Josef "Jupp"Heynckes (German:[ˈjʊpˈhaɪnkəs]; born 9 May 1945) is a German retired professionalfootballer andmanager. For the majority of his playing career he was as astriker forBorussia Mönchengladbach in its golden era of the 1960s and '70s, when they won many nationalchampionships and theDFB-Pokal, as well as theUEFA Cup. During this period the team played in its onlyEuropean Cup final in1977, losing toLiverpool. He is the fourth-highest goalscorer in thehistory of the Bundesliga, with 220 goals. He was a member of theWest Germany national team that won theUEFA Euro 1972 and the1974 FIFA World Cup titles.
As manager, Heynckes won fourBundesliga titles withBayern Munich and two UEFA Champions Leagues; withReal Madrid in1997–98 and Bayern in2012–13, the latter of which was part of acontinental treble. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time.[1][2][3]
Heynckes played 369 matches in the GermanBundesliga, scoring 220 goals.[4] His tally is the fourth highest in this league, afterGerd Müller's 365 goals,Robert Lewandowski's 312, andKlaus Fischer's 268.[5]
After playing for amateur club Grün-Weiß Holt as a youth,[6] Heynckes started his professional career in 1964 with hishometown clubBorussia Mönchengladbach who were then in thesecond division.[5] In 1965, the club, managed byHennes Weisweiler, achieved promotion to theBundesliga,[5][7] with the teenaged striker scoring 23 goals in 25 matches in his debut season.
In August 1965, Heynckes scored his first two Bundesliga goals againstSC Tasmania 1900 Berlin.[8] He scored 27 Bundesliga goals in two seasons for Borussia[9] before joiningHannover 96, where he spent three years and scored 25 times in 86 league matches.[9]
He returned to Mönchengladbach in 1970, with the club having just won the firstleague title in its history.[7] With Heynckes, who scored 19 times in 33 matches, Gladbach became the first club to retain the Bundesliga title in1970–71.[7]
In the1971–72 European Cup, Heynckes scored twice in an extraordinary 7–1 win againstItalian championsInter Milan.[10] The match, however, was forced to be replayed after adrinks can had been thrown onto the pitch by a spectator, hitting Inter'sRoberto Boninsegna. Borussia drew the replayed home leg 0–0 and were eliminated 4–2 onaggregate.[11]
In 1973, after eliminating Dutch clubTwente 5–1 on aggregate in the semi-finals, Borussia Mönchengladbach became the first German side to reach thefinal of theUEFA Cup.[7] Borussia lost the away leg of the final againstLiverpool 3–0 atAnfield, after the match initially had to be abandoned after 27 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch. During the match, Heynckes had apenalty kick saved byRay Clemence, denying his side a decisiveaway goal.[12] In the return leg, Heynckes scored both goals in Gladbach's 2–0 win. The English team, however, prevailed 3–2 on aggregate to lift the trophy. With 12 goals, Heynckes was joint top scorer of the competition with Twente'sJan Jeuring. Despite disappointment in Europe, Gladbach ended the1972–73 season with success in theDFB-Pokal final, beating1. FC Köln at theRheinstadion inDüsseldorf.[7]
In the1973–74 season, Heynckes was jointtop goalscorer in the Bundesliga, alongsideGerd Müller, with 30 goals. His Mönchengladbach side finished second in the table, with Müller'sBayern Munich winning a record third consecutiveBundesliga title.[13] Heynckes was also the top scorer of the1973–74 European Cup Winners' Cup with eight goals. In this competition, Borussia Mönchengladbach were knocked out in the semi-finals byMilan, losing 2–1 on aggregate.

