Hermann Eppenhoff (19 May 1919 â 10 April 1992) was a German football player and manager.
The forward was a member of FC Schalke 04 squad, which won the German Championship in the years 1939, 1940 and 1942. He also won three caps with the Germany national team.
Later on he served as a manager for Borussia Dortmund, winning the German Championship in 1963 and also making it to the final of the DFB-Pokal in the same year. Two years later he won the 1964âÂÂ65 DFB-Pokal with Dortmund.
After switching to Meidericher SV he made it to the cup final once again in 1965âÂÂ66, where his team was defeated by Bayern Munich.
After several years at VfL Bochum, where he made the cup final yet again in 1967âÂÂ68, he eventually switched to VfB Stuttgart.
In May 1975, Eppenhoff signed a one year contract to coach Werder Bremen. Eppenhoff suffered a heart attack in late 1975 and the club terminated his contract and replaced him with Herbert Burdenski. Eppenhoff subsequently sued and the sides reached a settlement.
