Hans-Dieter "Hansi" Flick (born 24 February 1965) is a German football manager and former player. From August 2006 to July 2014, he was the assistant coach of the German national football team under head coach Joachim Löw.

Playing career

As a player, he was a midfielder who played 104 matches for Bayern Munich and scored five goals between 1985 and 1990.[1] He later played 44 matches for Köln before retiring in 1993. He never played for the German national team.

Coaching career

After retiring as a player, Flick coached third division side 1899 Hoffenheim for five years before he was sacked in 2005. He then worked as an assistant at Red Bull Salzburg. He was named the assistant coach for Germany on 23 August 2006. Although he is not listed as an officially recognized head coach by the DFB, due to the sending off of Joachim Löw in the previous game Flick was technically the German head coach for the UEFA Euro 2008 quarter final against Portugal on 19 June 2008, which ended with a 3–2 win for Germany. After third place at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he reached the semi-finals at the UEFA Euro 2012 and won the 2014 FIFA World Cup as assistant coach with Germany. He became sporting director at the German Football Association after the 2014 World Cup until 16 January 2017.[2][3]
