TSV 1860 Munich II (German:TSV 1860 München II) is thereserve team of German football clubTSV 1860 Munich, based inMunich,Bavaria. The side competed asTSV 1860 München Amateure until 2005. It competes in the fifth-tierBayernliga Süd. Within the club structure it functions as an under-21 squad, bridging the pathway from youth football to the first team.
As a second team it takes part in theGerman league pyramid in its own right and is eligible for promotion as high as the3. Liga, subject toreserve-team regulations and the prohibition on playing in the same division as the senior side. The team's remit is player development, providing competitive senior football for academy graduates and over-age returnees, and supplying match practice to first-team squad members recovering from injury.
1860's amateur team first won promotion to Bavarias highest football league, then the tier-threeAmateurliga Südbayern, in 1959, when it took out the title in the2. Amateurliga Oberbayern and then won the Oberbayern final against FSV Pfaffenhofen.[1] The Amateurliga Südbayern was then one of two leagues at this level in Bavaria, covering the southern half of the state while theAmateurliga Nordbayern existed in parallel in the north.
TSV 1860 München Amateure, as the team was then known as, was the third reserve side to reach this level in Bavaria, pre-dated only by1. FC Nuremberg II andFC Bayern Munich II.
The team finished an excellent second in its first year in the third division, five points behindTSV Schwaben Augsburg.[2] The following season, 1960–61, the team won its league, with Bayern Munich's reserve side coming second. 1860's amateur side was however ineligible for promotion as reserve teams could not rise above third division level. The team also declined participation in the Bavarian championship finals against northern champions1. FC Haßfurt as nine players had left the side already to join other clubs.[3]
With this loss, the team was uncompetitive the following season, finishing fourteenth in the league and narrowly avoiding relegation.[4] With the reorganisation of theGerman football league system in 1963, it became part of the new tier-fourLandesliga Bayern-Süd after finishing fifteenth in the league when a top-seven finish was needed.[5]
In its first season in the Landesliga, 1860 narrowly avoided relegation to the Bezirksliga, finishing twelfth in the league.[6] It turned fortunes around the following season, coming second behindSpVgg Kaufbeuren, but only the champion of the league was promoted in this era.[7] Another runners-up finish followed in 1967, this time to FC Bayern Munich II.[8]
The team finished in mid-field in the following years but suffered another relegation in 1971, now to the tier-five Bezirksliga.[9] The team's decline went in line with the club's first team's relegation from theBundesliga in 1970.
1860 Amateure returned to the Landesliga in 1973 and earned another runners-up finish in its first year back.[10] In 1976, the team once more was relegated to the Bezirksliga.[11]
The team once more returned from the Bezirksliga in 1980 and finished as runners-up in the Landesliga in 1981-82. Since 1981, the Landesliga runners-up were entitled to participate in a Bayernliga promotion round, but the1860 club itself was struck by disaster and its reserve team was withdrawn instead.[12] What happened was that TSV 1860 had its2. Bundesliga licence revoked and was forcefully relegated to the tier-threeAmateur Oberliga Bayern, theBayernliga.
The team started its road to recovery when it won the tier-six Bezirksliga Oberbayern-Süd in 1990, to earn promotion to theBezirksoberliga Oberbayern.[13] The team missed out on another promotion the following year, when it came equal second in the Bezirksoberliga but lost a decider to FC Miesbach.[14] It took until 1995 for the side to return for another attempt at promotion, when a second-place finish meant a return to the Landesliga.[15]
Back in the Landesliga, the team won another promotion on first try, winning the league and moving up to the Bayernliga for the first time since 1963.[16]
There, 1860 won its fourth promotion in four years, taking out another league title and moving up to the tier-threeRegionalliga Süd.[17] The team spend the next four seasons in the Regionalliga, earning mid-table results in its first three seasons, but suffering relegation in 2001.
Three years in the Bayernliga followed, in which the team finished runners-up twice before taking out the title once more in 2004.[18]
Back in the Regionalliga, the side became a struggler against relegation. In 2005, the team, like all reserve sides of Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga teams, changed its name permanently from Amateure to Second team, becoming TSV 1860 München II. In case of 1860, the team had already carried that name during the first team's time in the Bayernliga.
With the establishment of the3. Liga in 2008, the Regionalliga slipped to fourth tier, but also lost most of its top teams to the new league. In 2008–09, the team performed much better, finishing sixth in the league.[19] The club enjoyed a very successful 2012–13 season, now in theRegionalliga Bayern, where it won the league championship and qualified for the play-offs to the3. Liga but missed out on promotion when it lost toSV Elversberg 3–4 on aggregate. The following two seasons the team finished third in the Regionalliga.[20]
Because the first team relegated to3. Liga and subsequently failed to pay the required license fee in June 2017, they relegated toRegionalliga Bayern and the reserve team, although finishing the 2016–17 season as second, relegated toBayernliga Süd, the fifth German football tier.
