'''Christian Ziege''' ({{IPA|de|ˈkʁɪsti̯a(ː)n ˈtsiːɡə}}; born 1 February 1972) is a German football manager and former player. He most recently coached FC Pinzgau.
Ziege started his playing career at Bayern Munich, where he won two Bundesliga titles and a UEFA Cup before moving to AC Milan, winning an Italian ''Scudetto''. In 1999, he joined Middlesbrough of the English Premier League, where he was voted the club's Player of the Year in his only season.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/1194891.stm|title=Premier League to solve Ziege row|date=28 February 2001|access-date=27 April 2014|work=BBC}}</ref> A year later, he joined Liverpool and was part of the squad that won a treble of the Football League Cup, the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup in 2000–01. In 2001, he moved to Tottenham Hotspur, before ending his career back in Germany with Borussia Mönchengladbach.
With the Germany national team, Ziege won UEFA Euro 1996 and finished runner-up at the 2002 FIFA World Cup. He also represented the country at UEFA Euro 2000, UEFA Euro 2004 and the 1998 FIFA World Cup. An attacking left wing-back, Ziege was considered a dead-ball specialist.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Football%3A+England+must+be+Gladiators+and+put+them+to+the+sword+HOW...-a065821344 |title=Football: England must be Gladiators and put them to the sword HOW THEY LINE UP; ENGLAND v GERMANY AT WEMBLEY, TODAY, 3P SAYS TONY ADAMS. – Free Online Library |publisher=Thefreelibrary.com |access-date=3 September 2011}}</ref>
==Playing career==
===Club career=== At club level, Ziege played for Bayern Munich (1990–97),<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.rsssf.org/players/ziegedata.html | title = Christian Ziege - Matches and Goals in Bundesliga | first = Matthias | last = Arnhold | date = 14 January 2016 | access-date = 22 January 2016 | publisher = Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation}}</ref> AC Milan (1997–99) and Middlesbrough (1999–2000). The reason he left Milan was his conflict with manager Alberto Zaccheroni, who later reflected: "my biggest regret there [at Milan] was Christian Ziege. I tried to convince Ziege to play as a wing-back. I was sure he could have been great in that role. He had the technical ability of a number 10 – a great left foot with which he could score goals and provide assists – but he could also run up and down for 90 minutes. He never fully accepted the idea of not playing as a left-back, however, and after leaving AC Milan he didn’t have a great career".<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.coachesvoice.com/cv/alberto-zaccheroni-udinese-milan-inter-juventus/ | title = Longreads On the Front Foot ALBERTO ZACCHERONI | first = Alberto | last = Zaccheroni | date = March 2022 | access-date = 24 August 2024 | publisher = The Coaches' Voice}}</ref>
In the summer of 2000, Liverpool made a £5.5m bid which exactly matched a get-out clause in Ziege's contract. Middlesbrough insisted they had received offers in excess of £8m for Ziege, but were forced contractually to allow Ziege to talk to Liverpool, who then signed him.<ref>{{cite news|date=29 August 2000|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/901957.stm|title=Ziege cleared for Reds|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=30 June 2007}}</ref> He made his debut for Liverpool in a 3–2 home win over Manchester City on 9 September 2000, replacing Steven Gerrard in the second half. A combination of knee injuries and the improving form of Jamie Carragher,<ref>[http://www.squarefootball.net/articwele/inbrief.asp?iid=1042 Whatever Happened to: Christian Ziege<!-- Bot generated title -->]{{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> meant he was transferred to Tottenham Hotspur at the end of that season. He scored two goals during his spell at Liverpool; against Leeds in the league<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/1006644.stm|title=Four-midable Viduka stuns Liverpool|publisher=BBC|date=4 November 2000 |access-date=2 November 2009}}</ref> and Stoke in the League Cup.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/worthington_cup/1045418.stm|title=Liverpool blast eight at Stoke|publisher=BBC|date=29 November 2000 |access-date=2 November 2009}}</ref> Ziege also contributed to their treble in the 2000–01 season. He came on as an extra time substitute in the 2001 Football League Cup Final and scored a penalty in the shootout as Liverpool defeated Birmingham City, but he was not part of the match days squads for either the 2001 FA Cup Final or 2001 UEFA Cup Final.
