Uwe Rapolder (born May 29, 1958 in Hausen an der Zaber ) is a German football coach . Until 1990 he was active as a football player. Formerly Germany's greatest coaching hope, he is considered the "architect and creator of concept football".

Player stations
At the beginning of his career he played at VfR Heilbronn , KFC Winterslag and Lierse SK .
Uwe Rapolder came in 1981 to replace the Irish midfielder John Conway in Switzerland at FC Winterthur , with whom he was promoted to the highest Swiss league (National League A) in 1982 and relegated a year later. In 1984 he helped significantly with the renewed ascent. On the Schützenwiese, Rapolder, together with goalkeeper Ota Danek and Sepp Roth, was one of the audience favorites.
After his time in Eulachstadt, Uwe Rapolder moved back to Germany and first played for Tennis Borussia Berlin in the 1985/86 season and then moved for one season to SC Freiburg , where the future national coach Jogi Löw was one of his teammates. After that, he was still active at the Swiss clubs BSC Young Boys , FC Martigny-Sports and FC Monthey until he started to train .
Coaching stations
Uwe Rapolder initially took over several Swiss clubs from 1990 to 1997. He worked for FC Martigny-Sports (champions), FC Monthey (promotion to National League B) and FC St. Gallen (promotion to the NLA). From 1997 to 2001 he coached SV Waldhof Mannheim (promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga) before moving to LR Ahlen .
In March 2004 Rapolder was coach of the then second division Arminia Bielefeld . Rapolder led the Armines back into the first division . On May 11, 2005, he was released in Bielefeld after he had announced his move to 1. FC Köln for the 2005/06 season the day before . There Rapolder was on leave at the end of the first half of the season after a series of twelve games without a win, of all things after the 2-3 defeat at Arminia Bielefeld. From April 25, 2007 Rapolder was head coach at TuS Koblenz . Despite deducting points, Rapolder reached a non-relegation place three times and was given leave of absence by the board of directors on December 13, 2009 after a series of defeats. His contract in Koblenz ended on December 31, 2009. In November 2010, Rapolder was hired as a coach from Karlsruher SC and received a contract until at the end of the season. On March 1st, 2011 Rapolder was released from KSC "by mutual agreement".
In October 2014 Rapolder took over the third division club SG Sonnenhof Großaspach . Rapolders commitment became necessary because the actual trainer Rüdiger Rehm left his position in order to be able to complete the trainer course. After a disappointing start in the second half of the season, Rapolder resigned from his post on February 25, 2015 and Rehm took over the coaching position again early.

In August 2017, Rapolder caused a stir nationwide when he criticized the admission of refugees on his Facebook page : “Why this uncontrolled mass immigration? [...] Why is there zero social justice here? [...] Why is the people provoked to the brim? Do you really want war in the streets, like in France or Sweden? [...] I'm afraid for this country, where strangers clearly enjoy more rights than locals. ”Meanwhile, Rapolder has hidden the entry on his Facebook page from the public. In a comment he wrote as a reason: "Has been discussed enough."
