For 2001–02, Stiel was signed by Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga. He was the undisputed starter throughout his three-season stint in Germany, featuring in 96 matches all competitions comprised and relegating legendary Uwe Kamps to the substitutes bench.[2]
In November 2006, Stiel joined Austrian side SC Rheindorf Altach as goalkeeping coach.[3] On 19 July 2009, he returned to Borussia in the same capacity.[4][5]
Stiel returned to his country in the summer of 2014, going on to work with FC Basel's youths as a goalkeeper coach.[6]
International career

In the 0–3 loss against England, one of the goals came after deflecting from the post onto the back of his head, although it was officially credited to Wayne Rooney.[7]
After the tournament, where he was also named Man of the match in the 0–0 draw with Croatia,[8] Stiel retired from playing altogether.
