Arno Wolf (born May 16, 1959 in Grünstadt ; † October 27, 2013 ) was a German football player who turned professional from the youth of 1. FC Kaiserslautern . He played for his home club in the Bundesliga and was active at Alemannia Aachen in the 2nd Bundesliga. Arno Wolf was the younger brother of the former soccer player and today's trainer Wolfgang Wolf .

Player career

1. FC Kaiserslautern, 1976 to 1980

The striker Arno Wolf, who came from VfR Hettenleidelheim in 1976 to the A-youth of 1. FC Kaiserslautern, got a contract for the Bundesliga team at the Palatinate in the 1979/80 round. In the second half of the 1978/79 season he had recommended himself through his attacking talent in the amateur team of the Kaiserslautern in the AOL Southwest for two missions in the German national football team of amateurs . Arno Wolf made his debut with the DFB amateurs on April 18, 1979 in Pristina in the 3-2 defeat against Yugoslavia. On June 6, he was in the attack of the amateur national team for the second time in the 4-0 victory in Cádiz against Spain.

The Bundesliga start under coach Karlheinz Feldkamp was very promising for the talent on the wing in the 1979/80 round. On matchday 1, on August 11, 1979, the 20-year-old was in the starting line-up of Kaiserslautern at the home game against Fortuna Düsseldorf . Up to the 11th matchday he was part of the regular formation and participated in ten games. On December 8, 1979, he came on for Benny Wendt four minutes before the end of the game in the 0-0 home draw against VfL Bochum , making his eleventh appearance. This ended Arno Wolf's missions at 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Certainly the unsatisfactory point balance of 15:17 points in the table third in the 1978/79 season contributed to the young striker's not getting away from the reserve bench. Since long-time striker Klaus Toppmöller (round 1978/79: 17 goals) switched to the North American professional league NASL to the Dallas Tornados during this phase , coach Feldkamp preferred to switch to four midfielders and two top players Reiner Geye and Benny Wendt.

In the amateur national team, Arno Wolf had five appearances in the 1979 autumn series, including all four Olympic qualifying games against Finland and Norway. Since this team was disbanded by the DFB after November 14, 1979 , these opportunities for the young striker were also canceled. In 1980/81 he moved to Alemannia Aachen in the 2nd Bundesliga .

Alemannia Aachen, 1980 to 1984

In Tivoli , Arno Wolf got back to work under coach Erhard Ahmann in the 1980/81 season. Alemannia finished the season in 5th place, to which Arno Wolf had contributed eight goals in 36 games. Wolf with Alemannia and at the side of his teammates Wolfgang Dramsch , Joaquín Montañés , Rainer Rühle , Dietmar Grabotin , Matthias Schipper , Hubert Clute-Simon , Wayne Thomas , Helmut Balke and Norbert Runge for round 1981/82 in the single-track 2. Bundesliga a. Aachen changed trainers three times in the 1981/82 season: Ahmann opened the round, Ernst-Günter Habig continued and Horst Buhtz finished the round in ninth place. Arno Wolf was the constant in the attack with 32 missions and five goals. In his fourth season in Aachen, 1983/84, he experienced the dual role of player coach through libero Rolf Grünther . The man from Palatinate played 34 games and scored four goals and Alemannia ended up in sixth place in the table. From 1980 to 1984, Arno Wolf played 119 games with 18 goals in the 2nd Bundesliga for Alemannia Aachen.

Surprisingly, Wolf moved to the Oberliga Nordrhein for 1. FC Bocholt for the 1984/85 round and thus said goodbye to professional football at the age of 25.

Running track next to the soccer field

Through his brother Wolfgang he came to various activities besides the football field.

He worked as co-trainer and youth trainer at the Stuttgarter Kickers , while his brother was head trainer there between 1994 and 1998. Later, in the 2004/05 round - his brother Wolfgang was also head coach there again - he was head scout at 1. FC Nürnberg . After three years as a scout for 1. FC Kaiserslautern , he returned to this position in 2008 for 1. FC Nürnberg.

Arno Wolf died of leukemia on October 27, 2013 at the age of 54 . It was only in September that the FCN called for a typing campaign for the leukemia brother of ex-club trainer Wolfgang Wolf, unfortunately without success.
