July 13 ,1944 inBremerhaven ) is a former German football player and, now, coach.He began his career at Regionalliga North side TuS Bremerhaven 93 but quickly moved to the Bundesliga, playing the rest of his career at just two clubs:
Werder Bremen andVfB Stuttgart as a defender. Although a rare goalscorer, he managed to score the 10,000th Bundesliga goal when he netted forVfB Stuttgart againstEintracht Frankfurt on January 26, 1974. He played one final season in the 2. Bundesliga after VfB Stuttgart suffered relegation before retiring in 1976, aged 31.Coordes entered coaching with
OSC Bremerhaven in the Regionalliga North and worked his way through to the post of assistant coach atBayern Munich by 1984. He stepped up to being head coach at his former clubVfB Stuttgart in 1986, but lasted just one season as the team finished a disappointing 12th. He returned to his old post at Bayern Munich, before again trying his hand as head coach ofHamburg SV in March 1992, but again fared poorly and was sacked after just six months.This was the cue for Coordes to try his luck abroad as he moved to the
UAE with Al-Ahli before returning to Europe withAustria Vienna . After a year with the Austrian high-flyers, he headed back to his native land with 2. Bundesliga sideHannover 96 . Again, he struggled with German management as the club plunged into the Regionalliga for the first time in their history and Coordes was promptly sacked. After a spell back asBayern Munich assistant coach, he moved to Switzerland for a season withFC Lucerne before again heading out to the Middle East as the Iranian under-23 coach and later at Al-Khaleej of theUAE . Following a single season there, he again moved to Austria with amateur side FC Gatt, before again returning to work forBayern Munich .
