Wolf Werner (born April 8, 1942 in Kalisch , Wartheland , German Reich , now Poland , † June 29, 2018 in Kiel ) was a German football player and coach . He was also a manager at Fortuna Düsseldorf from 2007 to 2014 .

Life

player

Werner initially played at CfR Hardt from 1956 to 1962 and was active in the amateur league at TuRa Bremen from 1962 to 1969 . In the 1960s he was a contract soldier in the Bundeswehr in Bremen-Burglesum .

Trainer

Werner was coach of the amateur teams VfB Komet Bremen , FC Steinhude, FC Stern Misburg, BSV Gleidingen and TuS Esens until 1979 .

From 1979 to 1987 he worked under Jupp Heynckes as an assistant coach at Borussia Mönchengladbach , where he took over the position of head coach in 1987, which he held until 1989. With Borussia Mönchengladbach he was two German junior champions and reached 6th and 7th place with the professional team. Under him, Stefan Effenberg made his breakthrough in the Bundesliga.

Werner also went down in the club's history because he was the first Borussia coach who had to leave before the end of his contract. In November 1989 he was dismissed after a 1-0 defeat against Bayer 05 Uerdingen on matchday 17 and replaced by Gerd vom Bruch .

He then trained amateur and junior teams, including at FC Bayern Munich (1990–1992) and SV Wilhelmshaven .

Manager

From 1996 to 2007 Werner worked as a junior manager at Werder Bremen . With the establishment of organized structures, Werner played a major role in the fact that numerous talents such as Tim Borowski , Aaron Hunt , Nelson Valdez and Christian Schulz made it into the Bundesliga in a total of almost eleven years . During his time as a junior manager, the teams of the Werder performance center won the German A-Youth Championship 1999 and A-Youth Vice-Championship 2000, the German Vice-Championship of the B-Youth in 1999 as well as eight North German championship titles for the C-Juniors.

From April 11, 2007 to February 2014, Werner was a manager at Fortuna Düsseldorf . From November 2007 to the end of December 2007, he temporarily acted as interim coach for Fortuna, as coach Uwe Weidemann had been prematurely dismissed after only two wins from eight games. On January 1, 2008 Fortuna Düsseldorf signed Norbert Meier as a new coach; henceforth Werner took over the position of manager again. Werner was able to integrate talented young people from his own offspring in the following months and sign some powerful newcomers, so that Fortuna was able to celebrate the return to the 2nd Bundesliga with a 1-0 win at the home game against Werder Bremen II on May 23, 2009 .

Together with Norbert Meier as a trainer, Werner worked intensively on the further development and sporting redefinition of Fortuna in the years to come. In 2012 Fortuna managed to return to the Bundesliga after 15 years.

Werner caused a stir in 2012 when he dragged Fortuna player Andreas Lambertz away from an interview with the pay TV broadcaster Sky . This was preceded by allegedly negative reports about Fortuna from Sky. At the beginning of February 2014 Werner resigned as sports director.

On June 29, 2018 Werner died of an aortic bleeding at the age of 76 while on vacation in Kiel .

Jupp Heynckes wrote a personal obituary in kicker (issue of July 2, 2018) and praised Werner's human qualities in particular: “His competence, his specialist knowledge, his pleasant tone and his human qualities were enriching.” Fortuna's CEO Robert Schäfer paid tribute to Werner in one club's own press release: “With him Fortuna Düsseldorf is losing one of its greatest personalities. ... The whole Fortuna family bows in mourning before the person Wolf Werner and his life's work. "

Werner was married twice and had three children from the second marriage.
