Rudolf "Rudi" Gutendorf (born August 30, 1926 in Koblenz ; † September 13, 2019 in Neuwied ) was a German football player and coach . He is considered to be the coach with the most international engagements and as such is also in the Guinness Book of Records . Due to his many coaching stations and his long coaching career, Gutendorf was also called Rudi Rastlos .

Career

Childhood and youth in Koblenz (1926 to 1942)

Rudi Good village was (1943, the eldest of two sons of the first Koblenz driving school teacher Heinz Good village like ) and his strict Catholic wife in Brenderweg, district of La Petite- born. The football-loving father, treasurer at VfB Lützel , passed the passion on to his sons, who started out as street footballers. As a ten-year-old Rudi Gutendorf began in the youth of VfB Lützel, at the beginning of the war in 1939 Rudi Gutendorf finally ran for the youth of TuS Neuendorf and was appointed several times in the regional selection team. The Neuendorfer Jupp Gauchel , Jakob Oden and Harry Aurednik became his great role models . Gutendorf's younger brother Werner (1929–1995) was later used as a goalkeeper for TuS Neuendorf and FC Bayern Munich in 56 league games.

Playing career at TuS Neuendorf (1942 to 1953)

In 1942, when regular players from TuS Neuendorf were called up to the front, more and more players from the second team had to move up. At the suggestion of Jupp Gauchel, the captain of the first team, the 16-year-old Rudi Gutendorf will be integrated into the training of the first team in the right wing position . According to his own statements, Gutendorf made his debut towards the end of the year, either in the decisive game for the Gaume Championship Moselland against the Luxembourg champions FK Niederkorn , which TuS Neuendorf won 2-1, or in a 5-4 win over VfR Mannheim in front of 15,000 Spectators in the home stadium Oberwerth . From then on he was allowed to regularly take part in the right wing position, which over time became his main position, initially in the Gauliga Moselland , after the Second World War in the Oberliga Südwest . The young player played his first game in the final round of the German football championship on April 16, 1944 at the age of 17 in a 5-0 away defeat against FC Schalke 04 . Even after his entry into the Wehrmacht in 1944 , Gutendorf, according to his own statements, played almost exclusively soccer, was continuously on leave and was not sent to the war front. After the end of the Second World War he was classified as unfit for work in the French prisoner-of-war camp in Rivesaltes because of underweight ; Gutendorf fell ill with dysentery in the camp , and after several weeks and a stay in a field hospital , he was finally released from captivity.

After returning to Neuendorf , which had been destroyed by the war , Gutendorf was able to start playing soccer again almost immediately, but had to cope with the death of his father, the destroyed home and the sentencing of his younger brother Werner to a four-year prison sentence. He later described it as an unbelievable stroke of luck that none of the former TuS regulars had fallen in the war or had been shot to a cripple. After the end of the war, Jupp Gauchel acted as coach of the Neuendorfer - "with the sure instinct of a strong leader he embodies the dominant figure" of the team. In the meantime, the TuS had great successes: After the team had occupied the penultimate place in the northern group within the Southwest Oberliga in the 1946/47 season , they qualified in the following season under the name "SpVgg Neuendorf" as third behind the 1 FC Kaiserslautern and 1. FC Saarbrücken for the final round of the German championship. Gutendorf described the game in the championship finals on July 18, 1948 at the Rote Erde stadium in Dortmund against the clearly favored Hamburger SV, where the champions of the British zone with recognized experts such as Walter Warning , Friedo Dörfel , Heinz Werner , Erwin as the “crowning achievement” Reinhardt , Erwin Seeler , Richard Dörfel , Edmund Adamkiewicz and Heinz Bung Bottle . With two goals from Jakob Miltz , who played on half-right in the World Cup system at the time on the side of right wing Gutendorf, Neuendorf won the preliminary round game 2-1 and was in the semi-finals of the first German post-war championship. The game against 1. FC Kaiserslautern, the champions of the French occupation zone, was clearly lost 5-1 in front of 50,000 spectators seven days later in the Wuppertal stadium at the zoo .

After the currency reform everything changed, football was commercialized . Thanks to the Neuendorfer club president Weinand, all players received Toto acceptance points, which helped them to generate high income, "enough to immediately achieve remarkable prosperity"; this financial prosperity is not good for the team. At the same time, the sporting decline of the TuS began around the aging player-coach Gauchel, who forced his selection to play a slower game and thus had to struggle with increasing acceptance problems. In early 1950 the final round of the German championship was reached again. In August 1950 Gutendorf traveled to Iceland with a selection from the Rhineland and played friendly matches there, including against the then runner-up Fram Reykjavík . Gutendorf played his 93rd and last league game for TuS Neuendorf on August 19, 1951 in a 1-1 away draw at the start of the season against Eintracht Trier . A tuberculosis disease then forced him to take a one-year break, which practically ended his active playing career. During the five league years, the right-winger contributed a total of 46 hits for the blue-blacks. Gutendorf had been active as a contract player in Neuendorf between 1943 and 1953.

