Holger Osieck
The title "Bundestrainer" has been in use since 1950 – prior to 1942 the role was titled "Reichstrainer" (Imperial Coach). Franz Beckenbauer and Rudi Völler could not be titled "Bundestrainer", due to a lack of coaching qualifications, so were titled "Teamchef" (Team Leader). Their assistants, Horst Köppel/Holger Osieck and Michael Skibbe respectively, were the official "Bundestrainer" during this time.
