About Carsten Jancker
Carsten Jancker (born 28 August 1974) is a German football coach and former player. He played as a forward for various teams between 1993 and 2009, including 1. FC Köln, Rapid Wien, Bayern Munich, Udinese Calcio, FC Kaiserslautern, Shanghai Shenhua, and SV Mattersburg, as well as the Germany national team. == Club career == Born in Grevesmühlen, Jancker started his career as a trainee at Hansa Rostock before making his Bundesliga debut in 1993 with 1. FC Köln. At the age of 21, he was transferred to Rapid Wien, scoring fourteen goals including seven in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup to finish as the tournament's top scorer. Thanks to this impressive performance, Jancker spent only one season with the Austrian club before being brought back to Germany to play for Bayern Munich. Jancker's time at Bayern between 1996 and 2002 was the best period of his career, a spell which included four Bundesliga titles and victory in the 2001 UEFA Champions League. At Bayern, Jancker was partnered with the Brazilian inside-forward Giovane Élber, often rated as one of the Bundesliga's best attacking players. Jancker left Bayern for Italian side Udinese in 2002, but the move was not a success; over two seasons and 35 games, the forward registered only two goals.
