Club career

[edit]

Born in Dinkelsbühl, Reuter started his career with local side TSV 1860 Dinkelsbühl. In 1982, he played for 1. FC Nürnberg, first in the 2. Bundesliga and, from 1985, in the Bundesliga. In exactly 100 games he scored ten goals. He was occasionally used as a right sided midfielder.

In 1988, he was transferred to Bayern Munich. He played 95 games in the Bundesliga and scored four goals for the Bavarians. He won the Bundesliga title with Bayern in 1988–89 and 1989–90.

A proposed move to Liverpool following West Germany's victorious World Cup campaign was turned down at the last minute with Reuter following many of his compatriots to Italy. From 1991 to 1992 he played for Juventus, but soon returned to Germany, joining Borussia Dortmund. With Borussia, Reuter won the Bundesliga in 1994–95, 1995–96 and 2001–02, and the UEFA Champions League in 1996–97. The team also reached the final of the UEFA Cup in both 1993 and 2002. Overall, he played 307 games for Dortmund and scored 11 goals in the Bundesliga before retiring in 2004.[2]

International career

[edit]

In 1984, Reuter was part of the team that won the U-16 European Championship, held in Germany from 3 to 5 May 1984, after the team had won the group in qualifying and the quarterfinals against the Netherlands. The semi-finals in Heilbronn ended in a 5-1 win over Yugoslavia, and in the final on 5 May in Ulm he secured (as a substitute) with the team the U-16 title by beating the Soviet Union 2-0 -European Champion.[3]

He also played for the U-18 national team (seven times in a row after his debut on 14 January 1985 in Leningrad - as part of the Granatkin memorial tournament - in a 5-1 victory over Poland), as well as for the U-21 National team, for which he made his debut on 24 September 1985 in Eskilstuna in the 1-2 defeat by Sweden and also scored two goals in the process. He also took part in the military world championships in Italy in 1987 with the Bundeswehr national team and finished second.[4] On 18 April 1987, Reuter played for the senior national team for the first time. In the 0-0 draw against Italy in Cologne, his first of 69 appearances began with the substitution of Wolfgang Rolff in the 63rd minute. He scored his first of two international goals on 12 December 1987 in Brasília against Brazil in the 90th minute to a 1-1 draw.[5]

He later won the 1990 World Cup, as well as the Euro 1996. At Euro 1996 he scored one of the penalties in the semi-final shootout against England, however like Andreas Möller he was suspended for the final.[6]

In 1992, Reuter became the first player in the European Championship history to be substituted as a substitute, when during the match between Germany and Scotland, he replaced Karl-Heinz Riedle but then only seven minutes later he had to leave the field due to an injury, and was replaced by Michael Schulz.[7]

His last game was the first round match against the USA, played in Paris on 15 June 1998, which he won 2-0.[8] As a member of the 1990 World Cup football team, he received the Silver Laurel Leaf.[9]

From 1 July 2004 to 3 January 2005, Reuter worked as a management assistant at Borussia Dortmund in the area of sponsorship. Reuter served as team manager for TSV 1860 Munich from January 2006 to 2 February 2009 when he was removed from the job. After the termination without notice of his colleague Stefan Ziffzer, who was responsible for finance, Reuter was the sole managing director for three months from 13 May 2008 until Markus Kern was appointed as additional managing director on 13 August 2008. On 2 February 2009, Miroslav Stević was introduced as the new sports director at TSV 1860. A day later, Reuter rejected an offer to continue working in management with limited skills as unacceptable and was then suspended with immediate effect.[10] His contract expired on 30 June 2009.[11]

On 27 February 2012, he was appointed as general manager of FC Augsburg.[12][13] Under Reuter's tenure, FC Augsburg qualified for the UEFA Europa League for the first time in the club's history in the 2014/15 season.[14]
