Dietmar "Didi" Hamann (born August 27, 1973 in Waldsassen ) is a former German football player .

Career as a player

societies

Dietmar Hamann initially grew up in Konnersreuth before the family moved to Munich in 1976. He came to Bayern Munich as a junior player from FC Wacker Munich .

He played 106 Bundesliga games for FC Bayern Munich until 1998 before moving to the English club Newcastle United . From there he moved a year later for a transfer fee of eight million pounds to Liverpool , where he was active for seven years and completed 191 games in the Premier League . From 2006 to 2009 Dietmar Hamann played for Manchester City , where he was transferred free of charge. A previously concluded contract with the Bolton Wanderers was dissolved again.

With FC Bayern Munich he was German champion in 1994 and 1997 , DFB Cup winner in 1998 and UEFA Cup winner in 1996 . With Liverpool FC he won the UEFA Cup in 2001 and the Champions League in 2005 . At the 2005 final against AC Milan , he was substituted on at half-time, 3-0 down, and helped turn the game into a 3: 3. In the decisive penalty shootout, Hamann converted the first penalty for Liverpool. During the second half he suffered a stress fracture in his right foot.

In July 2009, Manchester City separated from Hamann. After a year without a club, Hamann became player-coach for the English third division club Milton Keynes Dons before the 2010/11 season . After twelve appearances, Hamann's active playing career ended in February 2011.

National team

Hamann took part in the Junior World Championship in Australia in 1993 and was used in all three games. Germany was eliminated in the preliminary round.

For the senior national team Hamann completed 59 international matches in which he scored five goals. He made his debut in the senior national team on November 15, 1997 in Düsseldorf in a 3-0 win against South Africa . He played his last game for the senior national team on August 17, 2005 in a 2-2 draw in Rotterdam against the Netherlands .

In 2002 he finished second with Germany at the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. Hamann also took part with the national team in the 1998 World Cup , the 2000 European Championship and the 2004 European Championship in Portugal .

Dietmar Hamann is linked to the history of the Wembley Stadium in a special way . He was the last player to score a goal in the old stadium before it was demolished; the goal for the 1-0 victory in the 14th minute of the game he succeeded on October 7, 2000 in the game against England . Because of this goal, German fans tried to influence the naming of the bridge built in 2005 on the grounds of the Wembley Stadium. Suggestions for names could be submitted on the website of the London Development Agency . In German forums and several e-mails in circulation, it was asked to suggest Hamann as the namesake on this website. Although the name Dietmar Hamann Bridge was suggested most often in this way, the jury decided against the suggestion.

Hamann was no longer nominated for the 2006 World Cup . He then resigned from the national team. The reason he gave was that the World Cup would have been his last major tournament due to age . The non-nomination did not surprise him because he had no contact with national coach Jürgen Klinsmann in the run-up to the World Cup .

Career as a coach

After his time as a player -coach at Milton Keynes Dons Hamann signed a contract as an assistant coach at the second division Leicester City . In July 2011 he took over the coaching position at the English fifth division club Stockport County , but resigned from his position in November of the same year because, according to his testimony, the investments he had made in the team had not been realized.

In addition, he was fined £ 1,990. Cricket betting addiction and excessive alcohol consumption after the divorce led Dietmar Hamann into a life crisis.
