Soccer career

player

Manthey celebrated his greatest successes both as a player and as a coach in Dessau . He played his first men's games as a 17-year-old at Meidericher SV in the Niederrhein district class. For the 1932/33 season he moved to the district league club SV Schwarz-Weiß Westende Hamborn for three seasons . In 1936, the now 22-year-old Manthey left the Lower Rhine and joined SV Dessau 05 , which played in the Gauliga Mitte , one of the 16 highest divisions at the time. With the Dessau team, he was coached by ex-national player Karl Höger six times and took part in the finals of the German championship as often. Of the 22 final round matches of SV 05, which never got past the first round, Manthey played 17 games in which he established himself as a permanent midfielder. He played his last final round game for Dessau 05 on April 16, 1944 at the home game against Holstein Kiel (2: 3 nV).

Trainer

After the end of the Second World War, SV Dessau 05 was dissolved in 1945 and replaced by SG Dessau Nord, in which Manthey also played until the summer of 1947. He then switched between Werder Bremen and Dessau Nord for half a year . Karl Höger, his former coach in Dessau, had brought Manthey to Bremen, where the midfielder played twelve games in the Northern Football League . From October 1948, Manthey, now 34 years old, settled in Dessau for a longer period. He became a player coach, initially again at SG Nord, which in 1949 became BSG Waggonbau Dessau . The BSG was one of the founding communities of the Oberliga , which was introduced in 1949 in the Soviet occupation zone (later GDR) as the highest football class. Under Manthey's direction Dessau reached third place in the first league season and on August 28, 1949, after a 1-0 win over Gera Süd, became the first FDGB cup winner . Manthey stayed in Dessau until the end of the 1950/51 season, making 46 out of 60 possible league appearances in which he scored nine goals. Manthey was also a multiple selection player in the district selection center, the Saxony-Anhalt selection (4 games) and the east zone selection (2).

At the beginning of the 1951/52 season, the second division club BSG Stahl Magdeburg , shortly afterwards renamed BSG Motor Mitte, signed Manthey as coach. There he stayed until the end of the 1954/55 season, but did not make the expected promotion to the league. He was then replaced by Heinz Joerk for 17 months , but returned there on September 30, 1956, after BSG Motor Mitte was in acute danger of relegation. He brought the Magdeburg team to third place and in 1957 saw the integration of his team into SC Aufbau Magdeburg . After a bad start to the 1958 GDR league season, Manthey was released on April 27, 1958 after the 8th match day. Afterwards he only trained lower-class teams like TuS 1860 Magdeburg-Neustadt and Chemie Rodleben.
