Career

FC Schalke 04

The up -and- coming striker Hans Nowak, who had already been named youth national player on April 9, 1955 in Pisa as part of the FIFA tournament in a 0-0 draw against Portugal, moved in the summer of 1958 after two rounds in the 2nd West League at Eintracht Gelsenkirchen with a total of 42 league appearances and 16 goals to the German champions of 1958 , FC Schalke 04 . There he was called up after some time as a defensive player, who should occasionally switch on the offensive.

After many years of waiting, the "Knappen" were finally able to win the championship trophy for Schalke again on May 18, 1958, in front of 80,000 spectators in Hanover with a surprisingly clear 3-0 win against Hamburger SV . Under the Austrian coach Edi Frühwirth at the side of the master players Orzessek , Borutta , Laszig , Koslowski , Kreuz and Klodt , the league era began for him in the west. In terms of rank, however, the success of 1958 could only be built on in the 1961/62 season - then with the coach Georg Gawliczek . The team took second place in the Oberliga West behind 1. FC Köln and thus moved into the championship finals, but failed at the defending champion 1. FC Nürnberg . Nowak played a total of 98 league games (until 1963) and scored 24 goals.

The first two seasons of Schalke in the newly created league went completely wrong. In the 1964/65 season only the increase from 16 to 18 clubs saved the club of Ernst Kuzorra and Fritz Szepan from second class, which the then national players Nowak, Willi Schulz , Günter Herrmann , Willi Koslowski and "Stan" Libuda could not prevent . After this bankruptcy season Nowak moved to FC Bayern Munich . He had played 47 games for Schalke in the Bundesliga and scored three goals. During his time in Schalke, he ran a specialist tile shop in Essen-Katernberg.

FC Bayern Munich

He played for the newcomer to the Bundesliga from 1965 to 1968 and played only 37 games in which he scored four goals due to injury. During this time he won the DFB Cup with Bayern in 1966 : On June 4, MSV Duisburg was defeated in Frankfurt am Main with 4-2 goals; together with Werner Olk he was able to convince in defense. 1967 - when defending his title - he was not in the team; but on May 31, 1967 in the final of the European Cup winners competition against the Glasgow Rangers , which FC Bayern Munich won 1-0 in extra time thanks to a goal by Franz Roth and thus succeeded Borussia Dortmund .

For winning the European Cup, he and the FC Bayern team received the Silver Laurel Leaf on December 3, 1967.

Kickers Offenbach

In the 1968/69 season he played on the "Bieberer Berg". In just twelve missions, he could not prevent the Hessians from relegating to the second division. With the 0: 3 away defeat at Borussia Dortmund on June 7, 1969 (34th matchday) the OFC ended the season with 28:40 points and Hans Nowak left the league at the same time. Due to constant health problems, Nowak ended his professional career and went first as a player-coach and then exclusively as a trainer at 1. FC Hochstadt .

National team

With his consistently good defensive performance in the club, he drew national coach Sepp Herberger's attention to himself, so that he appointed Nowak to the German national soccer team in 1961 . On September 20, he made his debut in Düsseldorf in a 5-1 win over Denmark . He defended at the side of Karl-Heinz Schnellinger and goalkeeper Hans Tilkowski from Westfalia Herne .

At the 1962 World Cup in Chile, Nowak and Schnellinger played all games in defense, with the encounters against Italy, Switzerland, Chile and Yugoslavia always placing particularly high demands on the defense. The defense game was the big plus of the DFB-Elf in these World Cup days in South America. On the defensive, the team was completely convincing - it was one of the best of the tournament. However, this quality did not continue successfully in the game, although Uwe Seeler , Helmut Haller , Albert Brülls and Hans Schäfer also had staff available on the offensive with whom one did not need to hide from anyone in good shape.

The soccer world championship was the high point in Hans Nowak's career. His 15th and last game in the national team he played on November 4, 1964 in Berlin against the Swedes . It was also the first game in the responsibility of the new national coach Helmut Schön and a World Cup qualifier for the 1966 World Cup in England; so the game was of particular importance. Nowak defended again alongside Karl-Heinz Schnellinger and with Hans Tilkowski in goal. Despite the great superiority of the German team, the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Further career

Nowak worked as a businessman for the sporting goods manufacturer Puma and coached 1. FC Herzogenaurach , sponsored by his employer , with whom he was promoted to the Bayern League. From 1996 to 2008 he held a leading position in merchandising at FC Bayern Munich. He was a family man of two.