First coaching jobs and engagements in Switzerland (1953 to 1961)

After the end of the war Gutendorf began to build up a second mainstay for the time after the active playing career. In the following years he trained several amateur clubs from the Koblenz region for 15 or 20 Deutsche Mark per evening and a warm meal: SV Rengsdorf (1946 to 1954), Rot-Weiß Koblenz , VfB Lützel, SV Braubach and SV Niederelbert . After his successful recovery from tuberculosis, Gutendorf took part in the football coaching course in Cologne under the direction of national coach Sepp Herberger and received the coaching diploma in 1953 (license number 330).

Before Gutendorf started looking for a job, on the advice of his doctor, he carried out a healing cure in a sanatorium for lung patients in Davos, Switzerland . At the end of 1954, according to his own statements, in response to a newspaper advertisement, he applied for the position of player- coach at the second division club FC Blue Stars Zurich , whose coach Robert Aeby had been dismissed after the National League B series . Gutendorf took on his first coaching engagement during the winter break for a salary of 1,000 Swiss francs per month and a negotiated non-relegation bonus of 5,000 francs; The team around Bruno Brizzi achieved four wins, five draws and four defeats in the second half of the season with an even goal difference (23:23) and finished tenth in the table at the end of the season.

In June 1955 Gutendorf was hired by league rivals FC Luzern as a player-coach. His monthly salary was 1,500 Swiss francs plus housing and premiums. After a third and a seventh place in the first two years, the Lucerne team finally managed to rise to the top class behind FC Zurich in 1958 . With a balanced record, the team ended up in their first year in the National League A in the league midfield and reached fifth place in the following season . In the 1959/60 Swiss Cup , the team won over FC Wädenswil (6: 1), the Young Fellows Zurich (3: 2), FC Bern (4: 1), FC Thun (6: 0) and the BSC Young Boys (3: 1) move into the final. The cup final against FC Grenchen on May 8, 1960 at the Wankdorf stadium in Bern was won by the blue-whites in front of 30,000 spectators with a goal from Rolf Blättler in the final quarter of an hour with 1-0 and thus celebrated the greatest success in the club's history. In August 1960, about two weeks before the start of the new season , good village was for alleged "misconduct moral nature" ( indecency with a minor) to have committed in custody taken. A few weeks later, the employment relationship between the coach and the club was continued, and the legal proceedings that had been opened were discontinued in early January 1961. The background was the intrigue of a player Gutendorf had thrown out of the team and his girlfriend. In spite of these quarrels, FC Luzern achieved another place in the middle of the table at the end of the season. In August 1961 Gutendorf's residence permit was not renewed, which is why he had to leave the country and the coaching engagement - it was to remain his longest employment throughout his life - ended. The player- coach Gutendorf had come to a total of 27 missions in the National League A since 1958, in which he scored six goals.

Via Tunisia to the upper division in Westphalia (1961 to 1963)

While he was still a coach in Lucerne, Gutendorf received the offer to look after the Tunisian club US Monastir , the favorite club of President Habib Bourguiba , as "a piece of living development aid" ( sports funding ) for a monthly salary of 1,000 US dollars . After a briefing by Ministerialrat Cornelius von Hovora in the Foreign Office , Gutendorf met Federal Chancellor Konrad Adenauer there by chance , who spoke to him with the often quoted sentence

"Do Se et jut, Mr. Jutendorf, otherwise they'll take you from the Soviet zone."

- Konrad Adenauer

adopted. The duration of the engagement was planned to be eight months. Little is known about Gutendorf's work as a club coach, the US Monastir finished ninth in the championship at the end of the season , tied with a relegation place. In addition, the Neuendorfer coached the junior national team of the North African country. Further details are doubtful. Due to the favorable developments in German football , Gutendorf finally turned down a contract extension.

Gutendorf began his coaching career in top German football in the last year of the old first-class league, 1962/63 , at TSV Marl-Hüls in the Oberliga West . The blue-whites from the northern Ruhr area had risen to the first class of the Oberliga West in 1959/60. Neuendorfer, who had returned from Tunisia to the Federal Republic of Germany, opened the association round with Marl-Hüls on August 18, 1962 with a 1:11 away defeat at Borussia Dortmund. Concentrating on the work at the beginning in Marl-Hüls is burdened with a completely surprising and then exhausting matter planning a competition trip for the US Monastir through the Federal Republic of Germany. At the end of the round he finished 16th with the “Blue Sparks” with 37:69 goals and 18:42 points. The team around the later Bundesliga star Heinz van Haaren had conceded the most goals, together with Viktoria Köln, who was eighth under coach Hennes Weisweiler but also scored the most goals with 81 goals. A special defense tactic to avoid a lot of goals conceded had not been seen in Marl-Hüls or Viktoria Köln this season. The team's performance in the second half of the season had improved significantly with 13:17 points and 14:22 goals compared to the disastrous first half of the season with 5:25 points and 23:47 goals, especially the two home wins with 1-0 each against Borussia Dortmund and FC Schalke 04 stood out. Several results and dates on pages 134 and 135 of the Gutendorf book With football around the world over the round with Marl-Hüls are not correct: There was no 0: 6 against RW Oberhausen, no 0: 8 against Schalke 04 and 1. FC Köln didn't clean up TSV with 8: 1, and the very young Wolfgang Overath - whose debut only took place in the following season in the Bundesliga - didn't play with them.

