Heinz Werner (born December 27, 1935 in Uenglingen ) is a former German football player and coach.

As an active football player, the all-round player Werner ran through the youth teams of the BSG Lok Stendal from 1950 , for whose 1st men's team he ran up to 1960 in the upper league and the GDR league as the highest divisions in the GDR . Between 1956 and 1959 he played 39 league games for Lok Stendal. Afterwards Werner played until 1966 with the BSG Motor Schwerin , which is mainly based in the third-class district league , and took over their coaching position for the following season 1966/67.

In 1968/69 Werner, who had completed his training as a qualified sports teacher, was Horst Saß's assistant coach at the GDR league promoted BSG KKW Greifswald , where he became head coach the following year after Saß left for Hansa Rostock . After only one season as coach in Greifswald, Werner followed his predecessor Saß to FC Hansa in the 1970/71 season and was again his assistant coach. 1973/74 Werner then took over the head coach of the league club, with which he initially occupied seventh place in the final table. But when Hansa played against relegation to the second-rate GDR league in the following season in the 1974/75 season , Werner was dismissed from office by party official Harry Tisch during the home defeat against Carl Zeiss Jena on March 8, 1975 during the game .

In January of the 1975/76 season Werner was coach of the second division 1. FC Union Berlin , which he led back to the league in the same season. Three seasons with final placements in the lower half of the table until 1978/79 Union was able to keep under Werner in the highest East German division, until 1979/80 the renewed relegation to the GDR league followed. Despite the renewed rise of the Berliners in the 1981/82 season, Werner was replaced in July 1982 by Harry Nippert , who had already been one of his successors as a trainer in Rostock.

Werner then became coach of the second division club BSG Stahl Brandenburg , with whom he immediately succeeded in advancing to the top division. In this he placed steel in the 1984/85 season in eleventh place in the final table , before he moved in 1985 to the league competitor FC Karl-Marx-Stadt . At the beginning of 1989, Werner and Frank Engel were appointed by the GDR Football Association as Manfred Zapf's assistant in the GDR national team. He had previously vehemently opposed this task, but finally gave in after threatening sanctions. The engagement lasted until June 19, 1989, after the national team had practically gambled away the World Cup qualification and the coaching trio was then dismissed.

After German reunification , Werner worked as the sports director of 1. FC Union Berlin and for the Association of German Football Teachers. He also worked in the 1993/94 season as an amateur and youth coordinator at MSV Duisburg , whose second team he also coached. In 1995 he moved to China , where he was in charge of the FC Matsunichi and Elektronic Guangzon clubs. In 1997/98 Werner was the coach of FSV Zwickau , which was competing in the 2nd Bundesliga , for a few months . Werner was an assessor at the Federal Court of the German Football Association for several years .
