Bernard Dietz (nickname Enatz or Ennatz ; born March 22, 1948 in Bockum-Hövel ) is a German former football player and coach. He played for MSV Duisburg from 1970 to 1982 and was captain of this team for years. He was also a member of the German national team and led it as captain to win the 1980 European Championship . From 1982 to 1987 he was under contract with FC Schalke 04 . After several coaching positions, he returned to MSV Duisburg and has been an official for the club since 2010.
Dietz became a professional footballer in 1970 at the age of 22. Initially used as a left winger, he played from the summer of 1972 on the position of left back . With a total of 77 goals, he became the most dangerous defender in Bundesliga history. In December 1974 he made his debut in the German national team. This was followed by participation in the European Championships in 1976 and 1980 and in the World Cup in 1978 . From 1979 he was team captain under national coach Jupp Derwall . After he had the greatest success of his career by winning the European Championship in 1980, he was no longer considered for the DFB-Elf from 1981.
In the Bundesliga he often got into relegation battle with Duisburg and Schalke; the number of 221 defeats in first division games has not yet been exceeded by any Bundesliga player. With MSV Duisburg he reached the cup final in 1975. In the 1978/79 season he came to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup with MSV. In 1982 the team was relegated from the Bundesliga and Dietz moved to FC Schalke 04, where he stayed for four first division seasons and his only second division year when he was playing.
From 1994 he worked as a coach for VfL Bochum , where, in addition to working in the youth field, he coached the second division team twice for a few months. From 2002 to 2006 he was coach of MSV Duisburg II and temporarily took over the first team.
Childhood and youth
Entry into football (until approx. 1965)
Bernard Dietz was born in 1948 as the son of the married couple Helene and Franz Dietz in Bockum-Hövel, Westphalia. He was the ninth and youngest child, with three of his siblings killed in World War II . Because the income of his father, who worked in mining, was low, Bernard grew up in very simple circumstances in what was then Goethestrasse. Nevertheless, he felt these years as happy, mainly thanks to the close ties to his family.
He started playing football on the street early in his childhood. At that time, joining a club was only possible from the age of ten. The neighborhood was heavily influenced by mining and mostly inhabited by people who made a living from working underground. His nickname "Ennatz" was already born at this time, because that's what a little girl from the neighborhood called him - the child had difficulties pronouncing his first name correctly. This name initially caught on in Bockum-Hövel and was a part of the footballer's life. With regard to the spelling, there was an alternative form with “Enatz” and the double N only became the preferred variant when the MSV mascot was given this name in 2005.
After his tenth birthday he joined the SV Bockum-Hövel because his uncle had already played there and had initiated the registration. He stayed there throughout his youth and lived through many years in which he was unable to develop a special reputation as a talent; he therefore never played for a national team.
After graduating from school at the age of thirteen, he decided to train as a blacksmith and locksmith. His apprenticeship in the craft company ended when he was 17 years old, and around the same time he was on the field for the first time for the national league team of SV Bockum-Hövel. The exact time of his admission to the eleven cannot be clearly determined and is specified in various sources at an age of 16, 17 or 18 years. Thus, only the rough indication can be given that his change from youth to senior sector took place around 1965.
Amateur player in the national league (approx. 1965-1970)
The time after his debut in the national league was initially relatively unspectacular. As was usually the case in his youth, he took a position in the storm at Bockum-Hövel . At work, he often shifted shifts to have enough free time for training and games. At the age of 18 he had a serious accident at work in which he lost the middle and ring fingers on his right hand. However, Dietz saw no reason to give up playing football, and so he maintained his regular place in the SV's offensive department in the late 1960s.
Much changed after he started the 1969/70 season with 19 goals in the course of the first ten matches. The SV Bockum-Hövel striker, which had hardly been noticed until then, was now included in the Westphalian selection. In the competition of the regional cup he was used in the two matches against Lower Saxony in March 1970. With the regional team under the direction of coach Walter Ochs , he traveled to East Africa and played against national teams from Ethiopia and Sudan. In addition, he was invited to the amateur national team of the DFB for an encounter, even if he stayed on the bench for over 90 minutes in the game against Austria. More important for his further development, however, were two inquiries from Bundesliga clubs : 1. FC Cologne and shortly afterwards MSV Duisburg invited Dietz to a trial training session.