In1974–75,die Fohlen won their third Bundesliga title, with Heynckes finishing as the league's outrighttop goalscorer with 27 goals. The club also won its first European trophy with success in theUEFA Cup. After a 0–0 draw in the home leg ofthe final against Twente, Heynckes, who missed the home match, scored ahat-trick in a 5–1 away win inEnschede. This victory made Gladbach the first German winners of the UEFA Cup. Again, Heynckes was tournament top scorer, this time with ten goals. Altogether, Heynckes scored 23 goals in 21 games in the UEFA Cup, making him the ninth-highest goalscorer in the history of the competition, and the only member ofthe top ten to have scored at a ratio of over a goal per game.
After regaining the title, Weisweiler left Borussia to become manager ofBarcelona. He was replaced byUdo Lattek, under whom Heynckes would later begin his coaching career. Borussia Mönchengladbach went on to win the1975–76 and1976–77 Bundesliga titles, matching Bayern's feat of three titles in a row set earlier in the decade. In 1977, Borussia also reached its firstEuropean Cup final. In theprevious season's competition, Heynckes had been top scorer with six goals. In1976–77 European Cup, he was less prolific, scoring only one goal in the first round match againstAustria Wien. In thefinal, Gladbach again lost out to Liverpool, losing 3–1 atRome'sStadio Olimpico.
Heynckes scored 18 goals in the1977–78 Bundesliga season, including five in the record[7]12–0 win againstBorussia Dortmund on the final day of the season.[14] However, this was not enough to secure a fourth successive title, as 1. FC Köln won their final match againstFC St. Pauli 5–0 to take first place ongoal difference.[10] Heynckes scored four goals in the1977–78 European Cup as the team reached the semi-finals, where they were again defeated by Liverpool. Altogether, Heynckes scored 51 goals in 64 matches in European club competitions.[15] His average of 0.8 goals per match is only bettered by compatriot Gerd Müller, who achieved an average of 0.89 goals per match.

Heynckes was included in West Germany's squad for the1974 FIFA World Cup, which was held in West Germany. Despite his excellent form at club level, however, he spent most of the tournament on the bench as Gerd Müller, the national team'sall-time top goalscorer, was used as the starting centre forward by coachHelmut Schön.[20] Heynckes was in the starting line-up for West Germany's opening two fixtures againstChile andAustralia[21] but then played no further part due to injury anddie Nationalelf won theirsecond World Cup, beating theNetherlands 2–1 inthe final atMunich'sOlympiastadion. In 2013, Heynckes said of his experience at the 1974 World Cup, "I was in the starting lineup for the Germany national team competing for the World Cup, but after an injury I was sidelined for the entire final. This was the greatest disappointment of my life, but it spurred me on and became my greatest source of motivation."[22]
After his playing career, Heynckes stayed with Borussia Mönchengladbach and served the club for eight more years, first as an assistant and then as a manager, succeedingUdo Lattek in this position in 1979 at age 34.[23] Heynckes took over on 1 July 1979[24] and in the1979–80 season, Heynckes led Mönchengladbach to the1980 UEFA Cup final, where they lost toEintracht Frankfurt.

In hisfinal season in charge, Heynckes led Mönchengladbach to another third-place finish[40] and theUEFA Cup semi-final.[41] Despite not winning a trophy during his spell as manager of his hometown club, a record that earned him the nickname "the champion without a title",[10] he was appointed as manager of Bayern Munich in the summer of 1987, where he again succeeded the outgoing Udo Lattek.[42]
Heynckes finished with a record of 169 wins, 77 draws and 97 losses.[24]

Under Heynckes, Bayern reached the semi-finals of the 1988–89 UEFA Cup, the 1989–90 European Cup and the 1990–91 European Cup. In each campaign, they were knocked out by the team which went on to win the competition.

In 1992, he was appointed manager ofAthletic Bilbao,[60] becoming only the third German manager in Spain'sLa Liga afterHennes Weisweiler and Udo Lattek, both of whom managedBarcelona.

