After the end of his playing career, he worked as a coach.

career

As a young member of the Wehrmacht, Alfons Remlein was a British prisoner of war in "Camp 50" near Manchester, where the future goalkeeper legend Bert Trautmann also stayed. Remlein was allowed to play with the two non-league clubs Skelmersdale United and Prescott Cables after some time before he was released to Germany in 1949. Via the intermediate stations Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin and FV Geisenheim he found his way to the 2nd League South by moving to SV Wiesbaden . In the 1951/52 season he finished 9th with Wiesbaden and master TSG Ulm 1846 committed the outside runner for the 1952/53 season for the Oberliga Süd.

With 26 league appearances (1 goal), "Ali" Remlein was one of the top performers alongside Hans Eberle , Heinz Elzner , Georg Lechner and Manfred Ruoff in the "Spatzen", but could not prevent Ulm from being relegated immediately. In the two games against the later southern champion Eintracht Frankfurt (3: 5, 3: 1) he was able to convince those responsible for the eagle bearers of his skills and was brought from relegated Ulm to the champions in Frankfurt for the round in 1953/54. For the offensive, the defending champion signed the fast winger Richard Kreß (FV Horas) and gave the Hattersheimer Hans Weilbächer from the Eintracht amateurs a contract in the league team. The defending champion started the round with a 2-2 win at Viktoria Aschaffenburg. In front of goalkeeper Helmut Henig , Ernst Kudras , Adolf Bechtold , Hans Wloka and Werner Heilig completed the defensive alongside the right wing runner. All three newcomers became regular players and coach Kurt Windmann's team led the table in the Oberliga Süd after the first half of the season with 24: 6 points and 38:12 goals. After an interim low in January 1954, the last six unbeaten games were no longer enough, Remlein and colleagues ended up in second place, one point behind VfB Stuttgart and one point ahead of Offenbach. On the last round match day, April 4, 1954, Frankfurt won 2-0 in the same formation as on the start of the round in Aschaffenburg, near Jahn Regensburg. Remlein had scored two goals in 27 league games.

In the final round of the German soccer championship , which was shortened because of the World Cup in Switzerland, the southern runner-up had to deal with 1. FC Kaiserslautern and 1. FC Cologne. Frankfurt narrowly lost both games with outside runner Remlein: 0: 1 against Kaiserslautern and 2: 3 against Cologne. In his second round he finished 4th with Eintracht 1954/55 and had played in all 30 round games and scored two goals. He played his last league game on December 18, 1955 in a 1: 2 away defeat at SSV Reutlingen. With Eberhard Schymik , the eagle bearers had a nine-year-old outside runner at their disposal and Remlein ended his higher-class playing career in the summer of 1956.

At SG Westend Frankfurt he let his career end in the Hessian amateur area. After the end of his playing career, he worked as a coach for many years, including at FC Schweinfurt 05 and B 1909 Odense . But from 1963 he spent the longest time as an association sports teacher at the Berlin Football Association in Berlin.
