Bruno Labbadia (born February 8, 1966 in Darmstadt ) is a former German soccer player and today's coach . He has been the head coach of Hertha BSC since April 13, 2020 .

From 1984 to 2003 the striker played in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga and was u. a. two German champions (with 1. FC Kaiserslautern and FC Bayern Munich) and one DFB Cup winner.

Family, childhood and education

Labbadia's parents had moved from Lenola to Germany in 1956 as Italian guest workers and settled in Schneppenhausen not far from Darmstadt . His father worked as a civil engineering worker, his mother in a curtain rod factory and had a part-time job as a cleaning lady. Labbadia grew up as one of nine children in simple circumstances, together with his siblings, mostly in four rooms on a farm in Schneppenhausen, where the family lived for rent. The family saved money and took out a bank loan to buy a house in Weiterstadt , which they then moved into in 1976 with the then ten-year-old Labbadia. He spoke Italian with his parents and German with his siblings .

After graduating from secondary school , he completed vocational training as an insurance salesman . Labbadia has had German citizenship since he was 18 , for which he gave up Italian . Labbadia had applied for German citizenship - contrary to his father's wishes - because at the time only two foreigners were allowed to play in football, but at that time three foreigners were under contract with SV Darmstadt 98. In addition, there was an invitation to the German U21 national team in the room.

Labbadia is married, has a daughter and a son and lives in Hamburg .

Career as a player

societies

Labbadia played as a youth at FSV Schneppenhausen and SV Weiterstadt. In 1984 he was committed by the second division club SV Darmstadt 98 . After three years in the 2nd division, in which he scored a total of 44 goals, he was brought to the 1st Bundesliga by Hamburger SV for the 1987/88 season . Here he was initially trained by Josip Skoblar and played a. a. together with his later superior at HSV, Dietmar Beiersdorfer . In his first game on August 1, 1987 against FC Schalke 04 , he was substituted at half time and scored the goal in the 90th minute to make it 5-2. In his first season he scored eleven goals.

At the beginning of 1989 Labbadia moved to 1. FC Kaiserslautern . Under coach Karl-Heinz Feldkamp , he won the DFB Cup in 1990 , scoring two goals for a 3-2 win in the final against Werder Bremen . A year later - he formed a successful storm duo with Stefan Kuntz - he became German champion in 1991 .

The Bayern Munich undertook Labbadia in summer 1991. Trained was he first of Jupp Heynckes . In 1994 Labbadia became champions with FC Bayern. In the summer of 1994 he left Bayern because the new coach Giovanni Trapattoni relied on the newly signed attackers such as Jean-Pierre Papin and Alain Sutter . He moved to 1. FC Köln for one season , then to Werder Bremen and the second division side Arminia Bielefeld and Karlsruher SC . In 1999 he was the top scorer in the 2nd Bundesliga with 28 goals for Arminia Bielefeld .

In reference to his role as the ninth child in the family, he usually wore the jersey with the number 9. He scored 103 goals in 328 Bundesliga games and 101 goals in 229 games in the 2nd division. This makes him the only player who scored more than 100 goals each in Germany's first and second Bundesliga.

National team

Labbadia wore the national jersey for the first time on August 11, 1987, when he was substituted on for the U21 national team in the Mosel Stadium in Trier in the 0-2 home defeat against France in the 46th minute for Maurizio Gaudino . He scored his first international goal on September 8 in a 2-0 win over the English U21 national team in Lüdenscheid .

Five years later, he was appointed to the senior national team for the first time in a 4-1 win in the international test match in Montevideo against Uruguay . He received his second and last appearance in 1995 in another test international match, which Germany won 2-1 against Belgium in the then newly opened King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels .

Career as a coach

Beginnings

After the end of his career as a professional player, Bruno Labbadia returned to SV Darmstadt 98 as a coach in May 2003 , where his professional career began. He worked there until the end of the 2005/06 season. In his first year in charge, he was promoted to the regional league with the club . In the following season he led his team in fifth place in the final table. In his last year in Darmstadt, with the same rank in the table, he missed the goal set by himself and by the club to move up to the 2nd Bundesliga.

Via Fürth into the Bundesliga

Labbadia as coach of Bayer Leverkusen (2009)

In the 2007/08 season he coached SpVgg Greuther Fürth in the 2nd Bundesliga, finished in sixth place in the table and thus missed promotion to the Bundesliga. Although he was under contract in Fürth until 2009, he moved to Bundesliga club Bayer 04 Leverkusen for the 2008/09 season and replaced Michael Skibbe . After a strong first half of the season, the team collapsed in the second half of the season and ended the season on a disappointing ninth place - for the higher goals previously issued. However, the DFB Cup final was reached on May 30, 2009 (0: 1 against Werder Bremen ), but this was overshadowed by discussions about Labbadia's early departure. On June 5, 2009 Labbadia was on leave and replaced by Jupp Heynckes , who once coached Labbadia at Bayern Munich.

