Jupp Heynckes – A Legend as Player, More Ambivalent as Coach: Heynckes worked at Borussia twice as a player and twice as a coach. As a player, after a better offer drew him to Hannover for a spell, he returned and became the club’s most prolific Bundesliga scorer with 195 goals. He won four titles, one DFB Cup and one UEFA Cup with Gladbach, plus the European Championship in 1972 and the World Cup in 1974 with Germany.\n\nAs a coach, he took over after Udo Lattek in 1979 and stayed eight years, reaching another UEFA Cup final and a DFB Cup final, but winning no silverware.
In 1987 he accepted Bayern’s offer, and Bayern became his second great footballing home. He returned to Gladbach in 2006, though that alliance ended abruptly after only six months.\n\nNone of that diminished his cult status on the Lower Rhine.
