Andreas Ibertsberger (born 27 July 1982) is an Austrian former professional footballer who played as a left-back. He was a member of the Austria national team. Ibertsberger is a younger brother of former national team player Robert Ibertsberger whose career was cut short by injury.

Club career

Ibertsberger played for SC Freiburg, for whom he signed from Austria Salzburg in January 2005.[1] In January 2008, he moved to 1899 Hoffenheim, with whom he originally signed a pre-contract agreement for the 2008–09 season.[2] With smalltown club Hoffenheim he won promotion to the German Bundesliga.

On 15 May 2012, Ibertsberger's contract with Hoffenheim expired, after missing the vast majority of the 2011–12 season with a chronic back problem.[3]

International career

Ibertsberger made his debut for Austria in an October 2004 World Cup qualification match against Northern Ireland. He earned 14 caps, scoring one goal.

Coaching career

Ahead of the 2014–15 season, Ibertsberger became the new assistant coach at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim's second team.[4]

Ibertsberger was at Kiel until summer 2019, where he, ahead of the 2019–20 season, became U19 coach at Eintracht Frankfurt.[5] They finished the season on a sixth place in the A-Junior Bundesliga South/Southwest. Ahead of the upcoming 2020–21 season, he instead became assistant coach of the same team under Jürgen Kramny.[6] The duo left Eintracht at the end of the 2021/22 season.[7]