Meidericher SV (1963 to 1965)

Rudi Gutendorf (right) with Dieter Danzberg (2011)

For the 1963/64 season Gutendorf got the coaching position at Meidericher SV. Under coach Willi Multhaup, the “Zebras” surprisingly took third place in the Oberliga West the year before and qualified for the newly created Bundesliga. Multhaup, however, moved to Werder Bremen, where he became German champions in 1965 with the team from the Weserstadion . When finding a successor, Gutendorf, then 35 years old, met Josef Schwickert, the 2nd chairman of the MSV, in a well-known Cologne pub to negotiate a contract. Both agreed so quickly that the terms of the contract were noted on the menu of the house "Maria im Bildchen". Gutendorf took over a grown team that had one of the new heroes of the Bundesliga in their ranks, the technician and playmaker Werner Krämer . To have reached the 3rd place in the high-performance Oberliga West was an award that rose in the next few years in the Bundesliga through newcomers such as Borussia Mönchengladbach, Fortuna Düsseldorf, Rot-Weiss Essen, Alemannia Aachen, Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, Arminia Bielefeld , VfL Bochum, Wuppertaler SV, Fortuna Cologne and Bayer Uerdingen should confirm. In addition, the new goalkeeper giant Manfred Manglitz was a direct hit; but also the eight goals of the 54 world champion Helmut Rahn contributed to the good start into the Bundesliga era. With his tactical measure of filling the defensive positions with the two attacking players Hartmut Heidemann and Johann Sabath , he laid the foundation for the soon-to-be-feared "roll system" of the MSV. The attackers weren't just on the offensive, and the defenders weren't just on the defensive either. Sepp Herberger is said to have explained in an interview: “Rudi's rolling system is practiced by a player's wave that is sometimes concentrated in front, sometimes massive in the back. It's well thought out, I like it. ”The first victim was on the start day, August 24, 1963, the Karlsruher SC in the local Wildpark Stadium in front of an expectant 40,000 spectators. At halftime, the Gutendorf team was already leading 3: 1 and was in no way endangered by the 4: 1 success.

Due to the defensive tactics with which he reached the runner- up with Meidericher SV in the first Bundesliga season in history, he earned the nickname "Riegel-Rudi". Meiderich had the best defense with 36 goals conceded. To what extent “his defensive line” Dieter Danzberg played a part in this on the pitch is not clear from the time distance in his seven rounds. Danzberg had played a decisive role in the sporting success in the last year of the league with 28 rounds and six important goals, but in the Bundesliga he was no longer part of the regular line-up. The 1963/64 season - which goes down in the club's history as the best Bundesliga season of the club - was rounded off by a trip to North America by the Gutendorf troop, which was made possible through his personal mediation. The absolute highlight were three games against top English club Liverpool, two of which could be won.

As early as February 5, 1965, it was announced that Gutendorf and MSV would split up at the end of the season and Hermann Eppenhoff was named as his successor. After a 1-1 draw at home against Borussia Neunkirchen on February 20, there was a violent battle of words between Gutendorf and the acting chairman Tiefenbach, which almost degenerated into violence. The 37-year-old Gutendorf was immediately given leave of absence and shortly afterwards released without notice. Assistant coach and MSV veteran Willi "Ömmes" Schmidt took over the training management until the end of the season, when the MSV remained in seventh place in the table. The main reason for disputes with Rudi Gutendorf was his defensive game system, which was similar to today's 4-4-2 , although many German teams copied it.

VfB Stuttgart (1965 to 1966)

The break was short-lived: Gutendorf took over VfB Stuttgart on March 8, where Kurt Baluses had already been replaced by Franz Seybold on an interim basis on February 24 . The delay was due to the MSV game on March 6th in the Neckar Stadium . With the then table tenth from the Swabian country Gutendorf started on March 20 with a 0-1 away defeat at Werder Bremen in the mission relegation. With home wins against TSV 1860 Munich (3: 0) and 1. FC Kaiserslautern (1: 0) and the 3: 2 away win at Eintracht Frankfurt on April 30, the contract was successful and VfB landed in 12th place. After the 3-0 win against Max Merkel's “Lions” , optimism arose in Stuttgart. When Green is being held ". Where the team under Baluses still deeply insecure, frightening harmless acted almost listless and especially in attack, they are now fighting with indomitable fighting spirit and feared counter-attack for every ball" Before the start of the 1965/66 season promised Gutendorf Great at VfB: At his instigation, the Yugoslavian Vladica Popović had the first international flair at Neckarstadion, where VfB was rarely able to convince. Popovic, who was kicked off from Red Star Belgrade , was quickly written off as a “bad purchase”, while Peter Aust, who had come from Vienna, did not make a single assignment. The third Bundesliga season of Cannstatt ended in an inconspicuous eleventh place, although VfB had put the third worst team in the league, which had increased to 18 participants, in the second half of the season.