Steep rise in Duisburg (1970–1975)
Obligation by the MSV
After completing a trial session at 1. FC Köln, those responsible spoke out against a direct commitment. Instead, they suggested that he take him under contract and initially loan him to the regional league club Lüner SV for a year . However, the player declined this offer.
From his point of view, things went better when he was allowed to present himself at MSV Duisburg a little later. The club offered him a place for the Bundesliga squad for the 1970/71 season. Nevertheless, there was reason for him to hesitate, as he had recently been promised membership of the German Olympic team in 1972 ; he could only have participated in this tournament in his own country as an amateur. Thanks to the prospect of a long-term professional career, he decided in favor of the MSV, with which he signed a contract with a basic salary of DM 1,200 per month plus a DM 100 bonus. SV Bockum-Hövel received a transfer fee of DM 25,000 as compensation for the change.
First Bundesliga years as a left winger (1970–1972)
At MSV Duisburg, Dietz was initially intended for the offensive position of the left wing . In his first season in the German elite class, he started as a supplementary player. After two games without consideration, he made his debut away at Werder Bremen . In the 2-0 victory on September 5, 1970, he was not only on the field from the start, but also scored the opening goal in the 59th minute.
season | Result |
---|---|
1970/71 | 2-0 |
1971/72 | 3-0 |
1972/73 | 2-0 |
1973/74 | 0: 4 |
1974/75 | 2: 1 |
1975/76 | 1: 1 |
1976/77 | 5: 2 |
1977/78 | 6: 3 |
1978/79 | 3: 1 |
In the further course of the first half of the season he became a regular player and contributed to a significant upward trend of the team that had almost been relegated in the previous year. In their own stadium, the MSV remained undefeated. At the season finale in June 1971, FC Bayern Munich was beaten 2-0 in their home stadium in Wedau , which meant that the Munich team gambled away the championship in favor of Borussia Mönchengladbach . This was the prelude to a series of victories against the otherwise mostly victorious Bavarians, which brought MSV into the headlines several times during Dietz's time. He himself later commented on this fact:
"If the season had consisted of 34 home games against Bayern, we would have easily become German champions."
The frequent occurrence of successes against Bayern fell in the years from 1970 to 1979, whereas in the following three seasons all games were lost. Dietz was always on the pitch when Duisburg scored seven wins in nine games, drew once and only lost once.
At the end of the 1970/71 season it was enough for a seventh place in the table. With Klaus Wunder and Rudi Seliger , two very young and talented players came to the new season who, alongside Dietz, will be among the most important players for the next few years and who would both make it into the national team. Another future high performer and national player moved up from his own youth in Ronald Worm . Nevertheless, Bernard Dietz and the rest of the team experienced a rather weak year from the start, which ended in fourteenth place with a few points ahead of the relegated team.
Change to the defense and first highlights (1972-1975)
An important turning point in the career of the player who was previously on the left winger occurred during the summer break of 1972. The Duisburg footballers spent parts of it in England, where coach Rudolf Faßnacht developed the idea of having Dietz on the left side of defense during a series of test encounters . The decision was made against the background that he faced a number of other talents as competition on the offensive with Wunder, Seliger and Worm; this was not the case on the full-back position. Dietz convinced with overall very strong performances, so that from then on he was permanently on the defensive. One of his particular strengths was that he continued to actively engage in the offensive game even after the change in position. Although the 1972/73 season was only his third Bundesliga year, he was already considered one of the team's top performers at the time. After a good start, the MSV came in tenth in the end.
In the Bundesliga year 1973/74 the MSV Duisburg started badly and in the course of the first half of the season the eleven slipped to the bottom of the table. As a result, coach Faßnacht resigned his position on October 21 and was inherited by Willibert Kremer . Kremer entrusted Dietz with the position of team captain, which had previously been occupied by Detlef Pirsig . The team then remained in the relegation battle and was only able to save itself through a series of good results at the end of the season.
After the summer break in 1974, the beginning of the new season went well for Duisburg, but the level could not be maintained and after a steady downward trend it was only enough for fourth place in the final accounts. It was his most successful year as a goalscorer to date with eight goals, and he was able to show such a record again in 1978/79 and 1980/81. In the DFB Cup, the team was able to beat Bayern and met Borussia Dortmund in the round of the last four . Against the second division, the Duisburg team had to go into extra time when the score was 1: 1 and it was Dietz who finally shot them into the final. In Hanover, the MSV met Eintracht Frankfurt on June 21, 1975 and had to accept a goal by Charly Körbel in the 57th minute in a turbulent game, the conditions of which were made difficult by a storm . Although it remained 1-0 in favor of Eintracht despite good chances to equalize, MSV was able to qualify as a defeated finalist for the UEFA Cup.
