from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Kunkel (born February 10, 1956 ) is a former German soccer player and today's soccer coach who played 310 games with 87 goals for SG Wattenscheid 09 in the 2nd Bundesliga from July 1, 1978 to June 30, 1988 .

career

At the age of 22, amateur footballer Peter Kunkel from Union Frintrop came to the Lohrheidestadion in Wattenscheid for the 1978/79 round . Coach Hubert Schieth was faced with the task of compensating for the departures of the top performers Carlos Babington and Hans-Günter Bruns and therefore had signed the other newcomers Michael Jakobs and Helmut Reiners after consultation with the 1st chairman Klaus Steilmann . The man from Frintrop impressed immediately in his 34 appearances with 13 hits in the first round at SG 09 and topped the internal goalscorer list with five hits ahead of Helmut Reiners. Kunkel celebrated his debut in the 2nd Bundesliga on the first day of the season, on July 29, 1978, in the 2-0 home win against Holstein Kiel, where he also contributed the goal to the 2-0 final score in the 74th minute. When Kunkel was able to increase his hit rate to 18 goals in the second season, 1979/80, and Ewald Hammes had the same track record, coach Schieth's team took a good fifth place in the northern group of the 2nd division. When things didn't go well in 1980/81, however, from February 1981 Klaus Hilpert took over from coach Schieth, at the end of the round the Lohrheid team was in 10th place, Kunkel and Reiners had scored 16 goals each and Gerhard Drews also scored 15 goals.

The problems with adapting to the concentration of forces in the "single-track" 2nd Bundesliga 1981/82 cost coach Hilpert the job in April 1982, he was replaced by Fahrudin Jusufi and Kunkel and Reiners had to be content with eight goals each. The SG 09 landed in 17th place and would have been relegated, the salvation was the withdrawal of the license from TSV 1860 Munich . In the next two rounds, 1983 and 1984, the fight to stay in Wattenscheid was in the foreground. When the path to midfield was successful again, from 1985 to 1987, new goal scorers with Harald Kügler , Waldemar Steubing , Uwe Tschiskale and Sergio Allievi were at work alongside Peter Kunkel .

In the summer of 1987 Peter Kunkel officially withdrew as a player from the 2nd division, ended his playing career and took over the position of assistant coach for the amateur team at SG 09. Since it went unexpectedly well in the 1987/88 round, the team around coach Gerd Roggensack had realistic prospects of promotion, Kunkel celebrated a comeback in the last six competitive games in the 2nd division and played again in the games against Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin, Rot -Weiß Oberhausen, Ulm 1846, Union Solingen, VfL Osnabrück and 1. FC Saarbrücken. With a score of 8: 4 points from these games, Wattenscheid came fourth in the table, tied with third, SV Darmstadt 98 . The “lilies” from Böllenfalltor therefore had the chance to get promoted to the Bundesliga through relegation games against the third bottom of the first division, SV Waldhof Mannheim. Waldhof received the league in the playoff on penalties. The last 2nd league game played Peter Kunkel on May 29, 1988 in a 1-1 away game against 1. FC Saarbrücken in Ludwigspark. In the 43rd minute he brought his team 1-0 lead. He then finally ended his career in the 2nd Bundesliga. The SG 09 celebrated the longed-for promotion to the first division two years later, in the 1989/90 round.

Stations of his later coaching career were among others Rot-Weiss Essen (assistant coach) 2005/06, SSVg Velbert 2008/09 and VfB Speldorf 2009-2011. He currently works for Rot-Weiß Oberhausen , where he initially looked after the U-23s and took over the first team in September 2012 as the successor to Mario Basler . After two years as head coach of the regional league team, he took over the reserve team for the clovers again in summer 2014.