Despite dazzling newcomers such as Gilbert Gress (Strasbourg) and Bo Larsson (Malmö), VfB under coach Gutendorf scooped a meager five points in the first half of 1966/67 from the 4th to the 16th match day and found themselves in the relegation zone. The fact that Gutendorf was negotiating a move with the United States Football Association at the same time annoyed the VfB management, so his expulsion on December 6, 1966 came as little surprise. VfB Stuttgart finished 17th after their 4-1 away defeat on December 3, 1966 at Karlsruher SC with 11:19 points. Gutendorf's statement, "When I said goodbye to Stuttgart at the end of 1966 with a crying and a laughing eye, VfB was definitely in the middle", is incomprehensible from the table.

FC Schalke 04 (1968 to 1970)

After two years in the USA with the St. Louis Stars in the North American Soccer League , which was to attract global attention well into the 1980s, Gutendorf received an offer from the Bundesliga in November 1968: FC Schalke 04 was 10 : 20 points in 17th place and the new president Günter Siebert dismissed the ex-Schalke Günter Brocker and brought Gutendorf to Schalke. With the two newcomers Heinz van Haaren and Herbert Lütkebohmert , as well as the returnee Reinhard Libuda , the poor performance in the first half of the season under Brocker was no longer acceptable. The eloquent man from Neuendorf, endowed with international status, dynamism and ambition, did a great job in Schalke: He scored 25:13 points from the remaining games in the Bundesliga, ended the season in 7th place and also had led the team around the corset rods Norbert Nigbur , Klaus Fichtel , van Haaren, Gerhard Neuser , Libuda and Hans-Jürgen Wittkamp into the DFB Cup final . Gutendorf was a man of a different stature, introduced professional training and a modern game system. In addition, he gives the team new self-confidence. Norbert Nigbur explains: “The man brought color to the club. Even then Gutendorf had seen a lot of the world, was successful abroad, he had a certain flair. That was good for Schalke, because as long as I was there until then, everything related to the Schalke market was mentally happening ... Gutendorf brought a new way of thinking. ... It was no longer about the question of whether and how we can grab the saving 16th place, but about how we get into the upper third of the table. Communicating something like that is always a question of credibility for a professional team. To what extent can you take the man seriously? Gutendorf was trusted to have the guts to do it. All of this carried the players away. It also had to do with the fact that Gutendorf was a perfect show man. In this sense, he was the predecessor of Udo Lattek. ”FC Bayern Munich won the cup final 2-1 with two goals from record scorer Gerd Müller ; so the team of coach Branko Zebec achieved the double success .

The season 1969/70 started well with 13: 5 points from nine games; so Schalke belonged to the top of the table. In the second half of the season things didn't go according to plan, the final result with 34:34 points was only enough for 9th place. In the away games, the Gutendorf team only scored 12:22. In addition to the Bundesliga round, Schalke also competed in the European Cup Winners' Cup . Via Shamrock Rovers, IFK Norrköping and with two successes against Dinamo Zagreb (3-1, 1-0) Schalke reached the semi-finals against Manchester City. The first leg in Schalke was won 1-0 with a Libuda goal, but Gutendorf's team went down 5-1 on Maine Road in the second leg against the eventual cup winners . During the round there had been several arguments between President Siebert and coach Gutendorf.

For the 1970/71 round, Klaus Fischer, a scorer, came to Schalke and Siebert took the opportunity after the fourth match day - a 0-1 home defeat against Hertha BSC on September 5, 1970 - and released Gutendorf from his contract. Schalke had scored 4-4 points from the first four matchdays. According to Gutendorf, there was a problem between him and the Schalke president: “I say hü, he shouts hott. We win, he won. If we lose, then I've lost. Cunningly encrypted, he lets the media know. "

Kickers Offenbach (1970 to 1971)

