Career

Player career

The player, who was used as a defender in the then preferred World Cup system , began his footballing career at Spfr. Hamborn 07 in the D-Jugend and became a contract player at Hamborn at the age of 18 . As a player, he was active for Hamborn, among other things, in the West Football League , the top division at the time. In the 1955/56 season he made his debut with the "Löwen" in what was then the first-class football league West. By the end of the league era in 1963, the tough two-fighter ran for Hamborn in 149 league games. On the last round match day, May 11, 1963, he played his last competitive game for his hometown club in a 4-0 away defeat at the reigning champions 1. FC Cologne alongside other players such as Horst Podlasly , Karl-Heinz Wirth and Werner Rinass . Since Hamborn was unable to qualify for the new Bundesliga from the 1963/64 season, he moved to SSV Reutlingen in the second-rate Regionalliga Süd for the 1963/64 season . In the second year in Reutlingen, 1964/65 , the SSV under coach Georg Wurzer took the runner-up behind champions FC Bayern Munich and thus moved into the Bundesliga promotion round . There the South Vice - Schafstall had played all six group games - one point behind Borussia Mönchengladbach on the rise. By the end of his playing career due to a meniscus injury in January 1973, Schafstall in Reutlingen had made 260 regional league appearances with four goals. He played his last competitive game in the SSV jersey on December 17, 1972 in a 1-0 home win against SpVgg Fürth .

Coaching career

From 1974 his coaching career began at MSV Duisburg as an assistant coach and in the junior division, before he replaced head coach Willibert Kremer in the Bundesliga on March 19, 1976 and at the end of the round he reached 10th place. From 1975 to 1994 he coached the teams of MSV Duisburg, Karlsruher SC , Rot-Weiss Essen , VfL Bochum , FC Schalke 04 , Fortuna Düsseldorf , Bayer 05 Uerdingen , VfL Osnabrück , BSV Stahl Brandenburg , Dynamo Dresden  - his term of office is 57 days the shortest of all previous Dynamo Dresden trainers  , Stuttgarter Kickers and Hannover 96 . At the beginning of the 1977/78 season, Schafstall was employed for a few months as an association trainer at the Badischer Fußballverband (Badischer Fußballverband) at the Schöneck sports school , before surprisingly in October 1977, when he replaced Bernd Hoss as head coach at Karlsruher SC . In the 2000/01 season he briefly returned to VfL Bochum, but could no longer prevent the team from being relegated from the 1st Bundesliga . At FC Schalke 04, his commitment was the trigger for Rudi Assauer's resignation from the managerial position.

Successes include reaching the semi-finals of the 1978/79 UEFA Cup with MSV Duisburg and the 1988 indoor championship with Bayer Uerdingen. Schafstall had his most successful time at VfL Bochum, which he trained in the Bundesliga from 1981 to 1986 and regularly saved from relegation, although the club was consistently classified as a relegation candidate by many experts, including Max Merkel , a columnist for Bild .

In 1986, Schafstall received from Merkel, who awarded points in the form of balls in its annual ranking of teams and coaches in the Bild newspaper, the one-time rating of 6 out of 5 possible balls. On the occasion of his 70th birthday, Schafstall stated that this was the greatest award in his coaching career for him.

The trainer with the stereotypes “tough dog” and “grinder” died at the end of January 2018 at the age of 80.