Bernard Dietz had to do with Frankfurt Eintracht not only through the cup final in 1975: some time before the final, he received a contract offer from the Hessian Bundesliga rivals and met with Frankfurt coach Dietrich Weise in Düsseldorf to negotiate a possible change. Both sides came to an agreement and his upcoming departure from Duisburg found its way into the media. In this phase, Dietz met a couple with a child in the parking lot of the Wedau Stadium, who tearfully asked him to stay with the MSV. According to his own account, this led him to rethink, which he described in retrospect as follows: "You cannot change the fans [...] who are so attached to MSV with all their hearts." Said the evening after the encounter he therefore abandoned the Hessians and stayed in Duisburg.
Choppy times at MSV Duisburg (1975–1982)
Participation in the European competition (1975–1979)
In the first round of the 1975/76 UEFA Cup season, Duisburg was able to prevail against the Cypriot club Enosis Neon Paralimni . With Levski Sofia the MSV then drew a difficult lot, but won the first leg at home 3-2. In Bulgaria it was 1: 1 at first, until a striker from Sofia Detlef Pirsig fouled rudely and still got the free kick awarded. After his execution, Bernard Dietz fended off the ball in the penalty area with his hand and was thus in the unfortunate situation of causing the penalty to make the final score 1: 2. Due to the away goals rule, the Meidericher were eliminated.
In the Bundesliga, after a weak start in the first half of the season, the eleven were now last in the table. In March 1976 coach Kremer was replaced by his assistant Rolf Schafstall . In the end, the team took tenth place.
For the 1976/77 Bundesliga match, Otto Knefler, a coach, was brought to Duisburg, whom Dietz later described as the most influential man in this function. He also characterized him as a father figure who attached great importance to discipline. In the final account of the season, the team was in ninth place.
On August 6, 1977 Duisburg met Hamburger SV with its newly signed star player Kevin Keegan in front of a home crowd for the season opening . With an outstanding defensive performance he was able to assert himself against the English striker and enabled a 5-2 success for his team. Another remarkable game followed only weeks later when Bayern traveled to Wedau on November 5th. The left-back was primarily intended for defensive work against his national team colleague Karl-Heinz Rummenigge , but switched to attacking efforts from the start, overcoming national goalkeeper Sepp Maier for the first time after 20 minutes . Munich turned the game around until the break, before he could equalize to 2-2 in the 49th minute. Eight minutes later Gerd Müller scored for Bayern, but in minutes 76 and 78, respectively, Dietz scored a double strike before his team-mates even increased it to 6: 3. He was the only defender in league history to score four goals. The kicker then headlined: "MSV Dietzburg against Bayern Munich 6: 3" . To emphasize its importance for the club, the expression "MSV Dietzburg" was picked up again and again, especially by the press, during his active time in Duisburg.
On December 1, 1977, trainer Knefler had to be retired for health reasons and after two interim trainers Rolf Schafstall took over the office again. On the last day of the match Dietz scored against Schalke 04 to make it 1-0, which meant that MSV was again qualified for the European competition.
1978 was the year in which his tenure as captain temporarily ended and a new one began at the same time: at MSV, despite his prominent role, he was replaced by Kees Bregman , while at the DFB he was captain for the first time. Some time later, however, he took over this task again at MSV. The following first half of the Bundesliga was weak for the team, which was accompanied by a personal weakness of form of Dietz. The now 30-year-old saw an occasion for criticism of the leadership, regretted the departure of Theo Bücker and MSV record player Michael Bella and commented on the focus on young, inexperienced players: “With half a dozen young boys there is no state to be made in the long run. ” After 16th place in winter, things went up a bit in the second half of the season and came in thirteenth. Because Dietz added the national team and he still didn't take a break, he made a total of 54 competitive games in one season.
