}}

Daniel Bierofka ({{IPA|de|ˈdaːni̯eːl ˈbiːʁɔfkaː, -ni̯ɛl -}}; born 7 February 1979) is a German football coach and a former player. A former left winger, his playing career had been plagued by injuries which limited his chances of playing more matches for the Germany national squad and forced him to retire after the 2013–14 season.

Club career

Bierofka came through the Bayern Munich youth system and made it to the reserve squad but never played for the senior team. He then transferred to city rival 1860 Munich where he played 55 games in two seasons. Bierofka then moved to Bayer Leverkusen for three years before going over to VfB Stuttgart. In the 2006–07 season, Bierofka won the Bundesliga title with VfB Stuttgart. In June 2007, Bierofka returned to 1860 Munich with the club committing to a deferred payment of €400,000.{{cite web | title = Bierofka und Gentner: Transfers vor Abschluss |trans-title=Bierofka and Gentner: Transfers almost complete | publisher = Kicker | language = de | access-date = 28 November 2007 | date= 11 June 2007 | url = https://www.kicker.de/bierofka-und-gentner_transfers-vor-abschluss-124629/artikel}} In the first three levels of German league pyramid he scored more than 40 goals in almost 340 matches.{{Cite web | url = https://www.rsssf.org/players/dui-bierofkadata.html | title = Daniel Bierofka - Matches and Goals in Bundesliga | first = Matthias | last = Arnhold | date = 23 February 2024 | accessdate = 4 March 2024 | publisher = RSSSF.org}}
