Former HSV head coach Egon Coordes is dead. He died on June 17 at the age of 80 after a long illness in his house in Memmingen, as his family of the German press agency confirmed. First the “kicker” had reported.
Coordes took over Hamburger SV in March 1992, in the middle of the relegation battle on the 28th matchday. After successful years as an assistant coach at Bayern Munich, he was supposed to exist on the sidelines in Hamburg as a boss in Hamburg.
With 10:10 points-at that time the two-point rule was still in the Bundesliga-the native of Bremerhaven secured the relegation with the HSV. But the start of the 1992/93 season failed: After seven games without a win, Egon Coordes had to leave Hamburg in September after only 193 days in office.
He then worked for a season at Al-Ali in the United Arab Emirates, Austria Vienna (Austria) and Hannover 96. In 1997 Giovanni brought Trappatoni Egon Coordes back to Bayern: He worked in different roles at the record champion until 2021, including as a U19 coach, scout and game analyst.
He ran for Hamburger SV 138 times and scored 49 goals. In particular, his goal in the relegation in 2014 should be remembered forever: This saved the HSV from the first Bundesliga descent. Now the Hanseatic Hanseate hero has declared his active professional career over after around 15 years.
“What a way,” wrote Lasogga on Instagram: “As a young boy, I had the dream of playing in front of thousands of fans in big stadiums – and I was able to experience that. I am incredibly grateful for this trip.”
The massive center forward certainly drew attention to himself at the HSV. In 2019, the 33-year-old today moved to Al-Arabi in Qatar. In 2023 Lasogga, who took his first steps as a professional for Hertha BSC, returned to Germany to the reserve of FC Schalke 04. There, the Gladbeck native was even used again in the season’s sprint. “Thanks to all clubs whose jersey I was allowed to wear – I always gave everything and fully identified myself with you,” said Lasogga.
It is also apparently already certain how things go for him. According to the “Bild”, Lasogga will be the co-coach of the U23 of FC Schalke 04 for the coming season.
After four years, Ludovit Reis apparently leaves Hamburger SV and joins FC Bruges from Belgium. The association, which has qualified for the Champions League, is to transfer around six million euros to the HSV, it said of transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri.
Officially, both clubs have not yet commented on the transfer. The HSV would have to pass 25 percent of the transfer fee to FC Barcelona – this had been agreed when traveling to Hamburg in the summer of 2021.
