Gerhard Hans Poschner (born 23 September 1969) is a German retired professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Poschner was born in Dumitra, Romania. At the age of five, his family fled the country to escape the communist regime and moved abroad to Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany. He began his professional career in 1987–88 with VfB Stuttgart, where he played three seasons with little impact in the first team (an average of 15 Bundesliga appearances).

Poschner emerged as a top flight player with Borussia Dortmund, scoring 14 league goals from 1990 to 1994 and losing, for the second time, the UEFA Cup. He returned to Stuttgart for four and a half additional campaigns, helping the side win the 1997 edition of the DFB-Pokal. However, in the 1998 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final, he was sent off for dissent late on. This put both teams down to 10 men, with Chelsea's Dan Petrescu having been sent off beforehand. ^[1] Chelsea eventually won the game 1-0. Poschner moved to S.S.C. Venezia of Italy in January 1999.

Subsequently, Poschner played with Rayo Vallecano, SK Rapid Wien, Polideportivo Ejido and TSV 1860 München, before retiring at the age of almost 35. In 1999–2000 he helped Madrid's Rayo to its best-ever classification in La Liga (ninth), and the club was eventually awarded a place in European competition via the Fair Play award, after which it reached the quarterfinals with the midfielder being an important element.

After a spell as a commentator, Poschner was named Real Zaragoza's director of football in August 2009. He left the post at the end of the 2009–10 season.
