Vladimír Weiss (born 22 September 1964) is a Slovak football manager and former player. He currently serves as the manager of Slovan Bratislava, in his second spell with the club.[1] He was the manager of the Georgian national team from 2016 to 2020, also managing Slovakia between 2008 and 2012.[2]
Playing career
[edit]Weiss played for Inter Bratislava at club level. At international level, he played for the national teams of Czechoslovakia, playing at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, later Slovakia at international level.[3]
Coaching career
[edit]As the coach of Artmedia Bratislava Weiss won the Slovak Corgoň Liga in 2005. He then took the club through three qualifying rounds of the 2005–06 season of the UEFA Champions League and reached the group stage,[4] becoming just the second Slovak team to qualify for the Champions League group stage after Košice in 1997.[5] He moved to Russia and managed FC Saturn Moscow Oblast from February 2006 to June 2007.
In July 2008, Weiss was appointed head coach of the Slovakia national team, taking over from Ján Kocian.[4] On 14 October 2009, he led the team to the historic success of Slovakia's first-ever qualification for a major tournament as an independent nation, with Slovakia winning the qualifying group for the 2010 FIFA World Cup thanks to beating Poland 1–0 away in the final qualifying game.[6] On 24 June 2010, he led his Slovakia side to the World Cup last 16 after a 3–2 win over Italy.[7] In late January 2012, he parted ways with Slovakia on his own accord following the team's failure to qualify for UEFA Euro 2012.[8] He then continued as the manager of Slovan Bratislava, having started that job alongside that of the Slovakia national team in August 2011. In July 2012 he signed a new one-year contract to continue,[9] however by the end of the month Slovan had won just one of three league matches and been eliminated from the preliminary rounds of the UEFA Europa League. He announced his resignation on 29 July.[10]
Weiss then worked in Kazakhstan, in the football club of Almaty, FC Kairat, which is very famous throughout the CIS. He left Kairat at the end of November 2015, having won the Kazakhstan Cup twice during his tenure.[11] Weiss took over as manager of the Georgia national team in March 2016.[12] He announced his resignation in November 2020 after Georgia lost the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying play-offs to North Macedonia.[13]
Weiss returned to Slovakia, signing a five-year contract with former club Slovan Bratislava in May 2021.[14]
Personal life
[edit]His son, also named Vladimír Weiss, plays for Slovan Bratislava, having also appeared in Premier League, La Liga and Serie A. His father, also named Vladimír Weiss, was a footballer who represented Czechoslovakia and is a silver Olympic medalist from 1964 Summer Olympics.
As a young man in socialist Czechoslovakia, Weiss completed his compulsory military service in Komárno.[15]