The Bundesliga break lasted only briefly: From September 28, 1970 Gutendorf took over the reigning DFB Cup winner Kickers Offenbach. But again he became dependent on an almost autocratic leading club president: Horst-Gregorio Canellas was the “doer” of the team at Bieberer Berg , there was no serious counterweight to his decisions. The last example of his “omnipotence” was the line-up of coaches before the Bundesliga return in the summer of 1970. Promotion coach Zlatko Čajkovski was dismissed and replaced by Aki Schmidt from Jahn Regensburg, as the successful interim coach Kurt Schreiner was no longer available. But already after the eighth round match day, on September 26th after a 3: 3 home draw against VfB Stuttgart, the clock for the former World Cup participant in 1958 in Sweden was up. Canellas brought Gutendorf, who had been shot in Schalke, to Offenbach in a flash. The first competitive game was tough: Offenbach had to contest the second leg in the European Cup Winners' Cup on October 1, 1970 at Club Bruges, the cushion was not lush after the 2-1 home win from the first leg. The Belgians prevailed 2-0 and the European Cup adventure for Offenbach was over after the first round and the first game in the Bundesliga two days later also brought a disillusioning 0-4 away defeat at 1. FC Kaiserslautern two days later conditions. The start of Gutendorf in Offenbach was not successful. When this competition had ended prematurely with the cup defender on December 12, 1970 in the first main round at the southern regional league club VfR Heilbronn with a 2-0 defeat, it was only a matter of time when Canellas would act again. After the 3-0 defeat at Eintracht Braunschweig on February 13, 1971, Offenbach was in 16th place with 15:27 points, the time for Gutendorf in Offenbach was up. The contract was terminated on February 23 and Kuno Klötzer took over the Hessians for the rest of the round.

Sporting Cristal (Peru) and National Team of Chile (1971 to 1973)

Sporting Cristal

Rudi Gutendorf was appointed at the end of May 1971 by the Peruvian champion Sporting Cristal from the capital Lima as the successor to the Argentine Vito Andrés "Sabino" Bártoli , who fell out of favor after leaving the group as bottom of the first round of the Copa Libertadores . A monthly salary of DM 8,000 was reported.

Gutendorf began his tenure with five wins in a row. After the first half of the season there were 10 wins in 15 games and Sporting Cristal was at the top of the table. In August, the club reportedly made him an offer to extend his contract for two years and double his salary, but Gutendorf was reluctant to refer to attractive offers from Mexico and Argentina. The second half of the championship showed a completely different picture and only three wins in 15 games could be achieved, with the team ending the season eight points behind the new champions Universitario de Deportes in fourth place. That also ended thoughts of extending the contract.

His tenure was largely overshadowed by the resistance of numerous players to his harsh training regime. Under his successor, the Peruvian Marcos Calderón , Sporting Cristal won the 1972 championship. Gutendorf is the only coach of the club to date who does not come from South America. His lasting legacy at Sporting Cristal consisted of a few boards nailed together, which were used to simulate a wall during free-kick exercises and which were to survive for decades on the La Florida training ground.

National team of Chile

After weak games in preparation for the Taça Independência , which took place in Brazil in June and July 1972 - a tournament with 18 national teams and two continental representations on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Brazil's independence - Chile's coach Raúl Pino had to step back and became Rudi Gutendorf, who was signed up in February 1972 provided as an assistant.

Gutendorf lost his debut at the Estadio Nacional against Argentina in the first leg of the Copa Carlos Dittborn 3: 4. At the tournament in Brazil they won against Ecuador, Ireland and Iran, but a 1: 4 against Portugal with world star Eusébio meant the elimination. Chile's star in that era, Carlos Caszely , scored in every game. The games of Chile in this tournament were generally rated as pleasing.

In August there was a 2-0 defeat in Mexico with heavily modified line-ups and a 3-0 defeat against Argentina in the second leg of the Copa Carlos Dittborn in September. At the beginning of 1973 there were mixed results in four test matches against the Argentine club teams Ferro Carril Oeste and Racing Club and a 10-1 win against Tahiti that can hardly be overestimated.

Gutendorf's contract was canceled in March 1973. The association gave factual and personal reasons. On the one hand, the qualification for the 1974 World Cup in Germany was seen as endangered - this was achieved under Gutendorf's successor Luis Álamos - and on the other hand his defensive style of play was criticized. Displeasure also aroused his personal behavior as well as that of his wife Ute, from whom he divorced for the first time during his time in Chile, which was seen as incompatible with the traditions of a Catholic country.

TSV 1860 Munich (1973 to 1974)

After his stay in South America, he took over the TSV 1860 Munich as the successor to Elek Schwartz in the last year of the Regionalliga Süd . Legend has it that Gutendorf read about the coaching worries of the sixties at breakfast in the luxury hotel Bayerischer Hof and then spontaneously offered his services. For the “lions” there was only one goal: advancement. The sixties started the season in August 1973 with a 4-0 away win at Jahn Regensburg. The promoted FC Augsburg came to the sold-out Olympic Stadium for their first home game on Wednesday, August 15 . The young Augsburg team was reinforced by Helmut Haller , who returned from Italy and runner-up in 1966 , and was on a wave of euphoria. In view of the huge audience interest that this game triggered in Munich and Augsburg, even the Olympic Stadium turned out to be too small. The arena was filled to bursting with around 80,000 people at a unit price of 10 marks. When the lions took the lead in the third minute, there was enormous cheering and those who were still waiting at the gates pushed all the more into the stadium, with numerous injuries. After all, there were between 90,000 and 100,000 fans in the stadium - a figure never reached again. The game ended 1-1.

