Fritz Korbach
Fritz Korbach (18 July 1945 – 14 August 2011) was a German professional football player and manager. He was particularly well known in the Netherlands, where he served eleven different teams, including FC Wageningen, FC Zwolle, FC Volendam, FC Twente, SC Cambuur, Go Ahead Eagles, SC Heerenveen, De Graafschap, Heracles Almelo, Sparta Rotterdam (where his management spell famously lasted only two days), Rohda Raalte and Harkemase Boys.
As a player, Korbach was active for Dutch amateur clubs ZSC Patria and SV Baarn.
In 1970, Korbach was appointed assistant to Bert Jacobs at the newly formed club FC Utrecht. Prior to that, he had been co-trainer with the predecessor USV Elinkwijk, as assistant of Evert Mur.
The football instructor had his first post as manager at the FC Wageningen, At the end of his first season, he led Wageningen in winning the playoffs and securing promotion to the Eredivisie. Wageningen's first season ever in the Eredivisie was not successful; the club relegated in 1975.
On 1 February 1977, it was announced that Korbach would start as PEC Zwolle's new manager. Given his experience at both Dutch tiers, and his ideas on scouting and youth programs, he was the most fit of the twelve candidates.
After one of the first matches in the 1977–78 season, Korbach attracted the anger of Heracles Almelo-coach Hennie Hollink, who threw a glass of lemonade in the face of Korbach, and slapped Korbach's face afterwards. They reconciled a few days later. After this incident, Korbach's team (with Rinus Israel Uri Banhoffer and Ron Jans), became the champion of the Eerste Divisie and promoted to the Eredivisie. In its debut in the highest class of the Netherlands the team reached the eighth place.
Korbach kept the club regularly safe from the relegation (with a 2–1 win against Feyenoord in his last season), before he signed at FC Volendam for the 1982–83 season. During his time at PEC Zwolle, Ajax wanted to contract Korbach. However, when the Amsterdam board consulted with then-PEC Zwolle chairman Jan Wiersma, Korbach stormed the boardroom, asking 'at what time the fucking would start.' After that, Korbach never heard anything again from Ajax.
With Volendam his goal was to promote from the Eerste Divisie. Under Korbach, the tall defender Kees Guyt became a forwarder, thus scoring eleven goals. Frank Kramer returned to the club and became the top scorer of Volendam with 14 goals. With a 0–2 victory in the last match against FC VVV the team secured a second place behind DS'79 in the league, and Korbach's goal was achieved.
