Günter Guttmann (born April 12, 1940 in Markt-Bohrau , Lower Silesia , † March 29, 2008 in Prenzlau ) was a German soccer player and soccer coach .

player

Günter Guttmann registered with SC Stahl Riesa at the age of 13 and stayed there until the end of his career as an active football player after the football section was transformed into BSG Stahl Riesa. After completing his school education, he learned the trade of metalworker. In the 1962/63 season he rose with the men's team from the third class II. GDR league in the GDR league . The 1.74-meter-tall midfielder, who is half left by default, celebrated his greatest success in the 1967/68 season when he led the Riesa team into the GDR football league for the first time as captain of the team . He had completed all 30 point games and thus made a decisive contribution to promotion. In the following league season, however, he only made two missions, because he had to end his career as an active football player early due to a serious thigh injury.

Trainer

After the abrupt end of his career, he immediately became assistant trainer to Walter Fritzsch . After his departure ( Dynamo Dresden ), quarrels arose with his successors Karl Schäffner and Felix Vogel , whereupon Guttmann left Riesa. In Grossenhain he was employed as a physical education teacher at the Institute for Teacher Education . Guttmann continued his education at trainer seminars at the DHFK and later even became a seminar leader who was able to welcome trainers like Hans Meyer and Bernd Stange to his group . In 1973, however, he was brought back to Riesa, where he now took over as head coach of the first team. In the 1974/75 season they reached a sixth place, which was the best placement of all time in the House of Lords. After four years Riesa rose from the league for the second time in 1976/77 , but succeeded in 1977/78 under him, the immediate rise. Riesa stayed in the league for another three years before returning to the league in 1981. Guttmann marched with Riesa up to the 15th matchday through the GDR league , after which there were attempts by officials to interfere and he left steel. From 1973 to 1982 he became the most successful trainer in the history of Stahl Riesa. Just a few weeks after leaving there, he hired the defeated league newcomer Energie Cottbus to save him from relegation. The relegation could no longer be prevented and almost two and a half seasons followed in the GDR league before they separated in October 1984. At the beginning of 1985, the Neubrandenburg district division club BSG Lok / Armaturen Prenzlau Guttmann committed to return the team to the GDR league. After winning the district championship, they also survived the promotion round and played again in the GDR league in the 1985/86 season . After three years Guttmann rose again with Prenzlau in the district league, but returned immediately after a year in the GDR league. Until 1995 he coached Prenzlau, which played in the newly founded NOFV-Oberliga after the reunification . He coached TSV 1814 Friedland for a year before retiring from football. The widowed Guttmann had three children and last lived in Prenzlau as a pensioner .
