Norbert Elgert (born January 13, 1957 in Gelsenkirchen ) is a former German soccer player and today's coach . Since 1996 he has been active in the A youth team at FC Schalke 04 .

Career

player

Norbert Elgert learned the chimney sweep trade and played for Westfalia Westerkappeln when FC Schalke 04 became aware of him in 1975 . The Bundesliga team signed the young striker , who initially only made three appearances in August 1975 due to a kidney disease . In November 1975 he moved to Westfalia Herne , but returned to Gelsenkirchen in 1978 . In the second half of the 1979/80 season he had the breakthrough and he scored his first Bundesliga goals. The following season he was Schalke's top scorer with ten goals in 23 games - but that was not enough: At the end of the 1981 season, Elgert and his teammates were relegated to the second division .

Elgert initially stayed with Schalke and contributed five goals to the direct rise. He then moved to VfL Osnabrück in 1982 and after just one game for Lower Saxony to SG Wattenscheid 09 in the second division, where he stayed until 1985. His active career then ended at SuS 09 Dinslaken . Overall, Elgert made 58 appearances and 13 goals for Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga; In the 2nd Bundesliga he was used 81 times and scored 21 goals.

Trainer

After his active career, Elgert acquired the trainer's license (together with Klaus Augenthaler ). As a coach he worked in the amateur and youth sector from 1990 to 1992 at SV Schermbeck , in 1993 briefly at SuS 09 Dinslaken, as a U-19 coach from 1993 to 1995 at SG Wattenscheid 09 and in the 1995/96 season at FC Rhade . From there, he returned to FC Schalke 04 in 1996. Rudi Assauer entrusted him with the Bundesliga club's A-youth team. He managed to make this team into one of the most successful youth teams in German football within a few years. In 2002 it led her to the title of "West German Champion" and to the DFB Cup victory in her age group. He brought talents like Christian Pander , Filip Trojan or Sebastian Boenisch into the Schalke professional squad or, like Mike Hanke , into Jürgen Klinsmann's 2006 World Cup squad .

In 2002 Elgert became assistant coach of the Bundesliga professionals at Schalke. But when head coach Frank Neubarth had to leave in the spring of 2003, Elgert was ordered back to the U-19. With great success: in 2005 his team was again DFB Cup winners, in the 2005/06 season the Schalke A-Juniors became German champions with him as coach. The Schalke offspring around Mesut Özil defeated the A-youth of FC Bayern Munich 2-1 in the final . In the 2011/12 season Elgert was able to repeat winning the A youth championship with a 2-1 win against FC Bayern Munich. In the 2014/15 season, his team was again German A youth champions with a 3-1 win against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and secured the third title for Elgert and the fourth championship for Schalke 04. In March 2016, he announced that he wanted to leave the club to start something new. But he would always remain a Schalke. His contract in Gelsenkirchen ran until 2018, but was extended indefinitely in September 2016. Elgert is considered "Germany's most successful young trainer". The long-time trainer is jointly responsible for the good reputation of the youth department.
