In 1989, he became the youth coach for Borussia Dortmund, where he became head coach in 1998, thus becoming the youngest head coach in the Bundesliga of all time at the age of 32. After one and a half years at this position he was sacked moved to the position of coordinator of the youth system of the club.

[edit] Germany national team

He gave up this post after being offered the position as director of the German national team. In 2000, he became its head coach. Rudi Völler, however, made most of the decisions, but didn't have a coaching license and thus couldn't be the official head coach. After Germany was eliminated in the first round of the 2004 European Championship, Völler and he resigned from their positions.