The team around midfield conductor Hans-Joachim Weller and Ferdinand Keller , who became a national player in 1860 as a second division player and scored 22 goals in this season, was joined by ex-Bayern Munich 96 , Charly Mrosko , Hans-Josef Hellingrath , also from Hanover and the Yugoslavs Fahrija Dautbegović , a very useful two-time national goalkeeper , and Marijan Novak , a tough defender who should make a name for himself as "Mr yellow cardboard", strengthened. In the course of the first half of the season, Alfred Kohlhäufl , Wolfgang Gayer and Bernd Patzke made further significant additional commitments.

There was a lack of harmony in the club and in the team. Novak temporarily disappeared without a trace. So it was only enough for 3rd place, so that the entry into the Bundesliga promotion round was missed. The two games that were lost 0: 1 against FC Schweinfurt 05 and ended the season in 15th place alone made a decisive difference. In addition to the square, there were also quarrels about Gutendorf, including a paternity lawsuit from Chile. Gutendorf was also able to attend the traditional Christmas party of the 1960s because, as he said, he was after a woman. He was replaced in the following season by the master coach from 1966 Max Merkel . Augsburg became champions of the Regionalliga Süd ahead of 1. FC Nürnberg .

SC Fortuna Cologne (1975)

Rudi Gutendorf's next coaching position in Germany was in the 1975/76 season through President Jean Löring in the 2nd Bundesliga at SC Fortuna Cologne. In the second year of the 2nd Bundesliga, he succeeded Martin Luppen in Cologne's Südstadt district . From the first four games he collected 7-1 points with Fortuna, but then things went downhill. After the eleventh match day, a 1-1 home draw on October 25, 1975 against Alemannia Aachen, Loering already transferred Heinz Hornig the head coaching position at his club, Gutendorf had already failed after four months. In 14th place with 10-12 points, was with players like Wolfgang Fahrian , Noel Campbell , Rolf Dohmen , Wolfgang Glock , Roland Hattenberger , Otmar Ludwig , Karl-Heinz Mödrath , Friedhelm Otters , Hannes Linßen , Julio Baylón , Karl -Heinz Struth and Lothar Wesseler the belief in the coach with President Loering no longer exists because he absolutely wanted to return to the Bundesliga.

Tennis Borussia Berlin (1976 to 1977)

Since promotion coach Helmuth Johannsen had surprisingly resigned from the 2nd league champion of the 1975/76 season, Tennis Borussia, and moved to Switzerland to Zurich, and for the difficult task of keeping the league in the Bundesliga with the "Violets" not exactly a wave When coach aspirants broke into TeBe, Gutendorf was even able to work on his bad reputation in the first division after the disaster at Fortuna Cologne; he was for the season 1976/77 Bundesliga coach at Tennis Borussia. In his biography from 1987, the new TeBe trainer states: “In Cafe Kranzler I drink an Underberg to combat my heartburn. It has been hard to get rid of since my new club had to sell its two best players ( Norbert Stolzenburg , Norbert Siegmann ). Had I known yesterday, I would not have signed the contract. I give three more autographs to football fans, who congratulate me somewhat pityingly on my courage to have taken over the church mouse club Tennis Borussia. ”Striker Stolzenburg and defensive specialist Siegmann were certainly heavy losses, but the access of the Swedish attacker Benny Wendt scored in the course of the round he 20 goals, was a lucky hit and a clear improvement in quality compared to the promotion year. The additions of Lothar Schneider and Ernst Savkovic also improved the squad. The fact that Volkmar Groß , Hans-Jürgen Baake , Dieter Hochheimer and Winfried Stradt were significantly improved in the course of the round is a fact and must be taken into account when evaluating the available players. If you add the two top performers from the previous promotion team with Ditmar Jakobs and Winfried Berkemeier , the picture of a team that is clearly overburdened is by no means the result. If you add everything up, the quality was there, not in abundance and on the bench, but sufficient for a competitive team. In addition, taking over a team from the recognized specialist Helmuth Johannsen, that clearly meant taking over a foundation in those years on which one could build or continue. A real loss meant the tragic illness of the lively winger Albert Bittlmayer , who could no longer play and died on June 2, 1977.

The 10:24 points after the end of the first half of the season with 25:55 goals were simply bad, especially for a coach who, at least according to his own statement, was a master of the well-thought-out defensive game, see the much-cited "roll system" with Meiderich in the 1963 season / 64. The surprising successes against 1. FC Köln (3: 2), FC Bayern Munich (3: 1) and the win in the local derby on April 16, 1977 with 2: 0 against Hertha BSC didn't change anything. With 22:46 points and 47:85 goals, Tennis Borussia was relegated from the Bundesliga after the 34th matchday in May 1977. In his biography With Football Around the World , Gutendorf describes his work with TeBe in a different way from a subjective point of view: "I got the hang of advertising wherever I could, I had my gold-colored sports convertible auctioned to mobilize money for player purchases, and I spent a lot of time with the journalists. All of this impressed the Berliners. Tennis Borussia, previously a club without spectators, was suddenly in. Especially since there were some sporting successes. Through hard training and demonstrative confidence, I had motivated the overwhelmed team to soar to new heights. We beat table leaders 1. FC Köln 3: 2, Bayern and Beckenbauer 3: 1, the powerful local rivals Hertha 2: 0. We got a draw against the strong HSV. "

