New Bayern coach: Heynckes - The best of Klopp and Rehhagel

The latest of Personnel, in these crazy days, messages in the Bundesliga on striking circus already no longer excited. It was after all for the post of coach at Bayern Munich, who on Friday announced the signing of Jupp Heynckes, 65. But this will leave Bayer Leverkusen in May. The moral question is at least since the recent Magath-castling any more, even though both clubs are fighting for a place in the Champions League - 17 April even to today.

The fact that none of the sensible question is, however, surprising. The Bundesliga subject for some time a certain obsession with youth, men and Jürgen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel, Mirko Slomka or Robin Dutt show what is possible with much enthusiasm and school knowledge. You will all have next season most likely European Cup games on the bench.

And the record holder? Collected after the experiment with the tendency to stubbornness Dutch football coach Louis van Gaal (59) an even older men: Jupp Heynckes in May 66 and the oldest of Bayern coach ever. In the Bundesliga, have since 1963 but worked six old coach, but subtract the emergency workers who stepped in to end the season, there was only one club, received at the start of a season a venture with a retirement age: VfB Stuttgart.

He undertook in 2005 the then 66-year-old Giovanni Trapattoni - after seven months was off duty. Can go well with the Bavarians and Heynckes? Oliver Kahn has had already hinted some skepticism: "If Heynckes is burning, why should not he do it? He knows the club and has successfully worked there for Klinsmann.

Whether this is a perspective and sustained, however, since I'm not a hundred percent sure. "This leads to the question of how old Jupp Heynckes really is. Not biologically, but mentally. Anyone familiar with his biography, can read many reports about his alleged conversion and must come to the realization that this man is getting younger.

Reiner Calmund, former manager in Leverkusen, has said in the Frankfurter Rundschau: "There is the Old Bell home, coach senior Jupp Heynckes, which has become very great, which has become much more relaxed and confident." That sounds almost funny associated with a 65-year-old who has had to Otto Rehhagel, most Bundesliga games as a player and coach (936).

Meets Heynckes so his contract, he hits the thousand mark. The attributes, however, the coach of his age group as said Rehhagel and Hans Meyer has characterized, stored, or reverse engineer Heynckes. The authoritarian taskmaster image he had in any case at the outset of his career, with 34th Borussia Moenchengladbach (1979-1987), for which he had fired over 200 goals, he became the "Prussia of the Lower Rhine.

18-year-old was rushed to lead the West over the place and his ambition ("At 40 I would have become German champion as a coach) was not just a great atmosphere. Ewald Lienen, then his player, once said: "There have been periods when I had him shoot the moon can. He has set himself insane when he was under pressure and then disappointed us, he could be cruel in his criticism hurtful.

"It went so far that the Spielerrat 1986, he went and revealed, young professionals were afraid of him. Then it got better - and when his move to Bayern Munich, it was clear even ran away some tears. He said goodbye with a still valid club record of ten wins in a row. In Munich Heynckes went through the normal coach hell, even two championship kept him in the fourth year prior to the expulsion (1991).

Of looseness was still no sign: Watch TV and smoking in Spielerbus from previous Udo Lattek permitted was forbidden. Only when Heynckes moved to Spain, he got used to serenity. "I am now more responsive to the people I've learned in Spain," he said 2003rd But it was only the second time.

During his league comeback 1994/95 in Frankfurt, he was still of the Prussians from the Lower Rhine. He thundered the sloppy Stars Anthony Yeboah, Jay-Jay Okocha and Maurizio Gaudino on punitive training, after which they are not offended released the next game. Yeboah got ugly accusations ("He does not like foreigners") and described the image of a despot: "He only likes himself, wants to be the greatest.

. All must be under his "friends, they were not, and when the success without the suspended trio stayed away, came Heynckes back bitterly:" The players get more and more alibis for their weaknesses, morals, and responsibility to stay on the track "Ten years. Heynckes said later that he had "the right things, but hasty actions".

It is then always a little taken until it was abandoned sovereign, he is today. At Real Madrid they have released it in 1998 despite Champions League victory, as the victim of a media campaign. Why? Straightforward as it has always been, he has not spoken to reporters for six months. In the Bundesliga, then the Heynckes has tried twice unsuccessfully - to Schalke and Moenchengladbach Schalke released him after 16 months, and Rudi Assauer called him saying he was "just a trainer of the old school." Striker Ebbe Sand told.

"If we wanted to talk to Heynckes, he has made clear that only one of its mind" But he did choose the Spielerrat, "I am now a different opinion than before." Tagged piece by piece to Heynckes developed to an almost ideal coach that has to do with an illness: "I have a two-year phase of the disease have undergone multiple operations.

As I reflected all this, and I realized that many things in life are not so important. That felt good. "Since then, his handling has become even more human. Toni Kroos Bayern already knows his new boss: "I had him a year in Leverkusen and I can say that he is a great coach. He has an uncanny knack of how to deal with a team.

"In Leverkusen Heynckes now plays in the second year the Champions League places, which he reached as Bavaria Nothelfer 2009th This is the most significant transformation of Jupp Heynckes: he suddenly lasting success in the Bundesliga. The right thing for Bavaria.
