Autograph by Karl-Heinz Körbel from the 1978/79 season

Karl-Heinz "Charly" Körbel (born December 1, 1954 in Dossenheim , Baden-Württemberg ) is a former German soccer player and soccer coach . Körbel, who played exclusively for Eintracht Frankfurt during his professional career , holds the record for the most appearances in the Bundesliga with 602 games . He is the board member of the youth soccer club Frankfurt am Main.

Player career

Körbel began playing football in his early youth at FC Dossenheim . At the age of 17, the Vorstopper switched to Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt in 1972 , to whom he remained loyal until the end of his career at the age of 36 in 1991. In addition to his 602 Bundesliga games, he played 70 DFB Cup and 48 European Cup games. During this time he scored 45 Bundesliga goals and three goals in the DFB Cup and three in European Cup games.

Körbel experienced his greatest success in 1980 when he won the UEFA Cup with his team . He also won the DFB Cup four times: 1974 , 1975 , 1981 and 1988 . However, he never became German champion, third (1975, 1990) and fourth (1974, 1977, 1991) places were the best results. In 1984 and 1989 he only achieved relegation with Frankfurt via relegation .

He had to watch the relegation games in 1984 as a spectator because he broke his shin on the fourth last match day of the 1983/84 season - after he had previously contributed significantly to the 3-1 home win against 1. FC Nürnberg with two goals . It remained the only serious injury in his 19-year professional career. In 1989, Körbel made sure with a headed goal in the 1-1 draw in the last game at Hannover 96 that Eintracht was allowed to go into relegation and not directly relegated. In retrospect, Körbel rated that goal in the Lower Saxony Stadium as the most important goal of his career - more important than his decisive goal in the 1-0 win in the 1975 DFB Cup final , also in the Lower Saxony Stadium.

In the penultimate game of the 1990/91 season against FC St. Pauli, Körbel received his fourth yellow card from referee Michael Prengel , so that he was banned from the following game according to the regulations at the time. So this game was already his last Bundesliga game and not, as originally planned, the home game against VfB Stuttgart on the last matchday in the Waldstadion.

Körbel's national team career spanned six appearances in 1974 and 1975.

In his 602 Bundesliga appearances, in the DFB Cup and in the European Cup, Körbel has never been sent off.

On October 6, 1991, a farewell game for "Charly" was held. In his career he played over 320 friendlies in which he scored over 60 goals.

Further life

After the end of his career in 1991, Körbel first became a coaching assistant for the Frankfurt professional team. Between 1994 and 1996 he was head coach twice for a short time at the same club. He then worked in the 2nd Bundesliga at VfB Lübeck and FSV Zwickau as a coach. He later got a job as a scout at Eintracht .

Körbel is still an advisor to the board of Eintracht Frankfurt today and also runs the club's soccer school. In 2007 he founded the youth soccer club Frankfurt am Main, in which young talents from Germany, partly also from Europe, are trained at the highest level by former professional soccer players.

After Fritz Walter , Körbel is the patron of the Schlappekicker campaign of the Frankfurter Rundschau , which among other things supports athletes in need. Körbel is an ambassador for the Respekt! No place for racism .

Körbel owns the sports shop “Sport-Körbel” in his home town of Dossenheim. He was the city of Frankfurt's ambassador for the 2011 Women's World Cup in Germany. On January 1, 2016 he became the new sports director of the Hessen league club SC Hessen Dreieich , where he was elected Vice President on June 28, 2016. Due to disagreements with patron Nolte, he announced his resignation on March 31, 2019.

Honors

Since January 23, 2013, a picture of Körbel has adorned one of the twelve “Pillars of Unity” in the Willy-Brandt-Platz subway station in Frankfurt. In February 2020, Körbel was the first football player to receive the plaque of honor from the city of Frankfurt am Main .
