Decades, he shaped the thoughts and playful training tool especially in qualitative youth training. His superb basic idea of ​​the " play - and competition- oriented " way of practice, away from abstract, constructed exercise templates, away from stubborn and cheerless drilling, towards a game has encrusted structures pushed to the side. Enthusiasm must be driving so open-minded and ready Contribute guarantee a quick teaching and learning success already in the learning process as in training.

Bundesliga coach at FC Cologne 1

The "Master Trainer" Hennes Weisweiler left after five league games without a victory on 15 April 1980 the 1st FC Cologne. This was preceded on 12 April 1980, as the 28th match day, the 0-1 defeat at Hertha BSC after an own goal by Bernd Schuster in 73 minutes. The " Billy Goats " were on the 4th place with 32:24 points and had lost the direct contact of the front runners Hamburger SV and FC Bayern Munich, each with 40:16 points so. The already considerable time to himself, smoldering conflict with the President Peter Weiand, parts of the team and the Cologne media landscape therefore started Hennes Weisweiler, which for some time already present, handsomely rewarded offer to accept from the New York Cosmos and cancel the tents in Germany. That was an important message to the media and was seen as a loss for football; that, however, as the successor of the coach stood by an immediate solution to the DFB coach Karl -Heinz Heddergott, surpassing even the media echo of the Weisweiler resignation.

The first game for the new Bundesliga coach was on April 26 at the 1st FC Kaiserslautern at the Betzenberg. Now the players have shown that they were capable of new enthusiasm after the "liberation " of the performance- inhibiting authority Weis hamlet, sponsored by the communicative gift of the new man at the Director console. But it was not a jerk by the team, there were 0-2 gates another defeat.

Decisive was the defeat in the DFB Cup final on June 4, 1980 against Fortuna Dusseldorf with 1:2 goals. After the 2-0 win at Schalke 04 in the semi-final on May 10 after goals from Pierre Littbarski and Tony Woodcock returned new courage and confidence in the cathedral city. It has now been set to the new beginning in the Round in 1980/81. Personnel of the good squad was still Spain repatriates Rainer Bonhof and the Swiss national team René Botteron reinforced with the. The squads were even without the two new additions to several International: Schumacher, Cullmann, Konopka, carpenter, shoemaker, Neumann, Dieter Müller, Woodcock, Okudera.

The KICKER wrote in his special issue for season 1980 /81 on the situation at the 1 FC Cologne:

However, the season started badly for the 1st FC Cologne. Even after 8 Round came the end for Heddergott. With 7:9 points and 15:18 gates on the 12th place standing, the Bundesliga as a trainer at the 1 FC Cologne was over for him. The pros could not do anything with the " esthete " and especially as a " theorist " maligned Heddergott, even using it as an excuse for their unsatisfactory performance and verbal gaffes. After just five games left Bernd Schuster the club.

Its successor, the former successful coach of Ajax Amsterdam, Rinus Michels, celebrated its inauguration in Kaiserslautern. The team showed in the 1:5 defeat the Dutchman thereby instantly fickle motivation.

The Bundesliga activity of Karl -Heinz Heddergott but was then discontinued and "the master of teaching" was lost immediately for German football. Taking the ongoing expert analysis seriously that young people "playing in the street / lawn " is missing, as is the approach of Heddergott with the postulate " the frequency of the player with competitive situations of conflict " leads to proper competition behavior, even today, or just today, fully concur. This does not change his hapless activity at the 1 FC Cologne nothing.
