Career as Player

As player Heynckes played 385 matches in the German Bundesliga, scoring 220 goals. This makes him the third most successful striker in this league, after the Gerd Müller (365 goals) and Klaus Fischer (268 goals).

He started his playing career in 1964 with Borussia Mönchengladbach in the second division. In 1965 the club was promoted to the Bundesliga. Heynckes stayed on for two more years and then left for Hannover 96, where he spent three years.

He returned to Mönchengladbach in 1970, and stayed there until the end of his career in 1978. In this period he won four championships (1971, 1975, 1976 and 1977), the national cup in 1973 and the UEFA Cup in 1975.

With 51 goals he is also the third most prolific striker in the history of European club competitions, behind Gerd Müller (65) and Eusébio (57), and before Alfredo Di Stéfano (49). In his 64 matches he achieved a remarkable average of 0.80 goals.

National team

Heynckes also played 39 times for the German national team and scored 14 times. He won the European Championship of 1972 with Germany, where he took part in the final at the 3-0 victory against the USSR. He was also part of the squad that won the 1974 FIFA World Cup in Germany, but he played only one half during the tournament.

Career as Coach

After his playing career he stayed on with Borussia Mönchengladbach and served the club for eight more years as coach, succeeding Udo Lattek in this position.

Between 1987 and 1991 he coached Bayern Munich. In this period he achieved two German championships with the club (1989 and 1990).

After moving to Eintracht Frankfurt in 1994-95 he suspended Anthony Yeboah, Jay-Jay Okocha and Maurizio Gaudino which led the "Eagles" to a subsequent relegation. Still Heynckes is considered the worst Eintracht managers in club's history. After the tenure he moved to CD Tenerife, Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid (1997-98). There he celebrated his greatest triumph, when he returned in 1998 after a 32-year dry spell the Champions League trophy to Madrid. However, the lack of domestic success saw his tenure terminated by the end of that season. He then joined SL Benfica before returning to Athletic Bilbao.

Heynckes made a comeback in the Bundesliga when he took over Schalke 04 at the beginning of the 2003/04 season. His contract there was cut short in September 2004.

In May 2006, he was announced as the new coach of Borussia Mönchengladbach. On 31 January 2007 he retired after fourteen consecutive Bundesliga matches without win and Borussia dropping to 17th place in the table.
