Heinz Höher (born August 11, 1938 in Leverkusen ; † November 7, 2019 in Nuremberg ) was a German football player and coach .

Career

player

At the end of the 1961/62 season, Höher was promoted to the Bundesliga West with Bayer 04 Leverkusen . Despite a good season in which only one of the games was lost against the ten later founding members of the Bundesliga, Leverkusen could not qualify for this. As a result, Höher joined the Meidericher SV, which was included in the newly founded Bundesliga in 1963 . As a result, Höher moved to the Netherlands for one year (1965/66) for FC Twente Enschede , before joining the then regional league club VfL Bochum in the summer of 1966 . With VfL, Höher als player reached the DFB Cup final in Ludwigshafen am Rhein in 1968 , but lost it 1: 4 against the highly popular 1. FC Köln .

During his time at Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Höher made nine international matches for the German amateur national team .

Trainer

Höher began his coaching career in 1970 at VfL Bochum as assistant coach to Hermann Eppenhoff . In October 1970 he became head coach of the regional division black and white Essen . For the 1972/73 season he returned to VfL Bochum, where he remained head coach for seven years without interruption - making Höher the longest-serving coach in Bochum's Bundesliga history to this day . He then worked for MSV Duisburg , Fortuna Düsseldorf and 1. FC Nürnberg , where Höher moved to managerial post in 1988. In Nuremberg, too, Höher was the longest-serving coach at four and a half years. In 1989/90 he accepted an engagement with the Saudi Arabian association al-Ittihad from Jeddah . A comeback attempt on the coaching bench failed in 1996 at VfB Lübeck for health reasons: On his first day at work in Lübeck , Höher collapsed on the training ground after a circulatory collapse.

Heinz Höher, who discovered and promoted Juri Judt during his last coaching activity as a youth coach at SpVgg Greuther Fürth , most recently lived in Franconia .

Personal

Höher was born in Leverkusen in August 1938 and grew up in the Wiesdorf district . After his time in football ended in 1996, he lived in Franconia . As of 2010, he was a dry alcoholic . He died on November 7, 2019 at the age of 81.
