Oliver Reck (born February 27, 1965 in Frankfurt am Main ) is a former German soccer goalkeeper and today's soccer coach . He is the head coach of SSV Jeddeloh .

Player career

society

In the Bundesliga he played for Kickers Offenbach , Werder Bremen and FC Schalke 04 . From 1983 to 2003 he played a total of 471 games as a goalkeeper and scored a goal from a penalty against FC St. Pauli .

Reck began his career in the 1983/84 season in the Bundesliga with Kickers from Offenbach. On matchday 20, February 4, 1984, he made his league debut against 1. FC Cologne . In the 2-0 win, the goalkeeper was in the starting line-up. From then on, he replaced Valentin Herr as the goalkeeper. But also Reck could not fend off the relegation, so that the Offenbacher had to play second class in the following season. There the young player made it to the undisputed number 1 and played 38 games, together with Bernd Beck most of this game year. As personally as my own career progressed, the league went badly. Offenbach was relegated again and Reck decided in the summer of 1985 to move to Werder Bremen . From then on he was number three behind Dieter Burdenski and Klaus Funk for two years . In the summer of 1987 he finally replaced Burdenski, who was 15 years older, and Reck was trusted by Werder trainer Otto Rehhagel . On August 1, 1987, the goalkeeper made his league debut for the North Germans in the away game against Hannover 96 . Until 1998, Reck was the Bremen goalkeeper and, apart from the 1995/96 season, always played 30 or more games for the club. During this time he won the DFB Cup in 1991 and 1994 , the German championship in 1988 and 1993 and the success in the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1992. In the European Cup final, however, it was not high bar, but his substitute Jürgen Rollmann who played bar in the final after a yellow card was suspended because of a slap against an opponent in the semi-final second leg.

In the summer of 1998, Reck moved to league rivals FC Schalke 04 . There he had to wait until matchday 16 before he could make his league debut for the Royal Blues . Until 2002 he was the goalkeeper in Gelsenkirchen. With the commitment of Frank Rost , his successor was brought to Schalke in 2002/03. Reck played two more league games. His last on November 17, 2002 against VfL Bochum . As in Bremen, Reck was able to celebrate the German Cup victory with Schalke in 2001 and 2002 .

Despite his numerous titles with Werder Bremen, Reck was and is mainly associated with his nickname "Pannen-Olli" by many football fans. The nickname came about due to some spectacular goalkeeping mistakes that Reck made in the course of his career. Especially at the beginning of his career at Werder Bremen, he made a few mistakes and insecurities. Nevertheless, his coach at the time, Otto Rehhagel, stood by him unconditionally. Rehhagel and others repeatedly criticized the tabloid press, which contributed significantly to the establishment of the nickname.

Reck long held the record for the fewest goals conceded (22) in a Bundesliga season, which he set up in 1988. Only Oliver Kahn in the 2007/08 season (21) and Manuel Neuer in the 2012/13 season (18) conceded fewer goals. Reck played a total of 173 Bundesliga games to zero in his career.

National team

In 1988 he took part in the Olympic Games in Seoul with the German Olympic team, but was not used there. The team won the bronze medal.

The only time he played in the national team was on June 4, 1996, in a 9-1 win against Liechtenstein . In the same year he was European football champion in England with the German team , but was not used at the tournament. For this he was honored - together with the team - with the silver laurel leaf from Federal President Roman Herzog .

Coaching career

After Frank Neubarth's dismissal in March 2003, Reck became the assistant coach of Marc Wilmots at Schalke 04. From the 2003/04 season he was mainly goalkeeping coach, but also assistant coach under the interim coach Eddy Achterberg . In the summer of 2005 he completed the trainer course for the A license of the German Football Association. From July to November 2005, he trained as a football teacher . On December 12, 2005, after the leave of absence from head coach Ralf Rangnick, he became interim coach at Schalke. He held this post until January 4, 2006, the day Mirko Slomka was appointed as the new head coach. During his interim coaching period there was only one game, a 2-0 draw at VfB Stuttgart on December 17th. With the appointment of Slomka as the new head coach, Reck took over the job of goalkeeping coach again.

After Fred Rutten's leave of absence on March 26, 2009, he again led the training of the first Schalke team temporarily until the end of the 2008/09 season, together with Mike Büskens and Youri Mulder . With the commitment of Felix Magath as head coach from the following season, the trio was completely replaced. Bernd Dreher took over Reck's post as goalkeeping coach . For the 2010/11 season Reck took over the post of goalkeeping coach at the second division club MSV Duisburg . After coach Milan Šašić was on leave of absence on October 28, 2011, he was initially appointed as interim coach before he was permanently appointed head coach on November 8, 2011. After three defeats at the beginning of the 2012/13 season, Reck was dismissed by the MSV on August 25, 2012.

For the 2013/14 season, Reck signed a two-year contract as goalkeeping coach at Fortuna Düsseldorf . After the club split from head coach Mike Büskens , Reck was appointed "interim coach". On December 30, 2013, he was replaced by the new head coach Lorenz-Günther Köstner and Reck took over the post of goalkeeping coach again. From the 29th match day to the end of the season he represented the sick Köstner and, as the person in charge, including the games as interim coach, scored 22 out of a possible 27 points. For the 2014/15 season , the contract with Köstner was terminated and Reck was confirmed as head coach. On February 23, 2015, Reck was given leave of absence from the board of Fortuna Düsseldorf.

On January 27, 2016, Reck became the coach of his youth club Kickers Offenbach , where he succeeded Rico Schmitt . His contract was not renewed after the 2017/18 season , in which he finished third with the team.

During the winter break of the 2019/20 regional league season , Reck took over the position of head coach at fifteenth SSV Jeddeloh from interim coach Ansgar Schnabel on January 1, 2020 .
