Otto Faist, born on 11 March 1903 in Karlsruhe and died on 1 February 1946, was a German track and field sprinter who later became a football coach. Running for Karlsruher FC Phoenix, he specialised in the short and medium distances, winning German championship honours in 1926 with the club's sprint relay and setting German and European club relay records, and he was a member of the German national athletics team in 1925 and 1926. An injury kept him from the 1928 Olympic Games. He then coached football, leading the Bulgarian national team to the 1931 Balkan Cup and guiding FC Schalke 04 to German championships in 1939, 1940 and 1942. Drafted into the Wehrmacht in the Second World War, he was taken prisoner by the Soviets and died in a prison camp in the Ukrainian SSR.
