Sepp Piontek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sepp (Josef) Piontek (born March 5, 1940 in Breslau) is a German football manager and former player.
He started his career with VfL Germania Leer. Between 1963 and 1972 Piontek played 203 Bundesliga matches for SV Werder Bremen and 6 matches for the West German national team. After retiring he became manager for SV Werder Bremen, and later Fortuna Düsseldorf and FC St. Pauli.
In 1979 he became Danish national team coach after having previously managed Haiti. He sat through 115 international matches, leading Denmark to their first ever World Cup participation in the 1986 tournament. His period as national team coach came just after the introduction of professional players in the national team, and under his reign the Denmark team became known as "Danish Dynamite". He quit as Denmark coach in 1990, and Piontek later coached Turkey and Silkeborg IF, and even worked with the Greenland national team. He currently earns a living as a lecturer.