For Duisburg, the 1978/79 season was characterized by good results in European competition. After they clearly prevailed against the Polish club Lech Posen in the first round , they then faced a duel with the GDR upper division club FC Carl Zeiss Jena . At the beginning there was a goalless draw with the Thuringians and also in the second leg in the Wedaustadion after 90 minutes there was still no goal. In extra time, Dietz scored the leading goal that marked the start of his team's 3-0 victory. In the round of 16 they beat Racing Strasbourg and in the following round they won against Honvéd Budapest . In the upcoming semifinals, the MSV had to compete against their regional neighbor Borussia Mönchengladbach. After a 2-2 at home, Duisburg lost 4-1 in Mönchengladbach. With a placement among the best four teams, it remained the most successful performance of MSV Duisburg in the European competition.
Negative trend and decline (1979–1982)
At the beginning of the 1979/80 season, Dietz had himself set up on the libero position as a test . After a 2-0 home defeat against Cologne, he was allowed to defend on the left again. It went further downhill, which is why the coach Heinz Höher , who was brought in last summer , had to vacate his seat in favor of his assistant Friedhelm Wenzlaff . Only through a series of three games won, the team reached relegation on matchday 32. Following the year marked by relegation worries, he was supposed to move to the New York Cosmos he had trained in the United States at the will of Hennes Weisweiler , but he decided to stay in Duisburg.
His decision in favor of MSV Duisburg meant that he had to face the relegation battle again. Initially, the team remained unbeaten six times and was on a good course until a 3-4 home defeat to Cologne ushered in a negative turn. Especially with a 1: 5 in Dortmund, the captain presented himself weak, which is why some people asked to take him out of the starting XI for the time being. But Dietz continued to get the trust of coach Wenzlaff and was ultimately able to save himself again with his teammates. Friedhelm Wenzlaff's contract was extended beyond the summer of 1981 despite constant discussions, also because the team captain had stood up for him.
Initially, the coach justified the trust, since the 1981/82 host year began satisfactorily for the MSV. On the other hand, September 26, 1981 was a black day for Dietz and his teammates, as they lost 7-0 away at Hamburger SV. This was the start of a steep decline and on November 30th, Wenzlaff was replaced by Kuno Klötzer , which did not stop the downward trend. On May 29, 1982, the player ran for the last time for Duisburg in the Bundesliga and despite a 2-1 win against Fortuna Düsseldorf had to accept relegation, which Dietz himself attributed to the lack of team unity. The fall into the second division heralded his departure from MSV after twelve years, as the club wanted to give him up because of massive savings measures, due to the financial problems that were exacerbated by the relegation. "Actually, I would never have changed," he later described this situation, but the club insisted on it. "When that was clear, I packed the things and cried," he continued.
Last years at Schalke (1982–1987)
Relegation and promotion (1982–1984)
The 34-year-old left-back found work immediately in the summer of 1982 when he signed with Bundesliga promoted Schalke 04. He then moved to a club whose home games he had attended regularly as a teenager. In addition to Dietz, other newcomers strengthened the squad. The defensive player consistently received the trust of his coach Sigfried Held and also that of his successor Jürgen Sundermann , who was in office from January 1983 , making him the only player not to miss a game. In terms of sport, the season was extremely bad for the team, so they had to maintain their Bundesliga membership in the relegation against second division third Bayer 05 Uerdingen from Krefeld. In the end there was relegation, because after a 1: 3 in Krefeld it was only enough to a 1: 1 in the second leg.
After 13 years in the top German league, Dietz followed his employer to the 2nd Bundesliga. So it came to a premiere for him when he made his second division debut on August 5, 1983 in a 3-0 home win against SC Charlottenburg at the age of 35. Since he was still undisputed and appeared in almost all encounters, he was not spared the meeting with his ex-club in November. 32,000 spectators were present in Duisburg's Wedaustadion when Schalke split 1: 1 from MSV. Under the new coach Diethelm Ferner , the eleven quickly placed themselves in the top group and at the end of the season were second in the table behind Karlsruher SC - so the promotion was achieved. A highlight of the season was the semi-final match in the DFB-Pokal , when FC Bayern Munich was a guest in Gelsenkirchen's Parkstadion . At this encounter, the young Olaf Thon stepped into the spotlight, who later made it to the national team: He scored three times, including in the last minute of extra time, and played a major role in the 6: 6 final score, to which Dietz also contributed a goal. In the replay that was due there was a 2: 3 defeat, which is why the former Duisburg player missed a second DFB Cup final after 1975.
