Willi Entenmann (born September 25, 1943 in Benningen am Neckar , Württemberg ; † January 3, 2012 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , Bavaria ) was a German football player and coach . As a player at VfB Stuttgart , Entenmann made 237 Bundesliga games and eight second division games. Here he scored 28 goals. After his active career, he worked for VfB Stuttgart as an amateur, assistant and head coach and for 1. FC Nürnberg .

Player career

Willi Entenmann grew up in Benningen am Neckar, north of Stuttgart , where he was born in 1943. He began playing football as a defender at TSV Benningen , for whom his older brother Rudi and younger brother Werner also played. He was a member of the A junior team, which was defeated by VfB Stuttgart in the 1962 final of the Württemberg youth championship. Among the active players, he played one season in what was then the 1st Amateur League North-Württemberg , before he followed his brother Rudi, who had already changed two years earlier, to VfB Stuttgart in 1963.

In Stuttgart he first played in the club's amateur team before playing his first Bundesliga game on October 30, 1965 with the professional team in the 0-1 away defeat at Borussia Mönchengladbach . He played on right winger and brother Rudi on his traditional position of right runner. After his second Bundesliga assignment in December 1965, the young striker under coach Rudi Gutendorf was able to assert himself as a regular at the side of teammates Günter Sawitzki , Klaus-Dieter Sieloff and Erwin Waldner and made another twelve appearances in the 1965/66 season, where he was on December 11, 1965 scored his first goal with his header to 2-0 in the 4-2 win against Hannover 96 and at the end of the season finished 11th with the Swabians. By 1975, Entenmann, who began his career as a striker and later became a defender, wore the VfB jersey in a total of 237 Bundesliga games and scored 28 goals. After VfB Stuttgart, which had reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup the year before, relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga South in 1975, Willi Entenmann played eight games under coach István Sztani in the first year of the second division, but he was not part of the promotion team in 1977 more on.

He ended his active career with TSG Backnang in 1919 , for which he played from 1976 to 1978.

Coaching career

After his time as a professional, Entenmann, who initially trained as a carpenter in his parents' business and later trained as a specialist sports teacher, concentrated on his teaching assignment and gave sports lessons at the secondary school in Marbach.

VfB Stuttgart

In the summer of 1978 Willi Entenmann returned to Stuttgart and became the coach of the VfB amateurs who had slipped into the association league. During this time he established new training methods, formed players like Rainer Adrion , Günther Schäfer and Andreas Müller and created a foundation from which VfB's successful youth work still benefits today. Under the trained secondary school teacher, who had passed his coaching license in 1987 with an overall grade of 1.2, the Swabian reserve team rose to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg in 1979 and became German amateur champions the following year with a 2-1 in the final against FC Augsburg . When the coach Helmut Benthaus came to VfB from FC Basel in 1982 , he made Duck Man his assistant coach. Together they complemented each other well and led VfB Stuttgart to its third German championship in 1984. After Benthaus' successor Otto Barić was dismissed in early March 1986, VfB President Mayer-Vorfelder promoted Entenmann to head coach. Under him, the team achieved a score of 17: 3 points in the remaining ten Bundesliga games - including six wins in six games in a row - and finished fifth. He also led VfB into the cup final, which they lost to FC Bayern Munich . Despite these successes and a wave of sympathy carried by the Stuttgart supporters, Willi Entenmann was replaced on the bench by Egon Coordes in the 1986/87 season and from now on trained again for the club's amateur team.

With the engagement of the Dutchman Arie Haan , Willi Entenmann returned to the Swabian bank as assistant coach in 1987 and together with him formed a successful team similar to that of Helmut Benthaus. In 1989 VfB reached the UEFA Cup final against SSC Napoli with Diego Maradona , which was only lost unluckily. After separating from Arie Haan, Entenmann took over the helm again in March 1990. However, the meticulous worker failed to revive the successes of 1986; so he had to make way for Christoph Daum in November of the same year .

1. FC Nürnberg and other clubs

After his era at VfB, Entenmann coached 1. FC Nürnberg (1991 to November 9, 1993 and from May 3, 1996 to August 31, 1997), again the amateurs of VfB Stuttgart (1994 to May 3, 1996), SpVgg Unterhaching (October 2, 1997 to June 30, 1998), twice the SV Sandhausen (1999/00 and 2002), the VfR Aalen (2000/01) and the SGV Freiberg (October 30, 2003 to October 31, 2004).

Life after his active career

After the end of his career, the father of two children and the grandfather of five grandchildren lived with his wife Ulrike in Affalterbach , where he pursued his hobbies of sports and astronomy . Professionally, Entenmann worked, among other things, as a sports teacher at the Marbach secondary school.

He collapsed during cross-country skiing in the Tannheimer Tal on January 3, 2012 and was flown to the Garmisch-Partenkirchen hospital, where he died of heart failure on the same day.
