Career

player

In 1974, Saftig won the Rhineland Cup as captain with TuS Mayen against Eintracht Trier . In the 1976/77 season he was as a player in Nentershausen in Westerwaldkreis based Sportfreunde Eisbachtal in the third-rate Rhine Land League active. He completed his subsequent trainer training as the best in his year with a grade of 1.

Trainer

His first coaching position was FC Bayern Munich , where he accompanied almost 200 FC Bayern Munich matches as assistant coach to Pál Csernai and later Udo Lattek from 1979 to 1984. After Csernai's dismissal, he carried the main responsibility for the team from May 17 to June 30, 1983 for the last three Bundesliga games (32nd to 34th matchday).

In the summer of 1984 he moved to Borussia Dortmund, where he was again assistant coach, initially to Timo Konietzka , then to Erich Ribbeck and Pál Csernai and, in October 1984, interim coach for a game. In the second half of the 1985/86 season he was head coach from April 20, 1986 to June 26, 1988 and secured relegation in three relegation games against SC Fortuna Köln . In the following season , he moved with the team in the UEFA Cup competition, in which he advanced with her to the third round . Before the 1988/89 season , he left the club during the training camp after disputes over the team captain .

In 1993, Saftig led Bayer 04 Leverkusen into the German Cup final at the Berlin Olympic Stadium . After he was released early, his successor Dragoslav Stepanović looked after the club when they won the Cup against the amateurs from Hertha BSC . From January 22 to June 30, 1994 he worked for the Turkish first division club Kocaelispor and on July 1, 1994 moved to the league competitor Galatasaray Istanbul , for which he worked until June 30, 1995. After a brief job as a coach at 1. FSV Mainz 05 in 1997, Saftig worked for a long time as a chief scout for Borussia Dortmund.

Sports manager

On June 22, 2005 he became sports director at Arminia Bielefeld . After a series of losses in the 2007/08 season , for which Saftig was made responsible due to his transfer policy, the club separated from him on February 26, 2008. Following this separation, there was a legal dispute over unresolved issues relating to a contract extension with Saftig. In November 2007, the club's management publicly announced that it would extend the contract with the sports director until 2010. When the contract with Saftig was terminated in February 2008, Arminia's President Hans-Hermann Schwick announced that the manager had never signed the new contract, so the club had no financial obligations towards Saftig beyond 2008. Saftig took legal action against this interpretation of his former employer, which resulted in a settlement on December 16, 2008. The club paid Saftig a severance payment of 370,000 euros.