Slow farewell (1984–1987)
In the 1984/85 season, the promoted Schalke presented themselves as a solid Bundesliga team and ended up in eighth place. In the following competition period, however, the team was in danger of relegation again. Dietz was now noticeably towards the end of his career and was struggling with injuries at the time, which is why he missed parts of the season. In the end, his team held the class.
After the 1986 summer break, he was given opportunities to play again under the new coach Rolf Schafstall, whom he knew from Duisburg's days, but his injuries in particular caused him massive problems. On November 8, 1986, he took part in a match in the Bundesliga for the last time in a 2-1 defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach. He was in the squad until the end of the season, but his time as a Bundesliga footballer finally ended during the 1987 summer break; During his last year, he had already coached the Schalke A-Jugend as a coach parallel to his playing.
Dietz was not sent off once in his 495 Bundesliga games and still holds two records: On the one hand, he is the player in the German elite class who lost the most with 221 defeats. In addition, he set a positive record, because with 77 goals he is the most dangerous defender in league history. For his final farewell to the highest German league, the now 40-year-old returned to the Duisburg Wedaustadion on May 10, 1988, where he competed with a selection team against the national team in front of 25,000 spectators and numerous celebrities from German football appeared in his honor. "There will be no more like the Enatz," said Franz Beckenbauer on that day.
National team
Breakthrough and tournament participation (1974–1978)
Already in 1970 Dietz had been invited to the amateur national team and had been in the squad for a qualifying match against Austria without being used. He also completed three matches for the B selection in 1974 and 1975 .
At the end of 1974, the then 26-year-old received an invitation to the senior national team under the leadership of coach Helmut Schön and made his debut on December 22nd of that year when he was on the field from the start in a 1-0 win in Malta was standing. Subsequently, he was regularly called up on the defensive - aided by the departure of the former regular player Horst-Dieter Höttges from the national team. In April and May 1976 he took part in the playoffs against Spain, in which Germany qualified for the finals of the 1976 European Championship . At that time, this championship was decided among just four teams, making Dietz's tournament debut on June 17th the semi-finals. After a 0-2 deficit, the DFB-Elf prevailed 4-2 against hosts Yugoslavia in extra time and met Czechoslovakia in the final. Since it was 2-2 after both 90 and 120 minutes, the decision had to be made on penalties. Bernard Dietz, who had played both tournament games over their full length, should also be one of the shooters, but was not up to it at the moment: He claimed he suffered from leg cramps and was therefore removed from the list of shooters. Because Uli Hoeneß shot the penultimate German penalty over the gate and scored all Czechoslovaks, Germany lost the final. Looking back, Dietz regretted not having taken any responsibility: “It's a shame that I pinched it back then. Who knows, maybe everything would have turned out differently. "
At the 1978 World Cup in Argentina he was back in the squad and was mostly on the starting grid. After the team had survived the preliminary round, they had to fight for a place in the final in an intermediate round, which was also played in group mode. After two draws against Italy and the Netherlands, the ambitions were squandered by the so-called shame of Cordoba . Dietz was on the field when Germany lost 3-2 to the Austrians and ultimately clearly missed qualifying for the final. In retrospect, Dietz described the lack of team unity and the bad mood as a result of the camp-like accommodation during the tournament as the main reasons for the failure.
Captain's office and triumph at the European Championship (1978–1981)
Following the 1978 World Cup, the national team in Jupp Derwall received a new coach. Shortly after taking office, Derwall appointed Bernard Dietz as the deputy of team captain Sepp Maier . Dietz took over the captaincy for the first time on December 20, 1978, when Maier was not called up against the Netherlands. Due to an accident in 1979, the goalkeeper was finally forced to end his career and so the Duisburg defender was promoted to captain.
After the disappointing World Cup, the German team reached one of the eight starting places at the 1980 European Championship . The mode provided for two groups, from which the first placed qualified directly for the final. The team led by Dietz beat Czechoslovakia and the Netherlands and did not get past a 0-0 win against Greece without his participation. It was enough for a place in the final, in which Germany met Belgium on June 22, 1980 in Rome. Shortly before the end of regular time, Horst Hrubesch scored the 2-1 winner. Thanks to his role in the team, Dietz was the first to receive the trophy at the subsequent award ceremony. Winning the title represented the greatest success of his career. "It is hard to believe that the little worker from the Ruhr area suddenly stood at the top and was European champion" , he commented on the situation in retrospect.
On the occasion of winning the European Football Championship, he was honored by the Federal President with the silver laurel leaf.
