Club career
Stöger started his career at Favoritner AC Wien and played 6 years for FK Austria Wien from 1988 through 1994, winning the league three years in a row. After a year at FC Tirol Innsbruck, he joined SK Rapid Wien in 1995 and won a league title with them. He also played in the 1996 UEFA Cup Winners Cup Final against Paris St Germain in Brussels, which Rapid lost. He then returned to Austria after a year at LASK Linz and finished his career at 38 years of age with SC Untersiebenbrunn.
International career
He made his debut for Austria in February 1988 against Switzerland, missed out on the 1990 FIFA World Cup but was a participant at the 1998 FIFA World Cup. He earned 65 caps, scoring 15 goals. His last international was a March 1999 friendly match, also against Switzerland.
Austria
Stöger, along with Frenkie Schinkels, became manager of Austria Wien on 6 May 2005 and was scheduled to end his role at the end of the season. However, Stöger continued in the position until December 2005. Stöger eventually moved to First Vienna FC, Grazer AK, and SC Wiener Neustadt. Stöger returned to manage Austria Wien on 30 May 2012, stayed for one year and celebrated the Austrian championship with a record number of points despite Red Bull still investing much more money.
1. FC Köln
Stöger and his Co Manfred Schmid were bought out of their contracts for 700'000 EUR and a friendly, and thus started at 1. FC Köln on 11 June 2013. The billy goats improved under Stögers tenure continuously. From 33 points in the first half in the second league to 35 in the second half followed by promotion. The next half in the German top flight ended with 19 points, followed by 22 points. First half of 2015/16 ended with 24 points. In January 2016 Stöger and his Co Manfred Schmid let his contract be extended to 2020, including a buy-out clause. The second half of the season was less good with 19 points, but Köln finished on a single-digit rank the first time in 24 years.
