Carsten Jancker's Club Journey
Carsten Jancker began his football journey as a young player at F.C. Hansa Rostock. He made his first big league appearance in 1993 with 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga, Germany's top football league.
Playing for Rapid Wien
When he was 21, Jancker moved to SK Rapid Wien in Austria. He had a fantastic season there, scoring fourteen goals. Seven of these goals were in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, making him the top scorer in that tournament. Because of his great performance, he only stayed one season before returning to Germany.
Success with Bayern Munich
Jancker's best years were with FC Bayern Munich from 1996 to 2002. During this time, he helped Bayern win four Bundesliga titles. He also won the prestigious UEFA Champions League in 2001. At Bayern, he often played alongside the talented Brazilian player Giovane Élber.
Moving to Italy and Back to Germany
In 2002, Jancker left Bayern to play for Udinese Calcio in Italy. This move wasn't as successful, and he only scored two goals in two seasons. He then returned to Germany in 2004 to play for 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Here, he scored six goals in one game during a DFB-Pokal (German Cup) match, which is still a record for a single player in that competition! After Kaiserslautern was moved to a lower league in 2006, Jancker played briefly for Shanghai Greenland Shenhua F.C. in China.
Final Years as a Player
Later in 2006, he joined SV Mattersburg in Austria. He played there until 2009. In February 2010, Carsten Jancker announced that he would retire from playing football at the end of that season.