Heynckes' spell at the Eintracht was problematic and he clashed with the club's star playersTony Yeboah,Jay-Jay Okocha andMaurizio Gaudino.[69] In December 1994, the three players were punished for a perceived lack of effort with extra training sessions. Because of this the players refused to play in Eintracht's next match against Hamburger SV and were suspended indefinitely by the club.[70] Gaudino was loaned out toManchester City later in the month[71] and Yeboah was sold toLeeds United in January 1995. Okocha was later allowed to return to the team before leaving forFenerbahçe in 1996. Heynckes left the club on 2 April 1995 after a 3–0 home defeat toSchalke 04[68] with the team in 13th place inthe table.[72] Heynckes finished with a record of 12 wins, 10 draws and 12 losses.[67]

After his dismissal by Real Madrid, Heynckes took a year out of football before joining Portuguese clubBenfica for the1999–2000 season.[60][82] Heynckes replacedGraeme Souness.[82] Benfica finished third[85] in Heynckes' only full season in charge and were knocked out of theUEFA Cup at the third round with an 8–1 aggregate defeat byCelta Vigo, losing the first leg 7–0.[86] They were knocked out in the round of 16 of the Portuguese Cup.[87]

They were eliminated in the second round of theCopa del Rey.[95] In June 2003, Heynckes left Athletic to become head coach of Schalke 04.[96]
In 2003, after eight years managing inIberia, Heynckes returned to Germany to manage Schalke 04.[96] Upon joiningdie Königsblauen Heynckes said: "Schalke is something special, for many it is like a religion, for me it is an absolutely ideal position."[97] His first match was a 1–0 win againstDacia Chișinău on 19 July 2003 in theIntertoto Cup.[98] His first league match was a 2–2 draw against Borussia Dortmund on 2 August 2003.[99] Despite targeting a top five finish upon his appointment,[97] Schalke were eliminated in the second round of the German Cup bySC Freiburg.[99] Freiburg won 7–3 and scored four goals in extra time.[100] Schalke finished the2003–04 season in seventh place in theBundesliga.[101]

