Career

He was born to ethnic Banat Swabians parents, Franz and Anna Müller in Timișoara, and started to play handball for the local team Poli Timișoara in 1976. Four years later he left the country with his family because of the hard times under the communist regime in Romania, and settled in Germany.[1] He continued his playing career at TSG Augsburg, where he ended his career in 1988.[5]

He began coaching in 1984 at Augsburg, while he was still a player. In 1999 he took the hot seat of 1. FC Nürnberg, with whom he achieved his biggest successes, winning two domestic championships and two domestic cup titles. He also won the EHF Challenge Cup in 2004.[1][5]

In 2008, Müller became the head coach of the Romanian team Rulmentul Brașov. He spent a year and a half with Rulmentul before the club developed financial problems.[1]

Müller moved back to Germany, signing for Thüringer HC in July 2010. He brought the Bundesliga title and the German Cup to THC in 2011 for the first time in the history of the club.[3]
