Thomas Hörster (born November 27, 1956 in Essen ) is a former German soccer player and coach .
Athletic career
Club career
Hörster began playing football at Blau-Weiß Holsterhausen , a district club in Essen, and switched to Schwarz-Weiß Essen in his youth . As an 18-year-old, he came there on January 18, 1975 for his first league appearance for the men's team in the two-pronged 2nd Bundesliga , which had just been founded a few months earlier , when he played for his in the 78th minute in the 1: 4 defeat at VfL Wolfsburg only about a year older teammate Hans-Gerd Florian was substituted on. At that time, black and white food was on a relegation point. Hörster made another nine league appearances by the end of the season, was in the starting line-up several times and ultimately contributed to staying up. In the two following seasons, Hörster established himself in the team and achieved solid midfield placements in the league with his club. In 1977 he switched to league competitor Bayer 04 Leverkusen , with whom he was promoted to the Bundesliga in 1979 . Between 1979 and 1991 he played 332 times for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, scoring 16 goals.
Selection missions and international successes
In the fall of 1986, team boss Franz Beckenbauer nominated the midfielder, who had been converted into a defensive player, to the national team . He played four games for the DFB-A selection, the last time in March 1987.
Hörster's greatest sporting successes were winning the bronze medal at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul and winning the UEFA Cup in the same year. However, he was not used in the two finals against Español Barcelona .
Coaching career
After he had ended his active career in 1991, Hörster became a youth coach at Bayer Leverkusen the following year and in 2001 took over the amateur team that played in the regional league. "I want to bring talents to the professional team and give them good training along the way," he said at the time.
On February 16, 2003, Hörster replaced the unsuccessful Klaus Toppmöller as coach of the Bundesliga team. Until his premature replacement on May 13th, he incorporated talents like Sebastian Schoof and Jan-Ingwer Callsen-Bracker into the team. He was finally released from his position because he no longer saw any chance of relegation. However, his successor Klaus Augenthaler succeeded in doing so with two wins in the last two games. Hörster switched back to the youth department and took over responsibility for the U19s. With this team he won the German A-Junior Championship in 2007 .
Further career
After winning the national U-19 title, Thomas Hörster took on a job in the club's scouting department, to which he had been a member for 30 years with a few interruptions.
Trivia
For winning the bronze medal at the 1988 Olympic Games, he received - together with the German national Olympic soccer team - the silver laurel leaf .