On 14 March 2002, Liverpool were fined £20,000 by The Football Association for having made an illegal approach for Ziege when he had been at Middlesbrough. The player himself was fined £10,000.<ref>{{cite news|date=14 March 2002|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/1872311.stm|title=Liverpool handed Ziege fine|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=30 June 2007}}</ref> Whilst at Spurs, he scored in the 2002 Football League Cup Final but he ended up on the losing side. However, by this time Ziege's injury problems were escalating, and by 2004 his contract was terminated by mutual consent so he could return to Germany.
Ziege returned to Germany with Borussia Mönchengladbach in June 2004,<ref>{{cite news|date=9 June 2004|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/3790591.stm|title=Ziege returns to Bundesliga|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=30 June 2007}}</ref> but announced his retirement in October 2005, having not played since the previous December due to a persistent ankle injury.<ref>{{cite news|date=20 October 2005|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4315722.stm|title=Injury forces Ziege to end career|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=30 June 2007}}</ref>
===International career=== Ziege was capped 72 times for Germany, scoring nine goals.<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/ziege-intl.html | title = Christian Ziege - International Appearances | first = Matthias | last = Arnhold | date = 14 January 2016 | access-date = 22 January 2016 | publisher = Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation}}</ref> Other than the Euro 96 win, he also played for his country at the 1998 and 2002 World Cups (during which he played the final game and sported a rather amusing mohawk), as well as Euro 2000 (he was a member of the Euro 2004 squad, but didn't play). Ziege was not initially named in Rudi Völler's UEFA Euro 2004 squad,<ref>{{cite news|title=Voeller names Germany squad |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/euro_2004/germany/3746235.stm|access-date=16 October 2015|publisher=BBC|date=25 May 2004}}</ref> but was then called up after an injury to Christian Rahn.<ref>{{cite news|title=Germany call up Ziege |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/euro_2004/germany/3749717.stm|access-date=16 October 2015|publisher=BBC|date=27 May 2004}}</ref>
==Managerial career==
===Borussia Mönchengladbach=== Following retirement as a player, Ziege picked up his UEFA diploma for coaching. In 2006, he moved into coaching with his last professional club, Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he was named manager of the club's Under-17 team, succeeding Thomas Schumacher. In 2006–07 the club's U17 team had won ten out of seventeen matches with Ziege in charge when, in March 2007, he was handed the role of Director of Football at the club, as the replacement for the outgoing Peter Pander.<ref>{{cite news|date=8 March 2007|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/6433147.stm|title=Ziege clinches new Borussia role|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=30 June 2007}}</ref> At the time of his appointment, with ten matches to go until the end of the season, Borussia Mönchengladbach were at the bottom of the Bundesliga, with five points between them and safety. On 5 October 2008, Ziege dismissed Jos Luhukay and became interim manager.<ref name=borussiamoenchengladbachjob>{{cite news|title=Luhukay entlassen – Ziege übernimmt vorerst|url=https://www.kicker.de/luhukay-entlassen---ziege-uebernimmt-vorerst-383583/artikel|access-date=10 March 2013|newspaper=kicker|date=5 October 2008|language=de}}</ref> The interim job lasted until 18 October 2008 when Hans Meyer became the new permanent manager.<ref name=newjobborussiamoenchengladbach>{{cite news|title=Meyer wieder in Gladbach|url=https://www.kicker.de/meyer-wieder-in-gladbach-384162/artikel|access-date=10 March 2013|newspaper=kicker|date=19 October 2008|language=de}}</ref> On 15 December 2008 Ziege left Borussia Mönchengladbach.