At the beginning of 1981 he wanted to announce his resignation from the national team after his 50th international match, but at the urging of national coach Derwall he decided not to take this step. In the further course of the year, the return of Paul Breitner caused resentment within the team in Dietz's opinion. At the same time, Derwall, who had persuaded him to stay months earlier, now only sat his captain on the bench. With a 1: 2 defeat against Brazil on May 19, 1981 Dietz played his 53rd international match and was not nominated from then on. He had held the captaincy 19 times. In retrospect, he himself took the view that his open criticism of Breitner was the reason for his disregard. He had experienced his entire career in the national team as a professional at MSV Duisburg. Through his 53 appearances, he is the MSV player who played the most international matches while he was a member of the club.
Time as a trainer (1986-2006)
Entry and years in the amateur field (1986–1994)
During the 1986/87 season, when he was still part of the Schalke Bundesliga squad, Dietz coached the club's A-youth team and led the team to win the Westphalia Cup in 1987. With his departure from the first team, his work in the 1987 summer break ended at the same time Youth area, he left Gelsenkirchen and was hired for the following season 1987/88 as coach of the upper division ASC Schöppingen . In the then third-class Oberliga Westfalen , the ASC achieved top placings under Dietz several times: In 1988, the gap to the second Westfalia Herne was only one point, with which Schöppingen narrowly missed participation in the German amateur championship. The deficit on the champions Preußen Münster , who was allowed to participate in the promotion round to the second Bundesliga, was very clear. The ASC Schöppingen also reached third place in 1989 and 1990, albeit with a greater lag. A significant success came in 1990 with the win of the Westphalia Cup with a 5-0 final victory against DSC Wanne-Eickel . Schöppingen had thus qualified for the DFB Cup and met Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt in the first round on August 4, 1990. Despite a strong performance, the team trained by Dietz lost 2-1 to the clear favorites.
The appearance in the cup was the prelude to a season in which the team improved and finally reached second place. As a result, the team trained by Dietz was allowed to play for the title of German amateur champion in 1991 , but did not get beyond the group phase. In the following league season 1991/92 Schöppingen came seventh in the table. Financial reasons put the successful years of the Westmünsterländer to an abrupt end after the season and forced them to withdraw from the highest amateur league. For Dietz, this was also the end of his time in Schöppingen, during which he had helped shape the most successful years of the club. He had led the two players Alfred Nijhuis and Jörg Lipinski , who moved to MSV Duisburg and Rot-Weiss Essen in 1991, into professional football.
After leaving in Schöppingen, Dietz found a new employer in 1992 in the former top division competitor SC Verl. He was able to build on his previous successes as a coach and led the team to second place in the table in his first year. Therefore, the East Westphalia were allowed to take part in the amateur championship in 1993 , but were eliminated after four defeats in the group stage. The following season 1993/94 was a special case due to a pending league reform, because with the regional league, which was only played in four seasons nationwide, a new third-highest class was created for which the six best teams qualified. For the west / south-west relay, the Verler qualified with five points ahead of seventh-placed VfL Gevelsberg , but Dietz had resigned his position during the season. He then worked for three months as a talent scout for Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund. He was then hired by VfL Bochum .
Young talent in Bochum (1994-2001)
At the professional club from Bochum, Dietz took over responsibility in the youth field by coaching the A-youth and later also the amateur team. In 1994 he took over the A-Juniors under difficult conditions and provided a positive boost for the U-19 team, which was expressed, among other things, in winning the Westphalia Cup for this age group. He was also personally involved in promoting his protégés, for example by temporarily taking in Delron Buckley , who was not yet of legal age, after his arrival from South Africa. From the U-19 he switched to the amateurs of the club. The second selection he led back to the fourth-class Oberliga Westfalen, before he was promoted to the regional league in 1999. Shortly thereafter, Dietz changed sides when he inherited Ernst Middendorp in October 1999 and coached Bochum's professional team for a transitional period. There he helped some youngsters from the U-23s, such as the later national player Paul Freier, to break through in the second division team. In terms of sport, too, things went well under his aegis , which is why another occupation in this function became the topic; Dietz himself was not interested in this anyway and returned to the amateurs at the end of the year.
