Werner Wolf (soccer player)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Werner Wolf (born February 22, 1925 in Dresden ; † August 6, 2015 there ) was a German football player and football coach.

Wolf joined the youth soccer team of the sports club in the Dresden district of Zschachwitz in 1935 at the age of ten . Even after the end of the Second World War he continued to play football in Zschachwitz, most recently as a striker with BSG Stahl Zschachwitz in the third-class district class of Dresden. In 1951 he was accepted into the newly formed senior division team of the Barracked People's Police Forward Leipzig . In the course of the 1952/53 season he moved with the team to East Berlin , which continued to appear in the league as SV Vorwärts of KVP Berlin and later as ASK Vorwärts Berlin, but was relegated at the end of the season. With the help of Wolf, who played 17 games in the GDR league and scored 12 goals, Vorwärts immediately rose again and crowned the season by surprisingly winning the GDR soccer cup . On July 3, 1954 , the ASK defeated the upper division Motor Zwickau 2-1 with Wolf as the half-left striker in the final. Another highlight of his football career was his participation in the B international match on September 26, 1954 against Poland's B selection (2-1). Until the end of the 1958 season, Wolf was a member of the army club, but last year he only saw winning the GDR championship as a reservist without being part of the championship team. At the same time, Wolf ended his career as a football player at the age of 33 after 108 league games with 21 goals.

From 1959 to 1962 Werner graduated from the Leipzig Sport University DHfK with a technical college training course. At the same time he was already assistant trainer at ASK Vorwärts Berlin. In the 1963/64 season he trained the GDR league club forward Cottbus and was then taken over by the GDR Football Association . There he was assistant coach of the young national team in 1966, assistant coach of the GDR national team until 1970 and coach of the GDR youth team until 1976. At the beginning of the 1976/77 season, Wolf took over the coaching position at FC Vorwärts Frankfurt , the successor club to his former place of work Vorwärts Berlin. This had finished the last season with a disappointing 12th place in the league, but Wolf could not improve. In 1976/77 the Frankfurters landed again on rank 12, and after the season 1977/78 the FC Vorwärts had to relegate from the league. Despite an excellent start in the second-rate GDR league, Wolf was fired in October 1978. From 1980 to 1982 the DFV sent Wolf to the Congo as national coach .
