Ralf Hermanutz (born July 7, 1970 in Riedlingen ) is a former German soccer goalkeeper and today's goalkeeping coach. For SC Pfullendorf he has played well over 300 regional league games since 1998, and for SSV Reutlingen he was in goal in ten second division games in the 2000/01 season.

Career

In his youth, Ralf Hermanutz played for the clubs TSV Riedlingen (1976-78), SV Binzwangen (1978-85) and Sportfreunde Hundersingen (1985-88). The 18-year-old young talent then moved to FV Biberach , who during these years commuted between the fourth-rate association league and the fifth-rate state league Württemberg. In 1994 the club managed to return to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg as champions of the association league , where the blue-yellows were able to establish themselves in midfield from the 1994/95 season .

Thanks to his consistently good performance, Hermanutz had long since earned his place as a regular goalkeeper when the now 27-year-old moved to league rivals SC Pfullendorf for the 1997/98 season. Behind the amateurs of VfB Stuttgart, who dominated the league this year, the team trained by Wilfried Ritter managed to fight for second place. Hermanutz was the reliable support of the SCP in 26 of the 30 league games, which then prevailed in relegation games against the runners-up from Bavaria and Hesse, SG Quelle Fürth and SV Bernbach and rose to the Regionalliga Süd . Even in the top amateur league, Hermanutz was the goalkeeper who played all 34 league games. The fight against relegation was close, at the end of the 1998/99 season there were only five points between tenth and last place in the table; the SCP was finally able to keep the class as 16th. The following year, SC Pfullendorf, which had a comparatively small budget, caused a surprise. With the engagement of the young coach Frank Wormuth , the club had hit the bull's eye. Under Wormuth, with Hermanutz between the posts (28 games) and the Croatian striker duo Marko Barlecaj and Ivica Magdic (17 hits each), the team achieved an unexpected second place behind Ligaprimus SSV Reutlingen in the 1999/2000 season . In the subsequent round of promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga, the team from the Waldstadion could not prevail against 1. FC Union Berlin and LR Ahlen .

Hermanutz then accepted an offer from the second division club SSV Reutlingen and thus played for the first time in the professional camp in the 2000/01 season . Promotion coach Armin Veh , who added just four players to the squad in addition to Hermanutz, trusted the newcomer from Pfullendorf at the start of the season, so that Ralf Hermanutz played for the opening game against FSV Mainz 05 on August 13, 2000. In front of an officially almost 7,000 spectators in the newly converted stadium on the Kreuzeiche, the black and whites fought a 3-2 victory in the first second division game after 24 years. At the same point, the SSV almost managed a surprise two weeks later in the first main round of the DFB Cup against Bundesliga club Hertha BSC, who played with Sebastian Deisler, Dariusz Wosz and Michael Preetz, among others: The team only sat down in extra time Röber-Elf beat Armin Veh's team 3-2. The “zero five” caused surprises in the further course of the season, proved to be the strongest team in the league at home (only one defeat at the Kreuzeichen) and finished in a respectable seventh place in the table at the end of the round. For Hermanutz, however, the season was not as happy: From the third day of the match, Veh again put last year's goalkeeper Marco Langner on. Only when he was canceled after a red card in the away game at Borussia Mönchengladbach, Hermanutz came to further missions. He was also actively involved in two other highlights of the season: the 8-2 win over 1. FC Saarbrücken and the derby in front of a sold out house against SSV Ulm (2-2). After the winter break, however, Hermanutz was no longer used, because Armin Veh had signed the Serbian Goran Ćurko from league rival Arminia Bielefeld as the new "number 1". Ralf Hermanutz made a total of ten league appearances this season, his last second division game he played on December 18, 2000 in Mainz (1: 1).

After only one season in Reutlingen, Hermanutz returned to SC Pfullendorf in the summer of 2001, which had meanwhile been relegated to the league again. A year later, he was again promoted to the third division. Until 2011, Hermanutz was in the goal of the SCP Regionalliga-Elf, before ending his career at the age of 40 after the 2010/11 season.

He stayed with the club and is now a goalkeeping coach.
