career
The trained high school teacher Heinz Murach began his football career in August 1953 as a coach at the Lower Saxony Football Association . From March 1956 he continued his work at the Football and Athletics Association of Westphalia , where he stayed until 1959. He was coach of the Lower Rhine Football Association when he 1966 by his time winner of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Borussia Dortmund as the successor of the 1. FC Köln poached Willi Multhaup was hired. Borussia, with its excellent team at the time - including Lothar Emmerich , Sigi Held and Reinhard "Stan" Libuda in the storm - was a championship contender, but started the season very poorly and was soon eliminated from the cup competitions. In the end, however, it was enough for third place in the Bundesliga.
Before the following season, Murach said in the coaching survey: “People think I'm immodest. My tip is Dortmund. ” The Bundesliga season also got off to a strong start, but the black and yellows soon slacked off. At halftime, the Borussia were only in tenth place. In January 1968 Murach announced that he would not extend his contract, which was running out at the end of the season. At the beginning of April, BVB parted ways with TSV 1860 Munich after two consecutive defeats in the Bundesliga only 0-0 at home . He led Borussia to the semi-finals of the DFB Cup with a 2-1 home win over Hertha BSC , but at the subsequent Easter tournament in Vienna, Borussia embarrassed itself again and suffered two defeats. Murach then resigned and made room for Oswald Pfau, who was already his successor . At the end of the season, Borussia finished 14th.
He then coached the regional division Eintracht Gelsenkirchen , where he had to accept relegation to third division in the first year. The decisive factor here were point deductions for the use of an unauthorized player. After the immediate resurgence, he led the team to an excellent fifth place in 1971 - the best placement in the club's history - and in the following year to a secure midfield position.
On the 21st match day of the 1972/73 season he was obliged by the Bundesliga bottom Rot-Weiß Oberhausen and initially exercised the coaching office there in addition to his duties at Eintracht Gelsenkirchen. Murach was there after Günter Brocker and Friedhelm Kobluhn already the third coach in the current season. Murach could not prevent the relegation, RWO was last. He stayed with Rot-Weiß Oberhausen in the following season and led the club to second place in the Regionalliga-West behind SG Wattenscheid 09 , which entitles them to participate in the Bundesliga promotion round . There the Rhinelander only came third behind Tennis Borussia Berlin and FC Augsburg . At RWO, the financial situation was so tense at that time that Murach once saw no other way to secure his salary than to obtain an attachment order.
At the beginning of the 1974/75 season he was obliged by the second division club SpVgg Erkenschwick . The engagement only lasted until matchday 14 - SpVgg was currently only two points away from a relegation place in 14th place. In November he was replaced by his predecessor Fritz Langner . His last major engagement followed in the 1975/76 season when he was committed by Westfalia Herne , also a second division team. In the first season he led the team in tenth place. In the following season he was replaced by Ivica Horvat right after the start of the second half of the season , when Westfalia was only two points away from the relegation zone in 15th place. Horvat finally led the team to a secure eleventh place.
Heinz Murach was a full-time teacher at the Grillo-Gymnasium in Gelsenkirchen, where he also lived after his retirement.
