Michael Feichtenbeiner is a German football coach.
After playing for amateur teams of TV Gültstein, SV Vaihingen and FV Germania Degerloch, Feichtenbeiner started coaching in VfB Stuttgart as youth coach. A spell as head coach at Swiss club BSC Old Boys Basel and assistant coach at Stuttgarter Kickers followed, before he was appointed as head coach of TSF Ditzingen. From 1993 to 1997 he oversaw the promotion of the club from Oberliga Baden-Württemberg to Regionalliga Süd. Feichtenbeiner then becomes the assistant coach for KFC Uerdingen 05 in 1997, and head coach of SC Pfullendorf in 1998.
In the summer of 1999 Feichtenbeiner was appointed as head coach of Stuttgarter Kickers, his first job as head coach of a 2. Bundesliga club. Under his charge, the club were making waves in the DFB Cup, defeating three Bundesliga clubs (Borussia Dortmund, Arminia Bielefeld and SC Freiburg) en route to the semi-finals where they were finally eliminated by Werder Bremen after extra time. However the club's league form were poor, and Feichtenbeiner were sacked in March 2000 having only gained 21 points from 24 matches and left the club in the relegation zone.
Feichtenbeiner later coached several Regionalliga Süd teams (SV Darmstadt 98, Rot-Weiß Erfurt, Sportfreunde Siegen) before coaching in Malaysia for MPPJ FC in 2005, saving them from relegation to Malaysia Premier League. After surprisingly been sacked by MPPJ FC in early 2006 while the club were leading the Malaysia Super League, he was reappointed as head coach of SC Pfullendorf in late 2006.