First stop at Hamburger SV

During the summer break of 2009, Labbadia moved to Hamburger SV as the successor to Martin Jol as head coach . The 2009/2010 season was similar to the previous one in Leverkusen: After a strong start, the club slipped from the top third of the table into midfield in the second half of the season. In the Europa League , Labbadia led the team to the semi-finals. On April 26, 2010, HSV parted ways with Labbadia three game days before the end of the Bundesliga season.

VfB Stuttgart

On December 12, 2010 Labbadia was the new head coach at VfB Stuttgart , replacing Jens Keller . He extended his contract with VfB on January 30, 2013 to the end of June 2015. In the 2012/13 season he reached the final in the DFB Cup with Stuttgart, which the team lost 3-2 to Bayern Munich. After a poor start to the 2013/14 season with three defeats, VfB parted ways with Labbadia on August 26, 2013.

Return to Hamburger SV

On April 15, 2015, Labbadia again took over Hamburger SV, which was bottom of the table, six game days before the end of the 2014/15 season . He received a league-independent contract running until June 30, 2016. With Labbadia, HSV got 10 out of 18 possible points and reached the relegation place on the last matchday . In the relegation against Karlsruher SC he held the class with HSV after a 1-1 draw in the first leg and a 2-1 nV in the second leg.

In the first half of the 2015/16 season , Labbadia stabilized the team and finished the series in tenth place in the table. In December 2015, he was voted Hamburger of the Year by the TV broadcaster Hamburg 1 in the Sport category for his “outstanding achievement in leading a HSV that was believed almost dead to new sporting successes” . During the winter break, Labbadia and HSV extended his contract term by one season to June 30, 2017. On September 25, 2016, HSV took him on leave after only one point won from the first five Bundesliga games of the 2016/17 season .

VfL Wolfsburg

On February 20, 2018, Labbadia took over the Bundesliga team of VfL Wolfsburg, which was in 14th place in the table after the 23rd matchday with 24 points, from the resigned Martin Schmidt . He received a contract that ran until June 30, 2019. He achieved relegation with the team in the relegation games against Holstein Kiel . In March 2019, VfL Labbadias announced the decision not to extend its contract, which was due to expire in the summer. The season 2018/19 closed Labbadia with VfL Wolfsburg in 6th place from, so you look for the Europa League qualifying. On the last day of the match he scored the highest Bundesliga win for VfL Wolfsburg with an 8-1 win against FC Augsburg.

Hertha BSC

On April 13, 2020, Labbadia took over the Bundesliga team from Hertha BSC . He is assisted by his long-time co-trainers Eddy Sözer and Olaf Janßen , who had also been on Labbadia's staff in Wolfsburg. Labbadias takeover fell into the season break , accounting for about one month ago by the COVID-19 pandemic was triggered. At this point in time, the Hertha team, which in the 2019/20 season already got the fourth head coach after Ante Čović , Jürgen Klinsmann and Alexander Nouri, was in 13th place after the 25th matchday with 28 points, with the lead over Relegation place was 6 points. The team defeated the first ghost matchday of the Bundesliga , the TSG Hoffenheim with 3: 0 and won the city derby against Union Berlin with 4: 0th He achieved the best starting record of a coach in the history of Hertha BSC. In total, Labbadia took 13 points from the remaining 9 games, with Hertha finishing the season with 41 points in 10th place in the secured midfield.

He replaced Jörg Berger and Otto Rehhagel , each with eight clubs, as record holders.

Anger speech 2012

Labbadia's angry speech is legendary, and he got into it in October 2012 at a press conference as coach of VfB Stuttgart after a 2-2 draw against his former club Bayer 04 Leverkusen. After the replacement of his player Raphael Holzhauser , there were boos from spectators in the VfB stadium . After the game, VfB Stuttgart were in 15th place in the table with 6 points after seven match days in the 2012/13 season . In the press conference that followed, Labbadia let his anger run wild over media coverage and criticism from fans: it had reached its limit. He couldn't accept it if a coach was portrayed like the last dork as if he had no idea. The fans had recently been stirred up by the media and untruths had been spread by the media. A trainer is not everyone's trash can . He's not at all surprised that there is a new coach in Stuttgart every few months: “As a normal Bundesliga coach you have to ask yourself today whether I'm going down a difficult path - as VfB Stuttgart has to go - I'm going with them , or do I say: 'Licked the ass!' ”In addition, Labbadia made it clear that the replacement of Raphael Holzhauser, criticized by the fans, was due to an injury and that Holzhauser would not have played for VfB anymore without his veto, but would have long been awarded. While the Stuttgart sports director at the time, Fredi Bobič Labbadia, had his back, the then chairman of the supervisory board of VfB Stuttgart, Dieter Hundt , criticized Labbadia for his angry speech. Labbadia's press conference has also been partially compared to Giovanni Trapattoni's angry speech in 1998.
