As a coach, he led TSV 1860 Munich from the third division championship to qualifying for the Champions League in the 1990s . With 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 and Viktoria Aschaffenburg he won two more championships in the third division, in those years still the highest amateur class. In other engagements, which led him to Turkey and East Asia, among others, he was not successful with the exception of a Cypriot runner-up.

Both as a player and as a coach, he was characterized by a rough manner and had to face sports jurisdiction several times in both functions.

Career as a player

Werner Lorant began playing football in his hometown at the age of ten at the amateur club SV Welver , with whom he rose in 1968 from the district class season 9 to the state league season 5. He later joined the then second division side Westfalia Herne .

Borussia Dortmund, Essen and Saarbrücken

In the 1971/72 season - Lorant had come to Dortmund from SV Welver in 1971 as a regional cup player from Westphalia to Dortmund - the midfielder made 23 Bundesliga appearances for Borussia Dortmund and was part of the team that lost 1:11 at Bayern Munich . At the end of the season, the club was relegated 17th. Lorant stayed with Dortmund, but after the direct resurgence was unsuccessful, for the 1973/74 season to the promoted Rot-Weiss Essen . While he was a player in Essen, he also trained SC Westtünnen in Hamm . It was here that he discovered Horst Hrubesch in 1975 , whom he recommended to Rot-Weiss Essen. At Essen he was also often used as a defender and until his relegation in 1977 played alongside the club legend Willi "Ente" Lippens , the later international strikers Manfred Burgsmüller and Horst Hrubesch and midfield director Günter "Nobby" Fürhoff . In 116 Bundesliga games for Essen, he scored 16 goals. He is one of only seven players in Essen with more than 100 Bundesliga appearances.

After relegation with the club, he moved to the Bundesliga promoted last year, 1. FC Saarbrücken , with whom he had to accept a descent for the third time in his career. Then he moved to Eintracht Frankfurt .

Eintracht Frankfurt

The Frankfurters, with the 1974 world champions Jürgen Grabowski and Bernd Hölzenbein as well as players such as Norbert Nachtweih , Bernd Nickel and the Austrian Bruno Pezzey , were always among the favorites for the championship title in those years. However, it was only possible to qualify for the UEFA Cup in 1979 and 1980 . Winning the cup under coach Friedel Rausch in the finals of 1980 against Borussia Mönchengladbach was Lorant's career highlight. Korean striker Cha Bum-kun was Eintracht's discovery of the year. In the following season under coach Lothar Buchmann a 3-1 win in the DFB Cup final against 1. FC Kaiserslautern .

Schalke 04

Between the 15th and 16th match day of the 1982/83 season, Lorant, who had just turned 34, joined after 134 Bundesliga games for Eintracht, in which he had scored 21 goals, the Bundesliga climber and at that time the league table penultimate, FC Schalke 04 , at. With the Schalke team he finished 16th at the end of the season. In the then usual relegation games against the second division third , in that season Bayer 05 Uerdingen , Schalke lost 3-1 away and were relegated from the elite class for the second time after a 1-1 draw in the second leg. This was the fourth Bundesliga relegation for Lorant, who had played in all league games of the Knappen after his transfer except for the game on matchday 22, but remained goalless.

Hannover 96 and SV Heidingsfeld

Lorant then played the 1983/84 season in the second Bundesliga for Hannover 96 , which was only 14th that year. From 1984 to 1986 at SV Heidingsfeld and from 1986 to 1987 at 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 , he was still a player-coach in the upscale amateur area.

Style of play

Lorant was known as a tough player and earned the nickname Werner Beinhart . In his total of 325 Bundesliga games, in which he scored 54 goals and one own goal, he was awarded 67 yellow and two red cards. The testicles of national player Jupp Kapellmann , at that time with FC Bayern Munich , he grabbed one day so hard that he had to be treated by a doctor. In 1974 he kicked Theo Homann from Wuppertaler SV so badly in the knee that he had to be declared a sports disabled person. In the Second Bundesliga, in which he scored eight goals in 61 games, he was warned eight more times.

Bernd Hölzenbein once said the following about him: “His toughness was feared. If an opponent annoyed me, I threatened him with Werner. According to the motto: I put the Lorant on you. It was already quiet. "

Career as a coach

Beginnings

He made his first coaching experience as a professional at Rot-Weiss Essen, when he was also looking after the lower class SC Westtünnen in Hamm, but as a coach he discovered one of his future teammates in Essen in Horst Hrubesch. In the 1982/83 season, then still a professional at Eintracht Frankfurt, he also looked after VfR Groß-Gerau on the side , but had to stop his engagement at the end of November due to his move to FC Schalke 04 . After his professional career, Lorant began his actual coaching career in 1984 with the Würzburg club SV Heidingsfeld , where he worked as a player coach . From 1986 he filled this position at 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 , with whom he rose to the second division in 1990 . From 1990 he trained Viktoria Aschaffenburg and won the championship in the third-class Oberliga Hessen with the club in 1992.

Era at 1860 Munich

On July 1, 1992, he was the President of the years in the third-rate Bayernliga playing TSV 1860 Munich , Karl-Heinz Wildmoser committed. He led the "Löwen" into the 1st Bundesliga within two years and reached 7th place with them in 1997, which was enough to qualify for the UEFA Cup that year. The 60s failed in the second round to Rapid Vienna . After further placements in midfield, the TSV 1860 reached fourth place in 2000; in qualifying for the Champions League he failed with 1: 2 and 0: 1 to Leeds United . In the subsequent participation in the UEFA Cup, 1860 retired after a remarkable 2-2 away with a 0-2 home defeat against AC Parma . In the Bundesliga 1860 was 11th.

