A German footballer and manager who played for several clubs, including Bayern Munich, and later coached teams like Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, winning multiple championships. He's known for his attacking style of play and success in European competitions.
Hoene's club career was mainly associated with Bayern Munich, where he won three Bundesliga titles and three European Cups. During his eight-and-a-half-year stint with Bayern, he made an immediate impact, scoring six times in 31 matches in his debut season. His impressive performance in the 1973-74 European Cup final replay against Atletico Madrid, where he scored two goals in a 4-0 victory, is still remembered by fans.
Hoene's career was not without its challenges, however. In the 1975 European Cup final against Leeds United, he suffered a brutal foul by Frank Gray, which resulted in a serious knee injury. Despite efforts to recover, Hoene was forced to retire at the early age of 27, after appearing in 250 matches.
After retiring from football, Hoene transitioned into a successful executive career, serving as Bayern Munich's general manager and later as the club's president from 2009 to 2014 and again from 2016 to 2019. During his tenure, the club experienced significant success, including multiple league and cup titles.
In 2014, Hoene pleaded guilty to tax evasion and served 18 months in prison. This controversy notwithstanding, Hoene's contributions to Bayern Munich and German football as a whole have cemented his legacy as one of the most influential figures in the sport.
Hoene was born on January 5, 1952, in Ulm, Württemberg-Baden. He attended the Hans-Multscher-Grundschule and later the Schubarth-Gymnasium, both located in Ulm.
Uli Hoene's dedication to football, both as a player and executive, has left an indelible mark on the sport. His achievements on and off the field have inspired generations of footballers, and his stewardship of Bayern Munich has helped shape the club into the powerhouse it is today.
