The last regent of Giesing
Werner Lorant had fallen out of time in his heyday. A paradox in the life of football crazy. But of course not the only one. Otherwise, it is hardly possible to become one of these few performers in the Bundesliga to whom fans and journalists hang the « original » predicate. Lorant was the sausage and he cultivated his reputation all the more. The reputation of the one who was called completely logically Werner Beinhart. Because he went as a player where it hurt. But also where he hurt.
Lorant, however, was not a humorless butcher who exchanged the apron in the field of jersey. The midfielder had a soft spot for the beautiful in the game. With the Frankfurt Eintracht he won the UEFA Cup and the DFB Cup, scoring 46 goals in 325 Bundesliga games. One who knew about his qualities and brought them uncompromisingly. A recipe for success that the coach repeated.
Werner Lorant was best in the province
Lorant didn’t fit into life and lifetime Bavaria. Nevertheless, he never felt more comfortable anywhere. With his players from TSV 1860 Munich he only allowed brilliant border guards freedom. Abedi Pele about or Thomas Häßler. The rest had to play in. Year after year, Lorant formed a team that was quite good on being recognized as a kicking envoy of the Giesing workers. Uncerned. Only Karl-Heinz Wildmoser was admitted by Lorant every now and then to have a view that deviates from his opinion. Of course, this did not prevent the trainer from telling fans and reporters creaking after training in the Löwen-Stüberl, which is why the President actually had no idea at all. Always host Christl in the background – it was the golden time of the lions. It ended with Lorant’s dismissal. Wildmoser were no longer good enough in the midfield of the Bundesliga. The club overturned at the Allianz Arena and made a descent as only overestimating traditional clubs manage.
Lorant pursued the events of Waging. There he had found his retirement seat. After his lion period, he was tied by Cyprus, Turkey, South Korea and Iran-but he never became as happy as in the Bavarian province. As a regent of Giesing, he taught great FC Bayern fear. Previously, he had already shown in Heidingsfeld, Schweinfurt and Aschaffenburg that he was best when he was able to grant his player, either described his players as blind, idiots or amateurs. Lorant was hard and hard with others. That is why the lions loved him. That too: paradoxical. On Easter Sunday, Lorant died at the age of 76 after a serious illness.
