Club career

A central midfielder with incredible passing, Kühbauer started his professional career at Admira Wacker, making his Austrian Football Bundesliga debut in 1987, at 16 years of age. After 5 years he moved to city rivals Rapid Wien with whom he won a league and domestic cup title. He also played in the 1996 UEFA Cup Winners Cup Final against Paris St Germain in Brussels, which Rapid lost. "Don Didi" is still considered a star among the Rapid fans. In 1999 he was chosen in Rapid's Team of the Century.

In 1997 he moved abroad to join La Liga side Real Sociedad and in 2000 he signed for German Bundesliga outfit VfL Wolfsburg. Two years later, he returned to Austria to play for his childhood team SV Mattersburg where he finished his playing career after the 2007/2008 season.[1]

International career

He made his debut for Austria in a May 1992 friendly match against Poland and was a participant at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.[2] He earned 55 caps, scoring 5 goals.[3] On September 4, 2005 he announced his retirement from international matches. His final international was a September 2005 World Cup qualification match against Poland.

Personal tragedy

On 16 February 1997, Kühbauer's three months-pregnant wife Michaela drove to Schwechat to pick him up after Rapid had enjoyed a winter break in Dubai. Tragedy happened when her car slewed off the road near Eisenstadt and she was rushed to hospital, with three ribs having punctured her lung. She fell into a coma and died a half year later. A disillusionised Kühbauer then left Austria to start a new career abroad.

Coaching career

On 18 November 2008 he signed a contract by Trenkwalder Admira II as Head Coach. 2010 he became coach of the first squad and led the team to the promotion to the Austrian Football Bundesliga[1].
