jupp heynckes

And in September 2017, after the dismissal of Carlo Ancelotti, Jupp Heynckes again had to act as a "firefighter". He led the club to another league title, and in the Champions League he reached the semi-finals, where he lost to Real Madrid with a very controversial refereeing.

Paradoxically, during that season, the management of Bayern agreed with Josep Guardiola, the Spaniard was supposed to lead the club from July 2013. And the football world saw for the first time how the team was saying goodbye to the coach who had just led it to the "treble". I doubt that this will ever happen again.

Despite this, Jupp Heynckes was left on the coaching bridge, everyone saw that the team has a game, and a healthy atmosphere reigns in the locker room. And Jupp justified the trust - Bayern won the championship, the German Cup and won the Champions League for the first time since 2001. Moreover, the Bavarians staged a kind of "revenge" for Dortmund. Not only were the national titles taken away from Borussia, it was Bayern that beat it in the quarterfinals of the National Cup, and then in the Champions League final.

The hosts held the advantage throughout the match, and the goal scored by Thomas Muller in the 83rd minute turned out to be the winning goal. But Chelsea managed to get away from defeat and win in a penalty shootout.

Jupp Heynckes' third coming to Bayern took place in 2011, and at the end of the season, Bayern became "three times second". The Bavarians lost the championship title to Borussia Dortmund, they also lost to it in the final of the German Cup. And the most disappointing defeat happened in the Champions League final. The match took place at the Allianz Arena, home to Bayern, and she was a clear favorite in the meeting with Chelsea.

Bayern were in third place in the table by that time. Heynckes managed to slightly reduce the gap from the leading Wolfsburg and finish the championship in second place.

Bayern Munich again

2009, 2011-2013, 2017-2018

In April 2009, Jupp Heynckes was called back to Bayern Munich. However, this time he was offered a temporary contract – after the dismissal of Jurgen Klinsmann, he had to lead the team for only six rounds.

But here's the bad luck – Jupp Heynckes was fired for an unsatisfactory result in the Spanish championship, where Real Madrid took only fourth place. What can you do, this is a "royal" club, and even in the case of such victories, the coach is not immune from dismissal.

Heynckes lifted this curse, and, interestingly, on the way to the final, Real Madrid defeated two German clubs – Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund, the current winner of the trophy.

Real Madrid

1997-1998

Heynckes' success with medium-sized Spanish clubs attracted the attention of Real Madrid president Lorenzo Sanz. This was especially true of Tenerife's performance in Europe, because Real Madrid was dominated by a kind of curse – since 1996, the team could not win the Champions League (Cup).

And Bayer Leverkusen in the 2010-2011 season, Jupp Heynckes led to silver awards.

As for the success in the international arena, it should be noted that Tenerife reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup 1996-1997, when Jupp Heynckes' team beat Lazio, Feyenoord and the successful Danish Bronbdy in those years.

Athletic (Bilbao) in the 1993-1994 season and Tenerife in the 1995-1996 season under the leadership of Heynckes finished in fifth place in the Spanish championship, having received the right to compete in the UEFA Cup. Well, the third place in the Portuguese championship with Benfica is hardly a success.

Other clubs

Jupp Heynckes had a lot of football clubs in his coaching career. I don't see the point in telling about all of them, and therefore I will limit myself to listing them with an indication of the period of work and a small comment. I would like to draw the attention of fans of statistics that the chronology is not broken here, because about the work of Heynckes at Real Madrid (1997-1998 season) - a little lower.

Having won two consecutive league titles with Bayern, Jupp Heynckes left the team. This was largely due to the fact that the Munich club had already begun to turn into the notorious FC Hollywood, tormented by internal contradictions.

To be considered, but not to concede. Jupp Heynckes has always been considered a tough and demanding coach, but at the same time he always knew how to find contact with football players, who often came to him for advice, and not only football.

Bayern"

1987-1991

And then, in 1987, the young coach was noticed in Munich. Standing at the helm of Bayern, Heynckes faced completely different problems. If in Monchengladbach he was an indisputable authority for everyone, then here he had to reckon with both the management and the players.

In 2006, Jupp Heynckes will lead Borussia once again, but the club will be very bad and will leave the Bundesliga.

Therefore, Borussia had to forget about the championship titles and focus on more mundane tasks. Two sets of bronze medals and reaching the final of the German Cup - these are all the achievements of the Menchengladbach team under the leadership of Heynckes, which, however, is very good.

Just a year after the end of his playing career, Jupp Heynckes entered the coaching path, starting work in his native Borussia. The "golden" time of the Monchengladbach club had come to an end by that time, the outstanding players who took the field with Heynckes had completed their performances, and their shift was, alas, of a slightly different caliber.
