Juup Derwall, the former German national trainer, has died aged 80 after a short illness.
His biggest success was the European Championship win in 1980, and the World Cup second place in 1982.
German FA President Theo Zwanziger praised Derwall in a statement. “Juup Derwall had a huge part in Germany’s success in the 70’s and the 80’s. The FA and German football have lost a great trainer, who in his prime was a trainer of international repute.”
Derwall was assistant to Helmut Schön between 1970 and 1978, before taking over after the World Cup in Argentina. He won the 1980 European Championship in Italy and took Germany to the 1982 World Cup final in Spain.
Derwall became manager of Turkish side Galatasaray after his time with the national side.
