Josef "Jupp" Derwall (born March 10, 1927 in Würselen ; † June 26, 2007 in St. Ingbert ) was a German football player and coach . From October 11, 1978 to June 20, 1984 Derwall was the German national coach .

Youth and first job as a football player

Derwall grew up in Würselen, where he attended elementary school until he switched to a grammar school in Aachen . He also started playing football in Würselen. At the age of 16 he played in the first team of Rhenania Würselen in 1943 . After finishing school, he took up a position in the engineering department of the Eschweiler Bergwerkverein because he wanted to become a mechanical engineer.

Derwall was called up for labor service in Altenburg and then for the air force . He was stationed in Berlin and then in Braunschweig- Waggum and Goslar . In 1945 he was taken prisoner by the Americans in the Harz Mountains . He ended up in the Welda camp near Warburg and was then transferred to French captivity to work in a mine. Derwall fled by jumping from the freight wagon and made his way to his parents who had been evacuated to Cloppenburg . There he played for BV Cloppenburg . In 1946 he returned to Würselen, where he played again for Rhenania.

Career as a player

With Rhenania Würselen Derwall became Middle Rhine Champion in 1947 and rose to the Oberliga West . Jupp Derwall scored the decisive goal. After this game he met the former Reich and soon to be national trainer Sepp Herberger , who invited him to tea. Both in 1948 and 1949 Würselen managed to stay in the league. In 1949 Derwall moved to Alemannia Aachen , for which he played 109 games in the Oberliga West, in which he scored 41 goals. With Aachen he reached the DFB Cup final in 1953 , which was lost 2-1 to Rot-Weiss Essen on May 1, 1953 in Düsseldorf (Derwall scored the connecting goal). He then received an offer from Fortuna Düsseldorf and signed a contract there. The West German Football Association refused to release on the grounds that without Derwall the existence of Alemannia would be at stake. Derwall was finally banned from competitive games for two seasons. The ban was eventually shortened to one year. He therefore came to no more competitive game in the 1953/54 season.

In 1954, after the World Cup , he played his only two international matches for the senior team . In his first game he wore the jersey with the number 10, which Werner Liebrich had previously worn. He took part in the international matches against England in London on December 1, 1954, which was lost 3-1, and against Portugal on December 19, 1954 in Lisbon, which was won 3-0. Before that, he had played an international match for the B national team , which had lost 3-1 to Austria on March 22, 1953 in Vienna .

After his suspension he played from 1954 to 1959 for Fortuna Düsseldorf in the Oberliga West. He scored 47 goals in 110 games for Fortuna and reached the DFB Cup final with Fortuna in 1957 and 1958 . In 1957, however, it was not used in the final. He then left his career in Switzerland fade away, from where he available as player-coach of the currently in the National League A Ascended FC Biel received. From 1959 to 1961 he played as a player-coach for FC Biel in the first division of Switzerland and then in the 1961/62 season also as a player-coach for FC Schaffhausen . He was Swiss runner-up with FC Biel in 1960, and in 1961 he made it to a cup final for the fourth time in his career.

Career as a coach

Player-coach in Switzerland and first stations in Germany

The qualified sports teacher Derwall began his coaching career in 1959 as a player-coach at the then National League A promoted FC Biel in Switzerland; He completed the coaching course nearby, at the Swiss Sports School in Magglingen . With Biel, Derwall was immediately runner-up in the 1959/60 season , six points behind the BSC Young Boys . In the following season he finished tenth with the club, but reached the final of the Swiss Cup with the Bielers , which was then lost 1-0 to FC La Chaux-de-Fonds . In the 1961/62 season , Derwall moved again to a newcomer, FC Schaffhausen , but this time rose one point away from the Young Fellows Zurich as 13th.

After the end of his playing career as a coach, he returned to Germany, to his former club Fortuna Düsseldorf , which he looked after for a year in the last season of the Oberliga West . After one and a half year break Derwall 1965 took over during the season , succeeding Helmut Schneider to 1. FC Saarbrücken and was with this master of second-class Regionalliga Southwest what to participate in group 2 the promotion round to league legitimate. There the club finished second behind FC Bayern Munich and thus stayed in the regional league.

German national team

At the 1972 Olympic Games , in which the amateur national team of the Federal Republic was set as the organizer, he trained a team made up of contract amateurs (including the later master coach Ottmar Hitzfeld and the later world champion and Bayern manager Uli Hoeneß ), which in the intermediate round at the A-national teams of Hungary and the GDR failed.

After the 1978 World Cup , he succeeded Helmut Schön as national coach, under whom he had already worked as assistant coach of the senior national team from 1970 to 1978 ; Schön had already announced his resignation before the World Cup. Derwall's tenure began with the longest series without a loss (23 games), within this series - with 12 games won - also the longest winning streak.

Derwall's greatest successes as national coach were winning the 1980 European Football Championship in Italy and second place at the 1982 World Cup in Spain . During his time as national coach, Max Merkel gave him the nickname “Chief, undulating silver lock”.

After the early elimination due to a 0: 1 against Spain in the preliminary round of the European Championship in 1984 , Derwall, who was under pressure - to an extent not known up to that point for a national coach - resigned. He himself had apparently initially wanted to continue his work and had already talked about preparing for the upcoming qualification for the 1986 World Cup. However, he had long since become a target of the tabloids and was also exposed to violent verbal attacks in public, which culminated in personal insults and verbal abuse. In this situation it was practically impossible for Derwall to remain in office and he was the first national coach to give up his post prematurely. His successor was Franz Beckenbauer .

In Turkey

From 1984 to 1988 he coached Galatasaray Istanbul and won the Turkish championship twice and the cup once with the club , with which he was rehabilitated in the public eye. He himself received an honorary doctorate from Ankara University in 1989.

Until recently, Derwall wrote as a columnist for the specialist magazine kicker . In 2002 his autobiography was published.

Jupp Derwall died on June 26, 2007 at the age of 80 after a short, serious illness in his house in St. Ingbert in Saarland . The greats of German and Turkish football such as Franz Beckenbauer, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge , Joachim Löw , Fatih Terim and Mustafa Denizli attended his funeral in the old cemetery of St. Ingbert .
