Playing career
editAfter three years playing in Germany, Beichler returned to Austria in 2013 to sign with Sturm Graz.[1]
He joined SKN St. Pölten in the Austrian Football First League for the start of the 2015–16 season.[2]
Managerial career
editIn April 2024, Beichler became caretaker manager of FC Liefering until the end of the season.[3] Because Cinel stayed in the staff of Red Bull Salzburg, Beichler was promoted to head coach of FC Liefering.[4]
On 18 February 2026, he was appointed manager of Red Bull Salzburg.[5] At the time of his takeover, the "Bulls" were tied for first place with LASK. Under Beichler's leadership, however, Salzburg plummeted to third place, achieving their worst result since Red Bull's takeover in 2005. As a consequence, Beichler was dismissed in May 2026 after 14 games in charge.[6]
