Frank Schmidt, entrenador legendario de Heidenheim, con su equipo celebrandoFrank Schmidt, leyenda y milagro en Heidenheim, llevó al club de la quinta a la Bundesliga.

Frank Schmidt, el arquitecto que llevó a Heidenheim de la quinta división a la Bundesliga y a competiciones europeas, sigue fascinando. ¿Cómo logró tal hazaña? Para mí, su discreta genialidad supera a la de muchos entrenadores de élite.

Not only was Schmidt born in Heidenheim, he even finished his modest playing career as captain of his hometown club, helping them climb into the Oberliga in the first of his four seasons as skipper. A few months after hanging up his boots, in September 2007, former boss Dieter Märkle was relieved of his duties and Schmidt was named interim head coach – initally as a two-week stopgap.

Almost 20 years later, the Heidenheim supremo is the longest-serving manager in German professional football history, having officially surpassed Volker Finke on the ladder on 17 September 2023 – exactly 16 years to the day from when he took charge. He oversaw his 700th game at the helm against Wolfsburg on Matchday 27 of the 2024/25 season and will be just shy of 800 matches by the time he finally calls time on his coaching career at the end of the 2026/27 campaign.