Hamburger SV (1977)

HSV general manager Peter Krohn had apparently taken a liking to Gutendorf's performances next to the pitch and brought him to Hamburger SV as successor to Kuno Klötzer for the 1977/78 season. HSV had finished 6th in the previous round and won the European Cup Winners' Cup on May 11, 1977 in Rotterdam with a 2-0 win against RSC Anderlecht . Since Krohn also massively strengthened the good squad with Yugoslavia's "Footballer of the Year", Ivan Buljan and world star Kevin Keegan from Liverpool FC, the Bundesliga championship and the European Cup had to be defended. The fact that a second representative, FC St. Pauli, was supposed to represent Hamburg in the Bundesliga was almost completely lost in the media landscape. What seemed much more important was what manager Krohn and coach Gutendorf, who were considered to be "one heart and one soul", worked out as "total football" on the sandy beach of Sylt. Krohn: "We are the absolute dream couple."

The opening game in the Bundesliga was surprisingly lost 5-2 at MSV Duisburg on August 6, due to the following successes against 1860 Munich (3-0), Eintracht Frankfurt (2-0), 1. FC Kaiserslautern (3: 1) and the 2-1 win at VfB Stuttgart on August 31, the basic trend seemed to be right. The first Hamburg derby for points after 14 years came at just the right time on the sixth matchday. However, the promoted team won 2-0 on September 3, completely surprisingly and unexpectedly, and the first differences between Krohn and Gutendorf became known. In the team were the "long-established" and Felix Magath, who came in 1976, against the new coach. In addition, the newcomers Keegan and Buljan were unwelcome to the European Cup winners. After the defeat against Eintracht Braunschweig (0: 4), in the European Cup against RSC Anderlecht (1: 2) and the 1: 2 home defeat on October 22, 1977 against 1. FC Saarbrücken, the time for Gutendorf was already at Hamburger SV expired. The contract of General Manager Dr. At his request, Krohn was prematurely released on November 1, 1977 and coach Gutendorf was on leave on October 27, and the previous assistant coach Arkoc Özcan was appointed as the coach's successor.

Hertha BSC (1985 to 1986)

In the 1985/86 round, 59-year-old Rudi Gutendorf reappeared as a coach in German professional football: From January 8, 1986, he took over Hertha BSC, which was fighting relegation, in the 2nd Bundesliga . Under Uwe Kliemann Hertha went into the round, from December 4, 1985 to January 7, 1986, the one-time national player from 1975 was replaced by Hans Eder , before "globetrotters" Gutendorf tried to get Hertha to relegate to the amateur camp save. In the second division, three Berlin clubs played in this round: Hertha and Tennis Borussia fought for relegation and Blau-Weiß 90 for promotion. The routine coach looked after his new team for the first time on January 25, 1986 in the away game against Rot-Weiß Oberhausen in the 2nd Bundesliga. The game was lost 2-1. There followed three draw games with 1: 1 each - including on February 9 against the eventual champions FC Homburg 08 - as well as two defeats against Fortuna Köln and Hessen Kassel, before the game against promotion candidate Blau-Weiß 90 took place on March 15. In front of 15,000 spectators, Hertha defied the blue-whites 2-2. On April 8, the catch-up game against Tennis Borussia was 4-0, but this was followed by two defeats against Darmstadt 98 (2: 3) and MSV Duisburg (0: 1) and after 34 games, Hertha stood with 26:42 points in 18th place. Gutendorf had a point yield of 9:17 from 13 games. Hertha BSC replaced Gutendorf with Jürgen Sundermann on April 21 .

Mauritius and Zimbabwe (1993 to 1998)

As the successor to Frenchman François Blaquart , Gutendorf was hired as national coach of Mauritius in 1993 , and Mukesh Ramrekha became the Koblenzer's assistant . The national team of the island state had already been trained by the German Helmut Kosmehl a few years earlier . Between April and July 1993, the team scored only one point in four games of the Africa Cup qualifying in a goalless draw against South Africa . In August, the national team took part in the Indian Ocean Island Games in the Seychelles ; After surviving the preliminary round with a victory over the Comoros (3-0) and a defeat against eventual tournament winners Madagascar (1: 2), the team was defeated in the semi-finals of the Réunions (0: 1), but was able to win with a final 6-2 win over the hosts secure third place. In addition to his nine-month activity as national coach, the Koblenz native also looked after the Sunrise Flacq United club . According to his own information, Gutendorf was the Mauritian national coach for the second time in 1997.