In May 2006, Heynckes returned to manage Borussia Mönchengladbach, the club where he had begun his career as both a player and manager.
Heynckes' first match was a 2–0 win againstEnergie Cottbus on 12 August 2006.[106] Heynckes' comeback started well, with Gladbach in fifth position in theBundesliga at the end of the seventh matchday after winning each of their opening four home matches.[107] He resigned on 31 January 2007,[108] however, after 14-straight Bundesliga matches without a win[106] saw Borussia drop to 17th place in the table.[109] with the coach requiring police protection for matches againstVfL Bochum and Energie Cottbus in the previous month.[110] On departing Borussia, Heynckes refused a pay-off and returned his company car to the club office freshly cleaned and with a full tank of petrol.[111] In May 2013, upon returning toBorussia-Park for his originally final match as a Bundesliga coach, Heynckes said: "This is my club. It's where I started as a 19-year-old professional, then worked as a coach. Since then I have come full circle. Mönchengladbach is my home town, I spent 23 years at the club, so this will not be just a normal game for me."[112]
The team's fortunes did not improve after Heynckes' departure and the club was relegated at the end of the season, finishing last in the Bundesliga table.[113]
Heynckes finished with a record of five wins, four draws and 12 losses.[24]
After over two years out of football, Heynckes came out of retirement[114] and returned to football in April 2009, becomingcaretaker manager of his former club Bayern Munich, replacing the sackedJürgen Klinsmann.[115] Bayern were in danger of missing out on qualification for theChampions League upon Heynckes' appointment,[116] but the team won four and drew one of its remaining matches,[117] finishing second in theBundesliga, two points behindchampionsVfL Wolfsburg.[118]
The four Bayern wins were against Borussia Mönchengladbach,[119] Energie Cottbus,[120]Bayer Leverkusen,[121] and VfB Stuttgart.[122] The draw was against1899 Hoffenheim.[123]
On 5 June 2009, Heynckes signed a two-year contract to manage Bayer Leverkusen.[124] Heynckes' first match was a 1–0 German Cup win againstSV Babelsberg 03 on 31 July 2009.[125] Bayer Leverkusen were eventually eliminated by Kaiserslautern in the second round.[125] The team started the season with arecord 24Bundesliga matches unbeaten, challenging Bayern Munich for theleague title.[126] The team's unbeaten record finally came to an end in March 2010 with a 3–2 defeat at 1. FC Nürnberg,[127] after which Leverkusen only won two of their final nine matches and finished in fourth place.[128][129]
In the2010–11 season, Leverkusen finished runner-up in theBundesliga to Borussia Dortmund,[130] thus qualifying for theChampions League for the first time since2005. It was also the club's highest final league position since the2001–02 season. They were knocked out in the second round of the DFB-Pokal[131] for the second consecutive season. They also reached the round of 16 in theEuropa League.[131]
Despite his success, Heynckes decided not to extend his contract and left Bayer Leverkusen in the 2011 close season to take over at Bayern Munich for a third time.[132][133][134]
On 25 March 2011, it was announced that Heynckes would be replacingLouis van Gaal as the manager of Bayern Munich at the beginning of the2011–12 season.[135] At the age of 66, he was the oldest coach in the Bundesliga.[136] Heynckes took over a team which had finished third in the2010–11 Bundesliga, three points behind his Bayer Leverkusen side. He finished with a record of 44 wins, 26 draws and 14 losses at Bayer Leverkusen.[137]
Heynckes' first match was a 3–0 win againstEintracht Braunschweig in the first round of the2011–12 DFB-Pokal.[138] Bayern started the league season with a surprise 1–0 defeat to Heynckes' former club Borussia Mönchengladbach at theAllianz Arena,[139] before six consecutiveBundesliga winswithout conceding took them to the top of the table.[140] In all competitions, Bayern kept 12 consecutive clean sheets, including fourChampions League matches, the last of which came in a 4–0 win overHertha BSC.[141] This run of good form ended with a 2–1 defeat toHannover 96, and losses to Borussia Dortmund andMainz 05 soon followed, allowing Dortmund, the previous season's champions, to overtake Bayern at the top of the table.[142] Bayern briefly regained top spot in January and February, but after theBavarians' draw with Hamburger SV on matchday 20, Dortmund again gained first position[143] and went on to retain their title by eight points, ending the season on a 28-match unbeaten run.[144]
On 17 March 2012, Heynckes oversaw his 600th Bundesliga match as manager, a 6–0 victory over Hertha BSC. His opposing coach that day,Otto Rehhagel, is the only coach who has managed more Bundesliga matches, with over 800.[145]
After finishing the Bundesliga season in second place,[146] Bayern faced champions Dortmund in the2012 DFB-Pokal final, losing 5–2.[147]
Despite their disappointments in domestic competitions, Heynckes' Bayern had qualified for the2012 Champions League Final in April 2012, defeatingReal Madrid on penalty kicks in thesemi-finals.[148][149] In the final, held at the Allianz Arena,die Roten faced English clubChelsea. Despite controlling most of the match[150] and taking a 1–0 lead in the 83rd minute, Bayern lost the match 4–3 onpenalties.[151] This meant that Bayern had finished as runners-up in all three major competitions in which they had competed in2011–12.[152]
Bayern started the2012–13 season by defeating Borussia Dortmund 2–1 in theDFL-Supercup.[153] It was a significant result as the Bavarians had lost all three encounters withdie Schwarzgelben in the previous season, and the last five encounters between the clubs overall.[154] Bayern'sBundesliga campaign began with a record-breaking eight consecutive wins before they suffered their only league defeat of the season at Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern quickly regained form and went into the winter break nine points clear at the top of the table.[155]
On 16 January 2013, Bayern announced that former Barcelona coachPep Guardiola would replace Heynckes in July 2013.[155] General managerUli Hoeneß later stated that it was not Heynckes' decision to leave Bayern at the end of the season and was forced by the club's wish to appoint Guardiola.[156] Though the club's press release announcing Bayern's agreement with Guardiola had claimed Heynckes would be retiring on the expiration of his contract,[157] he stated he would not make a decision on his future until the end of the season.[158]
After returning from the winter break, Bayern only dropped two points in the entire second half of the Bundesliga season, winning 14 consecutive matches from January onwards and being confirmed aschampions on 6 April 2013.[159] This was the earliest a team had ever won the Bundesliga, and Bayern brokeseveral other records during the season including; most points in a season (91), highest league winning points margin (25), most wins in a season (29), longest winning streak in a season (14), most clean sheets in a season (21), best goal difference in a season (+80) and fewest goals conceded in a season (18).
