FCU Announces UEFA Pro as New Manager

On 15 August, FC Ulaanbaatar announced the signing of Andreas Spier as head coach for the 2024/2025 Mongolian Premier League season. Born in Bucharest, Romania but spending most of his life in Germany, Spier holds an UEFA Pro license from the German Football Federation. His career spans decades and includes stints with both national and club teams with posts throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia.


Spier's impact was felt immediately as he was on the bench for FCU's opening match of the season on 16 August. The club went on to defeat last year's champions SP Falcons 1-0 thanks to a goal by another new European signing, French defender Enzo Dietrich.


Spier becomes the third European coach in club history, following San Marinese Marco Ragini and Serbian Vojislav Bralusic who left the club in April 2024 with two matches remaining in the season after the relationship between he and club management soured. With the addition of Spier, FC Ulaanbaatar has signaled its intent to return to the top of the table and the AFC Cup after reaching those heights just two seasons ago.


FC Ulaanbaatar is not the German's first assignment in East Asia. From 2018-2019, Spier was stationed in China as a technical director during his time at Eintracht Frankfurt. His role was to prepare coaches and teach stakeholders about the club's philosophy.


In recent years, the German coaching model has been successful in Mongolia with Michael Weiss leading the most successful period in national team history. FC Ulaanbaatar can only hope for at least half that much magic from Weiss's countryman.
