Jochen Kientz (born 17 September 1972) is a German retired footballer who played as a central defender. ==Football career== Born in Mannheim, Kientz played youth football at several clubs, including local VfR Mannheim and SV Waldhof Mannheim, but made his professional debuts with Eintracht Frankfurt, with whom he signed in January 1991; during the course of three Bundesliga seasons, he only made one league appearance and, in another winter transfer market move, in 1994, dropped down a division and joined TSV 1860 München. After only seven matches with the ''Lions'', Kientz tried an abroad adventure, playing two seasons in Spain, one apiece with RCD Mallorca and CD Logroñés – the former in Segunda División where he appeared and scored regularly, the latter in the top division, in a season which ended in relegation. In the 1997 summer, he returned to his country and to 1860 Munich, now in the top level, starting in one season and being backup in the other; on 7 November 1998, Kientz scored his first goal in the competition, albeit in a 1–3 derby loss against FC Bayern Munich. After a very brief spell in Greece with Panionios GSS, Kientz signed for Hamburger SV. At the Hanseatic club he played 11 times in the league, also appearing in the 2000–01 UEFA Champions League. During the latter competition, man-marking Zinedine Zidane in a home fixture, he was eventually headbutted by the French, who was sent off – Hamburg won 3–1. In 2001, Kientz signed for HSV neighbours FC St. Pauli, being ejected from a game for the only time in his career, during a 0–2 loss at VfB Stuttgart, as his club eventually ranked last. After two injury-ravaged seasons at F.C. Hansa Rostock (mainly ankle), he was forced to retire at the age of 31. Kientz then worked as a model for ''Amaze Models'', owned by former Eintracht player Patrick Glöckner. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jochen Kientz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