Rudi Gutendorf took over as coach of the Zimbabwean national team in mid-March 1994 after the previous national coach Reinhard Fabisch had been banned from FIFA for a year for grossly unsporting behavior. This had thrown the Gambian referee Alhagi Faye with a bundle of money during the international match against Cameroon in October of the previous year, accusing him of bribery . Gutendorf's goal was the successful qualification for the African Championship, in which the team around goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar from Liverpool FC with wins over Lesotho (5: 0) and Zaire (2: 1) as well as a defeat against Malawi (1: 1). 3) started. At the beginning of 1995 Fabisch was appointed technical advisor to the national team. On January 22, the "Warriors" defeated in the domestic National Sports Stadium was the surprise World Cup finalists Cameroon by a hat-trick Vitalis Takawira and a goal from Paul Gundani with 4: 1, this victory should be another win over Lesotho (2: 0) consequences. Due to disagreements with the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) Gutendorf was replaced in the 1-1 draw against Malawi on April 23 by his original assistant Gibson Homela , to whom the association had given full control. After two more defeats under Homela and the Swiss Marc Duvillard and the withdrawal of Lesotho, the qualification for the continental tournament in 1996 failed.

At the annual general meeting of TuS Koblenz on October 31, 1996 Gutendorf was defeated by the incumbent Herbert Heidger with 58:83 votes in a battle vote for the post of club president. At the beginning of January 1997 he took over the position of sporting director of the TuS after quarrels in the club management . After further differences within the board about the distribution of tasks and competencies of the sports director Gutendorf withdrew from his post after five months. In August 1998 the honorary member of the association announced the end of his commitment to the blue-blacks, but supported the TuS four years later in averting insolvency proceedings.

Back home via Rwanda and Samoa (1999 to 2016)

On January 23, 1999 Gutendorf trained and supervised the "Lotto-Elf" he had put together for the first time in Hachenburg , a benefit team from Lotto Rhineland-Palatinate - the idea to found such a team came from a meeting of the Kaiserslautern World Champions in 1954 with some Hungarian final opponents who were still living a year earlier emerged - consisting of celebrities and former soccer players such as Horst Eckel , Wolfgang Kleff , Stefan Kuntz and Wolfgang Overath . In August 1999, Bernard Makuza , then ambassador of the Rhineland-Palatinate partner country Rwanda , was present at a charity match for the team; As a result of this contact Gutendorf was asked to coach the Rwandan national team at a six-week training camp in Bitburg that began in October . During this stay, during which eight national players fled to Belgium and sought political asylum there , the German actually looked after the "Amavubi" who, among other things, played a test match against the second division club 1. FSV Mainz 05 (0: 3). In the country that had been divided by the genocide six years earlier, Gutendorf, equipped with a four-month contract, prepared the national team around Désiré Mbonabucya for the first round of qualifying for the 2002 World Cup . In the first leg, the team reached the world number 148. On April 9, 2000, thanks to goals from Hassan Mili and Julien Nsengiyumva , a surprising 2-2 draw against Ivory Coast , number 47 in the world, at the home of Stade Amahoro . In the second leg two weeks later they lost to the Ivorian "elephants" around Didier Zokora and Ibrahima Bakayoko with 0-2, which means that Rwanda missed the World Cup qualification. For the East and Central African Championship, which took place in Uganda in November 2000 , the German returned as national coach and led the team after games against Uganda B (2: 3), Kenya (2: 1), Eritrea (1: 1), Uganda A (1: 3) and Ethiopia (1: 1 a.d., 2: 4 p.e.) for fourth place. Gutendorf then resigned from his post, and Longin Rudasingwa was his successor .

Gutendorf received an offer as early as mid-2001 to work as a trainer on the South Sea island of Samoa . In February and March 2003 he stayed there for about a month, after a coaching course Gutendorf was supposed to attend the originally eight-week stay of the Samoan U-23 national team with a view to qualifying for the Olympic (ten months later under David Brand ) Accept soccer tournament . The Football Federation Samoa (FFS) covered the costs for accommodation and meals , while the flights were paid for by the German Football Association .

On August 3, 2003, the 76-year-old substituted himself for the only time in an 11: 4 victory for the “Lotto-Elf” over an old men’s team in Cochem and missed a penalty. By July 2013 Gutendorf was on the sidelines as a coach in a total of 132 games for the team. In August 2012 Gutendorf offered himself as a coach and sports director of his former club MSV Duisburg after the latter started the second division season with two defeats; however, the offer was rejected. In October 2016 Gutendorf became the "honorary coach" of TuS Koblenz International , the newly founded, third team of TuS Koblenz consisting exclusively of refugees; the media dubbed this his 56th coaching station.

Personal

During his coaching time at VfB Stuttgart Gutendorf got to know the photo model Ute Pelzer, a manufacturer's daughter, through his friend Erwin Lehn . At the urging of American women's organizations, the couple married in August 1967 in St. Louis Cathedral Basilica . At the time when the German was the Chilean national coach, the couple separated and divorced. During his tenure as national coach of the "Socceroos" Gutendorf and Pelzer married a second time; this marriage did not last long, however. In Australia, the German also met his second wife, Marika, who was born in Sydney and 36 years his junior; the couple have a son who was born at the end of 1989.
