Friedhelm Funkel (born 10 December 1953) is a German football manager and former player.[1][2][3] He currently coaches Fortuna Düsseldorf.
Coaching career
Eintracht Frankfurt
Funkel coached Eintracht Frankfurt from 2004–09.[4] He was subsequently released from his contract on 1 July 2009. He led the club into the Bundesliga in his first season in charge. One year later, he and the team avoided relegation and surprisingly reached the German Cup final, which eventually sent them to the UEFA Cup.
Tied with Erich Ribbeck, Funkel holds the record for the longest tenure at Eintracht, with five full seasons.
Hertha BSC
On 3 October 2009, Hertha BSC introduced Funkel as their new head coach after having fired Lucien Favre.[5] After Hertha was relegated, Funkel and the club mutually agreed to not extend his contract.[6]
VfL Bochum
On 22 May 2010, he was named new coach of VfL Bochum. He got sacked on 14 September 2011.
Alemannia Aachen
On 20 September 2011, Funkel took over the job as manager of Alemannia Aachen. Funkel was dismissed of his job on 1 April 2012, after a streak of five consecutive losses. He finished with a record of three wins, eight draws, and nine losses in 20 matches.[7]
TSV 1860 München
On 7 September 2013, he was named new coach of 1860 München.[8] His first match in–charge was a 0–0 draw against VfR Aalen on 13 September 2013.[9] On 2 April 2014, 1860 München announced that Funkel is going to leave the club after the season because of "different conceptual views on the orientation in sport."[10] However, 1860 München sacked Funkel on 6 April 2014[11] after losing to Karlsruher SC 3–0[12] at home earlier in the day.[13] He finished with a record of seven wins, eight draws, and nine losses in 24 matches.[14]
Fortuna Düsseldorf
He was appointed as the new head coach of Fortuna Düsseldorf on 14 March 2016.[15]
