Alexander Stolz (German pronunciation: [alɛkˈsandɐ ˈʃtɔlts];[1] born 13 October 1983) is a German former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.[2]

Playing career

Stolz was born in Pforzheim. He joined VfB Stuttgart from the Regionalliga side FC Nöttingen during summer 2005, initially playing for the club's reserve team. During the 2006–07 season, the club loaned him out to TSG Hoffenheim.

He eventually made his first-team debut for Stuttgart in July 2008, playing in both of their UEFA Intertoto Cup matches against FC Saturn. On 5 March 2009, Stolz extended his contract at Stuttgart until summer 2012.[3]

On 24 January 2012, Stolz moved to Karlsruher SC,[4] where he played for six months.

Coaching career

On 5 June 2020, Hoffenheim confirmed that Stolz would play for the club's reserve team, combined with a role as goalkeeper coach in the club's academy.[5] But two months later, on 11 September 2020, the club confirmed that Stolz had hung up his boots and would continue as goalkeeper coach of the club's reserve team.[6] After Michael Rechner moved to Bayern Munich in February 2023, Stolz was promoted to the first team staff.[7] On 20 June 2025, Stolz left his role as goalkeeping coach at his own request for personal reasons and was replaced by Marjan Petkovic.[8]