At the end of the 1999/2000 season he had to accept relegation to the league with his young players. At the same time, the professional team made it to the Bundesliga, but was relegated again in 2001. Following this, Dietz was again promoted to head coach of the professional team at VfL Bochum. In terms of sport, things went relatively well and VfL was close behind the promotion spots when the coach surprisingly resigned on December 3, 2001. He justified his resignation with the fact that, contrary to his plans, he had not yet been able to lead the team to a promotion place and went on to say: "A major reason [...] was the lack of professionalism of some players of today's footballer generation." He also described his difficult relationship with the club management as a further motive for his withdrawal. He waived the severance pay he was entitled to and did not return to the amateur team. Instead, he left Bochum after seven years and was temporarily without an employer in football.
Return to Duisburg and coaching time in Ahlen (2002–2006)
With Detlef Pirsig it was an old acquaintance from playing times who held the office of sports director in Duisburg in 2002 and who persuaded Dietz to return after a long absence. As before in Bochum, the focus was on the youth work, because Dietz was responsible for the amateur team of the MSV Duisburg . He soon switched to the professional team in the 2nd Bundesliga when he temporarily took over the post of head coach Pierre Littbarski , who had previously been dismissed, on November 3, 2002 . Then the team won five of six games under his leadership, which contributed significantly to the relegation achieved in the end. From mid-December of the same year he was able to fully turn to the amateurs, but had to accept relegation to the fifth-rate association league with them at the end of the season. In 2004 he led her to direct promotion to the Oberliga Nordrhein. In the following years, the team took placements in the middle of the table. At the beginning of the 2006/07 season, Dietz relinquished responsibility and took on the role of coach at the regional division Rot Weiss Ahlen .
For the second division relegated from Ahlen, things went relatively badly under Dietz from the start and the club also got a league closer to the relegation zone. Dietz's employment ended on October 29, 2006. In the previous months he had integrated 18-year-old Kevin Großkreutz into the team, who later made it into the national team. According to his own statements, Dietz had "lost the fun of football" before leaving because of the difficult internal situation. As a result, he made the decision to end his coaching career. In August 2012, he made an exception when he made himself available as an interim assistant to MSV Duisburg.
Tactical view
Dietz was considered a supporter of classic tactics, which is why he basically relied on a 4-4-2 system with one defensive and one attacking midfielder in Ahlen. At the same time he demanded variability between the positions of his players in order to make it more difficult for the opponent to adjust to his team. He was perceived as an uncomplicated but uncompromising trainer. The experience gained as a player in the Bundesliga and the national team under the various coaches such as Rudolf Faßnacht , Willibert Kremer , Rolf Schafstall , Otto Knefler , Carl-Heinz Rühl , Heinz Höher , Friedhelm Wenzlaff and Kuno Klötzer (all MSV Duisburg), as well as Helmut Schön and Jupp Derwall during his time in the national team became the basis of his tactical and technical work as a coach. As a player, he experienced the time of the 4-3-3 system and its transition to 4-4-2. The tight man coverage of the full-backs, the pre-stoppers and the defensive midfielder against the opposing playmaker were undisputed facts of his time as an active player. He did not get to know innovative trainers with more modern ideas, such as spatial coverage , which has long been practiced in the Netherlands . At the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, national coach Schön also switched back and forth between the more defensive 4-4-2 and the three-pointed 4-3-3. It was exactly the same under his successor Derwall at the successful 1980 European Championship in Italy.
In the youth field, he attached particular importance to the tactical training of his players. Above all, it was very important to him to promote their understanding and interpretation of what was happening in the game. Strict disciplinary procedures and tough training methods, on the other hand, did not correspond to his professional view. In his opinion, the tactical training of the next generation is of central importance for successful youth work.
Responsible at MSV (2010-2019)
In July 2010, MSV Duisburg announced that it would in future integrate its former player and coach into the club's structures as an advisor to the board. Although Dietz said he hadn't known about it beforehand, the collaboration came about, so that in September of the same year he took over the newly created role as “board advisor and representative”. His tasks included, in particular, promoting the external image of sponsors and supporters, but also, for example, maintaining contacts with players who were formerly active for the club. He described his motivation for working in the club with the words:
"MSV is my home, I've seen everything here in football, once MSV - always MSV."
In November 2011, it was decided to join the supervisory board of the professional department spun off from the main association. Only a year and a half later there was a change of post, also because Dietz did not see himself as having the necessary economic competence for work on the Supervisory Board. As a result, he gave up this activity and was instead unanimously elected to the board of the association on May 2, 2013.