After a 1: 5 defeat on the ninth day of the 2001/02 season in the derby against FC Bayern, the smoldering arguments with club president Wildmoser reached their climax and Lorant was sacked. The former Austrian national player and former Löwen player Peter Pacult took over as coach of the team, which was 10th at the time .

The Lorant era was mainly characterized by the fact that large parts of the team were replaced every year. The national players Thomas Häßler and Martin Max played in the late phase of their careers from 1999 under Lorant. Max was twice the top scorer in the Bundesliga . National player Jens Jeremies was discovered at TSV 1860 at the time. Foreign national players at that time included Abédi Pelé from Ghana, Harald Cerny from Austria, Miroslav Stević from Serbia and Paul Agostino and Ned Zelic from Australia. Bernhard Winkler , Horst Heldt , Olaf Bodden , Manfred Schwabl and Bernhard Trares were other players who received attention in 1860 in the Lorant era.

Stations in Turkey, South Korea, Cyprus and Iran

From January 2002 he coached the top Turkish club Fenerbahçe Istanbul . After his release there in December of the same year, he was immediately committed by the second division club Rot Weiss Ahlen , which at the time was known as LR Ahlen . He led the club from the relegation zone to twelfth place. But there was still no engagement beyond the end of the season.

From October 2003 he coached the newly founded South Korean club Incheon United and introduced it to the also newly founded first division, the K-League , which started playing in April 2004. Incheon was not able to convince there and the separation took place in August.

From March to May 2005 he sat on the bench of the Cypriot champions APOEL Nicosia , but could not fulfill the hopes of a successful title defense and only came second. In June of that year he took over the Turkish first division promoted Sivasspor and immediately reached eighth place in the Süper Lig with the club . After he had already been briefly discussed as a coach for Sportfreunde Siegen in February 2006 , the contract, which originally ran until 2007, was terminated prematurely at the end of the season.

From July to October 2006 he was a coach at Saipa Tehran before returning to Kayseri Erciyesspor in Turkey. In January 2007, the club was last in the Süper Lig, and it came to an early separation.

Unterhaching and return to Turkey

In March 2007 Lorant was hired as an emergency helper by the Munich suburbs club, SpVgg Unterhaching , which was on the penultimate place in the second division . However, he could not give the team any decisive impetus, and nothing changed in the table position until the end of the season. After his contract, which originally ran until the end of the season, was extended by one year in May 2007, Lorant resigned from the third division in early October; because the desired sporting success had not materialized, so that he wanted to clear the way for a fresh start at SpVgg.

Shortly afterwards he returned to Turkey to coach the first division promoted Kasımpaşa Istanbul ; after six defeats in the first six games, however, the contract was mutually dissolved in early December 2007.

Intermezzo in China and Slovakia

A short time later he signed with the Chinese first division club Liaoning FC , where, according to his own statements, he canceled his contract after just three months. Liaoning was at the bottom of the table and was relegated to the end of the season after ten years of membership from the top division.

In August 2008 Lorant coached the Munich district league club SV ATA Spor at short notice. before he became coach at the Slovak first division DAC Dunajská Streda for eight months at the end of the month ; After a 6-0 defeat at Slovan Bratislava, his contract was canceled amicably on April 22, 2009, according to media reports. The club finished the season as eighth of nine clubs and held the league.

In March 2010, Lorant was appointed sports director of Tennis Borussia Berlin , but the club asked to open insolvency proceedings in May .

In March 2012 Lorant was again a coach at the Slovak club DAC Dunajská Streda . At the beginning of April, however, he had to give up his post again because the required coaching license had expired.

Relegation preventer in the amateur area

In April 2015 Lorant took over the training for the last seven games of the season at the district league club TSV Waging am See in the Upper Bavarian district of Traunstein as an emergency helper to prevent relegation. In the 94th minute of the last game of the season against ESV Munich, Maxi Hösle, who had recently been substituted on by Lorant, managed to equalize 1-1 after a free kick, which meant keeping up the league, celebrated as the “miracle of Waging”. Lorant's work in Waging, in which TSV won four times, was also accompanied by a crowd boom.

In January 2017, the relegation-threatened Austrian club Union Hallein hired him . With sometimes peculiar methods and criminal training, Lorant managed to save the Halleiners from relegation from the fourth-class Salzburg league . In the following season, his Waginger neighbor, the German ex-national player Dieter Eckstein , who had been his assistant coach since April, took over the coaching position. However, he was replaced in October by former Austrian national player Thomas Eder , who, however, could not last long. After Lorant's driver's license had been removed by the police for 1.1 ‰ alcohol while commuting to Hallein, he formed a car pool with Eckstein. In April 2019, local rival FC Hallein 04, who was last placed in the 1. Landesliga Salzburg at the time, signed him for the rest of the season.

attitude

Lorant also stayed as coach Werner Beinhart . "I only change when someone breaks a leg," he once remarked. He commented on his relationship with the team with “what should I talk to the players, I'm not a pastor”. He was known for his choleric temper. Often he was referred to the stands because of his lack of self-control towards referees and opposing players, with long game bans and heavy fines. He once had referee Georg Dardenne reported in the press that he could be glad that he had "got no one" because he was so far away.

Others

It was the first game that the Haitian national team played after the disaster.

In May 2011, Lorant's property in Dorfen near Munich was evacuated at the instigation of the new owner. Before that, there had been a foreclosure auction because Lorant was unable to service his € 550,000 mortgage. Speculation with Eastern real estate in the 1990s was given as the cause of his financial situation. At the same time he separated from his wife.
