Bernhard Trares (born August 18, 1965 in Bensheim, Hesse) is a retired German professional footballer, who played mainly as a central defender.
Playing career
Having played in his youth for SV Kirschhausen, Trares joined Eintracht Frankfurt in 1982. His professional career started in 1985 in the second division at SV Darmstadt 98, as a defensive midfielder. During four seasons he made 126 appearances for the "Lilies", scoring 28 goals (11 in his last).
In 1989 Trares joined Alemannia Aachen, also in the category, being relegated in his first season, and switching to fellow league side TSV 1860 München in 1991, in another relegation. In just two further seasons, however, the Bavarian outfit succeeded to promote to the Bundesliga, subsequently finishing 14th, with the player netting four goals in 31 contests, while also being sent off twice.
After three years, Trares left Munich to join SV Werder Bremen, where he became an important player in the team's defence, also helping it to the 1999 German Cup, in a penalty shootout win against FC Bayern Munich (1–1 after extra time). At age 35, he moved to second division team SV Waldhof Mannheim, after which he joined Karlsruher SC for another two years in the category, with a further 55 matches (three goals).
Altogether Trares, who retired at almost 39, made 183 top level appearances scoring 16 goals, with an additional 281 games in the second division, scoring 46.
Coaching career
In December 2004, Trares began his coaching career, serving as assistant manager with former side 1860 München, and remaining in the post until April 2006. In January 2007, he took the reins of Wormatia Worms in Oberliga Südwest. In his first season, he led the team to the Südwest-Pokal (the Cup of the Südwestdeutscher Fußballverband, i.e. South-West German football association), thus qualifying for the first round of the German Cup.
On 29 April 2009, Trares was fired by the Worms.[1] In November of the following year, he was appointed at FSV Frankfurt's reserves.