On May 29, 2013, just a few weeks after joining the board, it became known that the DFL had not granted MSV Duisburg a license for the 2013/14 second division season. A day later Dietz turned in an open letter to the fans of the club and called it: "Show yourselves and shows the league and the city and very football Germany that our MSV in professional football remain our needs!" Demonstrated followers of clubs then in Duisburg and organized numerous campaigns; a highlight was the “fan march” on June 4th, which brought around 6,000 supporters of the association to the streets. Ultimately, the club received at least the license for the third division. After the recovery achieved in 2015 and the subsequent weak start to the season for MSV in the 2nd Bundesliga, Dietz spoke out in favor of dismissing coach Gino Lettieri at an early stage . In early November 2015, Lettieri was finally given leave of absence by the bottom of the table.
On June 21, 2019, Dietz announced his resignation from the board. As reasons, he gave both health issues, but also that he no longer agreed with the decisions of the association.
Appearance, playing and working style
Style of play and appearance
On the soccer field and in training he was committed and often combative, which is why he was occasionally referred to as a " painter ". At the same time, earning money was never a priority for him: according to his own statements, he had to spend a considerable part of his starting salary at MSV Duisburg on fuel costs, as he constantly commuted to Bockum-Hövel. "I never played football for money, but out of passion," he said in retrospect. When he became European champion in 1980, it was estimated that his annual salary was around 320,000 DM , which meant he was not one of the top earners in German football. Even from the outside world, he was considered down-to-earth and humble. He never had a personal advisor and refrained from incorporating exit clauses into his contracts, which would enable an early switch to be made. The actually modest man rarely showed signs of overconfidence, for example when he stated in an interview: "As long as I'm at MSV, he won't get down."
He spent most of his career as a left-back, but after playing in the youth and amateur field as a striker and in his first professional years as a left winger, he continued to regularly engage in offensive play. This background explains why he is the most dangerous defender in Bundesliga history with 77 goals. In addition, he could take other positions on the field if necessary and was therefore considered to be versatile. Only in the national team was he more limited to the defensive and therefore never scored a goal in his 53 international matches. Atypical for his tactical role was his remarkable fairness, through which he was never sent off in 16 years of the Bundesliga and only saw twelve yellow cards - in some cases he was not even warned once in several consecutive seasons. Mainly due to his great loyalty to the club, because of which he only played for the two often relegation-threatened teams Duisburg and Schalke, he never won a club title as a player. According to the book In the Land of 1000 Derbies. The football history of the Ruhr area. In addition to the 1980 European Championship, Dietz won only one other title - the 1957 Bockum-Höveler Street Football Championship.
In terms of attitude, the former national player discovered significant differences between himself and younger generations of players, both in terms of discipline and with a view to the ubiquity of personal advisers. In an interview from 2001 he expressed criticism of the general state of society: "You can hang a hundred-mark note anywhere today and people will do everything for it." According to the author Hardy Grüne , Dietz is "about the end of his career also remained a man with high moral values. "
Private life
His marriage came about through football, because Dietz married the daughter of the host couple of the club restaurant of SV Bockum-Hövel, where his career had started; later the couple had two children. When he started his professional career in Duisburg in 1970, he decided to continue living in Bockum-Hövel. He later found a home for many years in the nearby village of Walstedde . Contact has been maintained with numerous companions from his time as a player at MSV Duisburg and is maintained through monthly meetings in the club's inn in Duisburg-Meiderich .
As a health consequence of his career, Dietz suffered two damaged knees. In September 2007 he started the Dietz football school together with his son Christian . There the children are trained on the sports facilities of various clubs as part of one to three-day courses. Their concept focuses on enjoying the sport as well as the development of social skills through the game and practices non-performance-oriented support.
Recognition by the MSV and its fans
On February 19, 2002 he was made an honorary member of the MSV Duisburg. As further recognition of his services to the association, he and his wife are entitled to season tickets for life.
In 2005, the Duisburg supporters were supposed to vote on the name of the club's mascot. Another option was his nickname “Ennatz”, which was able to prevail in the vote with a clear lead of around 2,000 votes. When the club's legends were voted on in the run-up to the 2010/11 season, he again had the largest number of fans behind him and accordingly achieved first place.

The German director Adnan G. Köse shot the documentary Ennatz - A Zebra Legend through Dietz , which premiered on October 13, 2018 in the Theater am Marientor .
