Robert Jung (born December 19, 1944 in Kaiserslautern ) is a German football coach and former player. Most recently, Jung coached FC 08 Homburg as an interim coach at the end of the 2013/14 season. In addition, he taught mathematics and sports at the Leibniz Gymnasium Pirmasens until the 2008/09 school year .

Career

player

Jung's active career began in 1963 with the regional league team VfR Kaiserslautern , where the defender became a regular in his second year, but was relegated with VfR after 46 games and two goals in 1965. A year later, Jung moved to FK Pirmasens. In the first year he was only used once, from 1967 he was also a regular here, soon also team captain. By 1976, Jung played 250 times for FKP and scored eight goals. In 1970 and 1971 he was runner-up in the Regionalliga, but failed each in the promotion round to the Bundesliga. After two seasons in the 2nd Bundesliga , founded in 1974 , Jung moved to the amateur league team FK Clausen in 1976 , where he was player-coach until 1978.

Trainer

In 1978, Jung came back to FKP, who had just been relegated from the second division, this time as a coach. For seven years, Jungs Pirmasensers each occupied a place in the top third of the table. In 1985, the coach moved to the upper league competitor FSV Salmrohr , with whom he was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga in 1986. In March 1987, Jung was released from his position at the FSV with no chance.

Two months later, Jung rose again to the second division with the Offenbacher Kickers , who had separated from their coach Franz Brungs before the promotion round began . But since he had already signed a contract with SC Birkenfeld , he could no longer look after the OFC. Jung stayed in Birkenfeld until he was signed in February 1989 by the relegation-threatened second division club 1. FSV Mainz 05 . There he could not prevent relegation, but returned to the professional league in the 1989/90 season with a "hussar ride" (young): The 05ers only suffered their only defeat of the season on the last match day. The championship had long been decided.

Jung, a full-time senior teacher in Pirmasens, almost had to leave his newcomer because the Rhineland-Palatinate Minister of Education, Georg Gölter, initially refused to approve the time-consuming and highly paid part-time job. The approval for young came shortly before the start of the season.

During the winter break of the 1991/92 season, Jung announced his departure from Mainz at the end of the season. However , he only stayed with his new club Rot-Weiss Frankfurt for half a year. Jung's involvement with SV Wehen from January 1993 to October 1994 was n't much happier .

Since 1996 Robert Jung has been continuously active as a coach in Southwest amateur football . Until 1998 he coached the FK Pirmasens for the second time, with whom he rose in 1997 from the Association League to the Oberliga. From 1998 to 2001 Jung was the coach of the upper division Wormatia Worms , then employed for four years at the upper division SC Hauenstein (2002/03 season runner-up in the Oberliga Südwest with SC Hauenstein). In 2005 Robert Jung moved back to Pirmasens, where he was promoted to the Regionalliga in 2006 and won the SWFV Cup in the final against 1. FSV Mainz 05 II . Mainz had previously won the association cup five times in a row, in 2005 and 2004 against Jungs Hauensteiner. In the following DFB Cup, the FKP reached the second round with a win on penalties against Werder Bremen . In November 2006, Jung was released from the FKP.

In the 2008/09 season he won the unbeaten championship in the Pirmasens district class with SV Erlenbrunn. For the 2009/10 season, Jung was a coach at FSV Salmrohr and reached third place in the Rhineland League with the team in his first year . In the following 2010/11 season, the club won the championship and rose to the Oberliga Südwest. In the 2011/12 season , Jung reached sixth place in the table as a promoted team with the FSV Salmrohr team. On the last day of the season, the FSV terminated the contract with Jung and replaced him with Patrick Klyk. In September 2012, Jung was signed by the south-west upper division club SV Mehring . After six months, on March 13, 2013, Jung resigned and Dino Toppmöller took over for him .

From July 2013, Jung led the morning training at the regional league promoted SVN Zweibrücken and worked as a scout for coach Peter Rubbeck. In April 2014 he became an interim coach at league rivals FC Homburg .

Style of play

Jung's preferred style of play, usually a 3-4-3 system, is often referred to superficially as a wall tactic. His teams are very deep in the field, but they press very aggressively and switch to counterattacks after winning the ball. This handwriting of the shrewd tactician was so far clearly visible in all of his clubs.
