Jörg Stiel (born 3 March 1968) is a Swiss former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Since June 2021, he has been working as goalkeeper coach of Grasshopper Club Zürich.[1]
Born in Baden, Stiel started his career with FC Wettingen, later playing for FC St. Gallen and FC Zürich in his native country. He also spent a season with Mexican club Toros Neza, before returning to St. Gallen in 1996.
In November 2006, Stiel joined Austrian side SC Rheindorf Altach as goalkeeping coach.[3] On 19 July 2009, he returned to Borussia in the same capacity.[4][5]

International career
Stiel won 21 caps for Switzerland during three-and-a-half years, and was the country's first-choice at UEFA Euro 2004, appearing in all three group games in Portugal. In the 0–3 loss against England, one of the goals came after deflecting from the post onto the back of his head, although it was officially credited to Wayne Rooney.[7]
After the tournament, where he was also named Man of the match in the 0–0 draw with Croatia,[8] Stiel retired from playing altogether.
