Maik Walpurgis (born October 9, 1973 in Herford ) is a German football coach . From September 11, 2018 to February 24, 2019, he was the coach of the second division team Dynamo Dresden .

Coaching career

Walpurgis played in the youth field, but at the age of 18, after repeated injuries, he was unable to continue his active career as a soccer player and instead chose a career as a coach. Walpurgis initially started his work in the junior performance area before moving to the senior sector at the age of 26.

Walpurgis took up his first coaching position in July 1992 at SC Herford , where he worked until June 1998. Then he looked after the U-19 team of the second division FC Gütersloh . With the U-19 he was Westphalia champion and rose to the regional league . Due to the bankruptcy of the club, he left this in December 1999. From January 2000 he coached the club SV Enger-Westerenger , with which he rose in 2001 to the Association League Westphalia . In the summer of 2002 he returned to Gütersloh , where this time he took over the first team of FC Gütersloh 2000 , the successor club of FC Gütersloh. From the 2003/2004 season he took over as coach in the second team of Arminia Bielefeld . In the first year he and his team were first division champions and rose to the Regionalliga Nord . His contract there originally ran until June 2005. However, Walpurgis resigned from his post in January 2005, as he felt that he was not getting the full support of the club.

In September 2008 Maik Walpurgis became the coach of Sportfreunde Lotte , with whom he subsequently regularly played for the top places in the Regional League West . In the 2008-09 season the team reached the final of Westphalia Cup , after which it the following season 2009/2010 the German Cup was allowed to participate. In the 2012/13 season Walpurgis was with Lotte champion of the Regionalliga West, but failed in the following promotion games to the 3rd division at RB Leipzig . Despite an existing contract in Lotte, Walpurgis made the move to third division VfL Osnabrück in the 2013/14 season . In doing so, Walpurgis relied on an orally promised exit option. However, Sportfreunde Lotte were unwilling to release their coach, which led to a legal battle that was settled through an agreement between the clubs. In August 2015, Osnabrück parted ways with Walpurgis after a weak start to the third division season 2015/16 .

Bundesliga club FC Ingolstadt 04 signed Walpurgis on November 12, 2016 as head coach. He was released on August 22, 2017.

On September 11, 2018, Walpurgis succeeded Uwe Neuhaus as the new head coach of Dynamo Dresden . His engagement ended after 166 days; the association separated from him on February 24, 2019.
