Playing career
Managerial career
Early years
From 2012 to 2014 he trained youth teams of his local club SK Bischofshofen. In April 2016 he got the UEFA A-license at the age of 24 .With the beginning of the 2017–18 season he became assistance coach to Janusz Góra und Gerhard Struber for FC Liefering. He also was assistance coach under Bo Svensson. In January 2021 Matthias Jaissle became head coach of Liefering and Ingolitsch head coach of the U18 team.[2] In October 2021 he got the UEFA-Pro-license. At the age of 29 he was the youngest Austrian who did so.[3]
FC Liefering
At the start of the 2022–23 season, Ingolitsch returned to FC Liefering as head coach.[4] The season proved challenging, with Liefering finishing ninth and only securing their league status on the penultimate matchday. Following the conclusion of the campaign, the club and Ingolitsch mutually agreed to end their collaboration.[5]
FC Zürich U21 and Rheindorf Altach
On 27 May 2024, Ingolitsch was appointed head coach of the under-21 team of Swiss club FC Zürich, competing in the third-tier Promotion League.[6] His tenure in Switzerland was short-lived, however, as he returned to Austria later that year.
On 9 October 2024, Ingolitsch was named head coach of Rheindorf Altach, replacing Joachim Standfest at a time when the club was second from bottom in the Austrian Bundesliga table.[7] At Altach, he worked alongside his brother Sandro Ingolitsch, who was part of the club's playing squad.[8]
Despite taking charge of a struggling side, Ingolitsch guided Altach to a second-to-last-place finish, which was sufficient to secure the club's Bundesliga status. In the 2025–26 season, the team reached the winter break in ninth position and recorded the strongest defensive record in the league.[9][10]
Sturm Graz
During the winter break of the 2025–26 season, Ingolitsch moved to league rivals Sturm Graz, where he succeeded Jürgen Säumel as head coach.[11]
Personal life
Ingolitsch is a teacher.[12] He is the older brother of Sandro who plays for Rheindorf Altach in the Austrian Bundesliga.[13]
