Olaf Janßen (born October 8, 1966 in Krefeld ) is a former German soccer player and today's soccer coach . He has been Bruno Labbadia's assistant coach at Hertha BSC since April 13, 2020 .
Career
Soccer player
The midfielder Janßen began his professional career at 1. FC Köln . There he made his debut in the 1985/86 season in a 2-0 win against Borussia Dortmund . In a team with the equally young talent Thomas Häßler and the national player Pierre Littbarski , after initially sporadic appearances, he continuously developed into a regular player and played both games in the UEFA Cup final against Real Madrid , in which 1. FC Köln lost.
After a generally weak season for the club, Janßen expanded his position under the new coach Christoph Daum in the following season. Although 1. FC Köln finished the season 1987/88 with third place, the time for Janßen developed as a step backwards, as he had to pause for half a year with a broken ankle and a tendon injury. In the following years he fought his way back to the team and won the runner-up in 1989 with a team from Cologne that was at its peak in an exciting fight against FC Bayern Munich , although he often did not get beyond the role of a substitute or substitute was missing in the crucial phase of the season.
The subsequent 1989/90 season turned out to be the best season in Janßen's football career. As a continuous regular he was again runner-up with Cologne and was in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, which was lost to Juventus Turin , after victories against Red Star Belgrade and Royal Antwerp . This series of continuous missions was only interrupted by a red card , the only one in his career, in the game against Borussia Dortmund.
At the beginning of the new decade, Janßen had to undergo surgery on his Achilles tendon in July 1991 . This resulted in a total of 18 months of failure, so that he only made his comeback at the end of the season in April 1992. This turned out to be successful when the club achieved a UEFA Cup place under the recently installed coach Jörg Berger . In the four other seasons in which Cologne showed a clear downward trend after Littbarski's departure and only narrowly escaped relegation twice, Janßen was one of the few constants in the ever-changing midfield.
Before the beginning of the 1996/97 season, he moved to the second division club Eintracht Frankfurt after more than a decade in the service of 1. FC Köln . There he injured his knee during the winter break of his first season and had to sit out for four months after an operation. In his second season in Frankfurt, he had to undergo seven operations on the Achilles tendon and despite his help in the club's promotion to the Bundesliga, Janßen paused a total of 13 months.
His renewed comeback in the Bundesliga turned out to be positive and in the second half of the 1998/99 season he was part of the team that spectacularly prevented the almost certain relegation with a 5-1 home win against 1. FC Kaiserslautern on the last match day. In the following season Janßen was further converted into a central defender and played temporarily on loan at the Swiss club AC Bellinzona .
Trainer and functionary
Before the start of the 2000/01 season, Janßen ended his active career after 241 Bundesliga games. Since August 2000 he worked as a scout for the Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt, while his family continued to live in Cologne. After Janßen had in the meantime acquired the A coaching license , he ended his scouting activities in January 2001 by mutual agreement with the Frankfurt club management and from then on worked for the scouting company Soccer Collection .
For the 2003/04 season Janßen got a job as assistant coach at Bundesliga club TSV 1860 Munich , where he assisted his former Cologne team-mate Falko Götz . Immediately after his dismissal in April 2004, Janßen also left the club. He completed his training as a football teacher in 2004 together with Maren Meinert and André Schubert as the best of his year.
Since the beginning of the 2005/06 season, Janßen was the sports director of the regional league club Rot-Weiss Essen . There he initially worked with the coach Uwe Neuhaus , who led the team to the second division in the same season. After Neuhaus was dismissed on November 8, 2006 due to lack of success, Janßen temporarily acted as interim coach before the club signed Lorenz-Günther Köstner as a new coach nine days later . Nevertheless, Rot-Weiss Essen was relegated to the Regionalliga Nord again at the end of the season. On March 23, 2008, the club separated from Janßen and drew the consequences of the persistent sporting misery in the Regionalliga.
Janßen then worked from July 2009 as an assistant coach under Berti Vogts for the Azerbaijani national team . On September 4, 2013, he succeeded Peter Pacult as head coach of the second division club Dynamo Dresden and signed a contract until June 30, 2015. Janßen took over the team as bottom of the table with just three points after six match days and won the next eleven games Dynamo under his direction 17 points and finished the first half of the 2013/14 season in 13th place in the table. At the end of the season with five wins and 17 draws to date, Dynamo Dresden welcomed Arminia Bielefeld to a direct duel for the relegation place on matchday 34 . The game ended in a 2: 3 defeat, which meant relegation to the third division for Dynamo Dresden and led to the dismissal of Olaf Janßen as head coach.
From the end of 2014 Janßen was employed as a consultant for Rah Ahan , who played in the Persian Gulf Pro League , the highest league in Iranian football. There he was responsible for the training of the coaches and advised the respective head coach on the training design. After several coach changes and in the management of the club, Janßen resigned in March 2015.
At the beginning of the 2016/17 season Janßen was assistant coach under Jos Luhukay at VfB Stuttgart, who had previously been relegated . After Luhukay's resignation, he took on the role of interim coach for two games on September 15, 2016. After signing the new head coach Hannes Wolf , Janßen moved to the scouting department at VfB Stuttgart. On November 2, 2016, he then moved to the coaching staff of FC St. Pauli .
From May 24, 2017 Janßen was head coach at FC St. Pauli after Ewald Lienen switched to the position of technical director. He was released on December 6, 2017. His successor was Markus Kauczinski .
In January 2018, Janßen became the head coach of the regional league club FC Viktoria Köln as the successor to Marco Antwerp .
For the 2018/19 season Janßen received a contract as second assistant coach from Bruno Labbadia (alongside Eddy Sözer ) at Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg , which was also terminated in summer 2019 when Labbadia's contract ended.
On April 13, 2020, Labbadia, Sözer and Janßen took over the Bundesliga team from Hertha BSC in their usual constellation .
For winning the bronze medal at the 1988 Olympic Games, he and the entire German Olympic football team were awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf.
