Wolfgang Wolf (born September 24, 1957 in Tiefenthal ) is a former German football player and today's trainer and functional . He is currently the sports director at 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig , which he also looked after as an interim head coach.
Career as a player
His first station as a player was the Palatinate VfR Hettenleidelheim until 1976. After that, he moved to 1. FC Kaiserslautern (1976-88) together with his brother Arno . Initially active with the amateurs, he played his first games for the first team in the Bundesliga in the 1978/79 season and received a licensed player contract in 1979. In 1981 he was in the final of the DFB Cup against Eintracht Frankfurt, which was lost 3-1. After 10 years and a total of 248 games for Kaiserslautern, Wolf moved to the Stuttgarter Kickers in 1988 , who played in the 1st and 2nd league (1988-92). The defender finally let his career end with VfR Mannheim (1992-94).
Greatest success as a player
- 1979–1982 qualification for the UEFA Cup with 1. FC Kaiserslautern
- 1981 DFB-Pokal finalist with 1. FC Kaiserslautern
- 1988 and 1991 promotion to the Bundesliga with Stuttgarter Kickers
- a total of 308 Bundesliga games, 16 goals
Career as a coach
Wolf began his career in 1994 as a coach with the Stuttgarter Kickers in the Regionalliga Süd . In the 1995/96 season he was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga .
Coach in the 1st Bundesliga
In March 1998 he became the coach of VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga , which was deep in relegation battle. Wolf managed to keep the class. In the 1999/2000 season , the team played in the UEFA Cup, where they were eliminated in the third round. In March 2003, Wolf gave up his involvement with the Lower Saxony despite an ongoing contract. His successor was Jürgen Röber .
In April 2003, Wolf moved to Bundesliga club 1. FC Nürnberg , where he took over the club in the table basement, this time as the successor to Klaus Augenthaler , as he did when he first started in Wolfsburg . However, he could no longer prevent relegation to the 2nd division. After a season in the second division, Wolf and the team were promoted to the first division again in 2004. When the club was last in the table in October 2005, Wolf was replaced by Hans Meyer .
Only one month later, in November 2005, Wolf moved to 1. FC Kaiserslautern as the successor to the dismissed Michael Henke . Henke, Ottmar Hitzfeld's long-time assistant , had only taken over FCK in the first division in the summer. Like Wolf's previous employer, this club was also at the bottom of the table. However, Wolf did not manage to save the team from relegation to the 2nd division. In the 2006/07 season , Wolf was released in the current second division season.
Stations in the third and second Bundesliga
After Wolf had only trained Skoda Xanthi in Greece for two months in the summer of 2009 , he signed with Kickers Offenbach in February 2010 , who at that time were playing in the 3rd soccer league and had ambitions for promotion to the 2nd league. On February 26, 2011 Wolfgang Wolf was dismissed as head coach of Kickers Offenbach after a 1-1 draw against VfR Aalen . Offenbach was at that time still on the relegation place to the 2nd division, but was 13 points behind second place and only one point ahead of fourth place. That wasn't enough for my own requirements.
On December 7, 2011, Wolfgang Wolf succeeded Peter Vollmann as coach of FC Hansa Rostock ; he was supposed to save the club from relegation to the third division, which he did not succeed. His contract with Hansa was extended until June 30, 2013 and he temporarily took over the vacant managerial position in the club. On September 3, 2012, he was released because of sporting failure in the 3rd division.
Stations in the regional league
At the end of October 2019, Wolf took over the position of head coach of the regional league team, initially on an interim basis, as the sports director of 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig . He followed at club Rainer Lisiewicz, which was in 4th place in the table after eleven games . At the beginning of December 2019, the club announced that Wolf would hold the office until the end of the season. After the season of the Regionalliga Nordost was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic , Leipzig was reported by NOFV as the team with the highest quotas for the promotion games against the representative of Regionalliga West . By applying the away goals rule , however, at the end of the SC Verl rose to the 3rd division .

- 1996: Promotion from the Regionalliga to the 2nd Bundesliga with the Stuttgarter Kickers
- 1999: Qualification for the UEFA Cup with VfL Wolfsburg
