Richard Kohn (February 27, 1888 – 1963) was an Austrian football player and later coach of FC Bayern Munich and Feyenoord Rotterdam. He was Jewish, born in Vienna. His nickname was Dombi or Little Dombi, meaning little eminence. He was also known as Jack Domby[1] and Ricardo Domby.

Career as player

Before World War I he played for Wiener AC and Wiener AF. Kohn was renowned for his good technique. He had seven appearances for the Austrian national team (1907–1912) and scored two times.[2]

Career as coach

Little is known about the early years of his career. Teams of his career probably include Gradjanski Zagreb, and Sportfreunde Stuttgart.

From the late 1920s to the early 1930s he managed VfR Mannheim and Hertha BSC, from 1924 to 1925.[3] He then went to First Vienna FC[4][5] which he left for Barcelona for a first stint from February 1926 to 1927. He afterwards left for TSV 1860 Munich, FC Bayern Munich, convincing the gifted player Oskar Rohr to join him there. With Rohr and Conny Heidkamp he formed a strong team in Munich and in 1932 won the German championship with Bayern in a final victory against Eintracht Frankfurt.

After the Nazis rise to power, the Jew Kohn left Germany for Barcelona[6], and later went to Switzerland where he coached Basel. From 1935[7] to 1939 and 1951 to 1955 he managed Feyenoord Rotterdam, winning the Dutch league in 1935-36 and 1937-38. He acted as a coach and physio, and was known for magical potions, which helped to cure injured players.[8]
