Gerhard Glasses (born December 26, 1911 in Magdeburg ; † 1995 ) was a German soccer player and soccer coach .

Career as a player

From 1922, the Magdeburg-born glasses played as a goalkeeper for the youth teams and later the senior team of SC Komet Magdeburg until he joined Cricket-Viktoria Magdeburg in 1933 . From 1933/34, Gläser played with cricket Viktoria in the Gauliga Mitte , one of the 16 highest German leagues at the time, in which the club was able to hold up until 1942. During these years, Gläser was one of the best goalkeepers in German football and was invited several times to courses for the national team. After Cricket-Viktoria was dissolved at the end of the Second World War in 1945, glasses joined the SG Magdeburg-Lemsdorf in 1946. From 1950 to 1953 he finally played for Grün-Rot Magdeburg .

Career as a coach

In 1953, glasses graduated as a football coach. His first coach stop was at the start of the 1953/54 season , the BSG Turbine Hall , where he had to take over a team whose previous coach Fred Schulz (z. B. and important player Otto Knefler , Günter Imhof ) after the suppression of the popular uprising of 1953 in had gone west. The Halle residents, still GDR champions in 1952, had only finished the 1952/53 season with a disappointing 13th place in the upper league, the top division of the GDR. Under Glaser's leadership, the team was able to improve to eighth place at the end of the 1953/54 season. In September 1954, the first team of the soccer section of the BSG Turbine was affiliated to the newly founded SC Chemie Halle-Leuna , but at the end of the 1954/55 season had to be relegated as penultimate from the league. In addition to those responsible for the club, Gläser was also publicly reprimanded for relegation: "The coach, Gläser, who had to assume the leading role in the collective, promoted the fragmentation of the collective through his reconciliation and his inconsistency." (SED district newspaper Freiheit , September 5, 1955 )

Glasses then moved to the league promoted BSG Lokomotive Stendal , with whom he finished ninth in the transition round in 1955 and fourth in the league in 1956 , but in 1957 again relegated to the league table second to last. The immediate resurgence was followed by relegation in the 1959 season as the bottom of the table. In 1960 he moved to the top division progress Weissenfels , with whom he was also relegated after one season and retired as a coach.

After three years of work as DFV selection trainer and a short-term engagement as a base trainer for the Rostock district, in the 1965/66 season , Gläser took up the post of trainer at SC Empor Rostock, whose football department was separated from the overall club in the same year as the Hansa Rostock football club . After a fourth place this season, the Rostock team failed to meet their expectations with a tenth place a year later, but made it into the final of the GDR soccer cup , which Gläser's team lost 3-0 to Motor Zwickau .

In the 1967/68 season, however, Hansa played under glasses more successfully in the league and was five points behind FC Carl Zeiss Jena runner-up. In the 1968/69 international trade fair trophy , which was reached for the first time in club history, Rostock prevailed against OGC Nice in the first round , but was eliminated in the second round due to the away goals rule against Fiorentina . When FC Hansa finally had to bury its hopes for the GDR championship in April 1969 , glasses was replaced by his predecessor Lothar Wiesner , who finally finished fourth in the league with the team.

With the start of the 1969/70 football season, glasses took over the training of GDR league team Chemie Wolfen . In 1971 he reached a surprising third place with this team, but in the same year he had to go into the third-class district league, because the BSG had been downgraded due to a violation of the statutes. After rising again in 1972 and relegation again in 1974, Gerhard Gläser ended his coaching career at the age of 62.
