At the age of 17, he left athletics behind him, playing club football with hometown side SV Rodenbach near Kaiserslautern. On 10 April 1976, Ribbeck brought him on as a sub in a 4–3 win over FC Bayern Munich. He resigned from that job in October 1997 following a hefty question of authority with the team's manager, Otto Rehhagel.

To date he is the most successful coach of Albania of all times because of the number of points per match in the two qualifiers UEFA Euro 2004 Qualifications and the FIFA World Cup 2006 Qualification. However, Briegel’s passion couldn’t be contained.

What sets Briegel apart is his background as a track and field athlete.Before dominating the soccer field, he excelled in events that demanded coordination, speed, and agility.

His discipline, honed both within the family and during strenuous training, enabled him to make effective use of every element of his athletic toolbox. The same year Briegel was named Fußballer des Jahres (Footballer of the Year) in Germany, remarkable as he was the first foreign-based awardee in the history of the award.

Subsequent to the end of his contract at Hellas Verona, Briegel changed clubs to join fellow Italian top division outfit U.C.

Sampdoria of Genoa with whom he won the Coppa Italia before his retirement as a player in 1988.

He recalls those early days with a touch of nostalgia:

On the meadow behind our farm. Before his soccer career took flight, he excelled in several track and field disciplines, most notably the long jump and hurdle events. Consider the parallels to athletes like Bo jackson or Deion Sanders, who famously juggled careers in both professional baseball and football.

My father banned me to play in the club as he thought you’ll get on my bones.

This initial reluctance from his father, fearing injury, highlights a common concern for parents, whether in Europe or the U.S., when their children pursue contact sports. Ribbeck was aware that Briegel struggled to combine football need with his physical power and presence, but as practice makes perfect, Briegel was improving.

With his team-mates aware, all moving forward quickly before that pass happened (to put the Argentinian striker offside), Briegel's hesitation worked as backfire for the West Germans, giving Burruchaga the chance to pounce decisively on them. Before him are Bastian Schweinsteiger (1984), Philipp Lahm (1983), Bernd Hölzenbein (1946), Rainer Bonhof (1952), Manfred Kaltz (1953), and Joachim Streich (1951).

She also benefited me in football, for example with head balls.

His experience in track and field honed his coordination, a crucial asset for any soccer player, particularly when it came to aerial duels. briegel’s athleticism translated seamlessly to the soccer pitch:

Especially coordination.

He resigned from the role on 9 May 2006, after the extension of the contract offered him by the Albanian Federation was linked to the results that would be obtained.

In June 2006 he agreed to a deal with the Football Association of Bahrain, taking over the Bahrain squad from Luka Peruzović. Read more on Wikipedia
