino Salzburg, and FK Austria Vienna, where he had worked with and hired reputable names such as Hans Backe and Joachim Löw.[3]

Fort Lauderdale Strikers

On 17 July 2013 it was announced that Kronsteiner had signed as the head coach of the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League.[3] Despite leading the Strikers to a surprise Soccer Bowl appearance, the new team ownership announced Kronsteiner would not be returning for 2015.[4]

Kronsteiner rejoined the Strikers as head coach on 30 June 2015. This came after head coach Marcelo Neveleff resigned after nine Spring Season games.[5]

The Fort Lauderdale Strikers didn't want Gunter back the following season. A controversial and prideful figure, the organization and Gunter ended their relationship.

Gunter Kronsteiner is now in Slovakia.
