Ewald Lienen (born 28 November 1953) is a German former football player and current manager of FC St. Pauli. ==Playing career== Lienen began his professional career at Arminia Bielefeld of the 2. Bundesliga North in 1974. After three seasons, he moved up to the top flight with Borussia Mönchengladbach. The club had just won three successive titles, but Lienen did not manage to achieve this as the team finished runners-up in his first season then failed to mount a title challenge in the subsequent years. However, Europe was to prove a more successful venture as the club's runners-up finish of 1977–78 qualified them for the UEFA Cup. This, they duly lifted beating Red Star Belgrade 2–1 on aggregate in the final in May 1979. Lienen played in the final, and in each of the previous rounds, scoring two goals along the way (against Manchester City and future club MSV Duisburg). As holders, they were entered into the following seasons tournament, where Lienen again would make it through to the UEFA Cup final. This time, he was not to capture the prize as the team frustratingly lost on away goals to countrymen Eintracht Frankfurt. Lienen again played in all rounds of the trophy and again chipped in with two goals (against Viking and Saint Étienne). After a further season here, he returned to Arminia Bielefeld, newly promoted to the Bundesliga. The club managed to survive and stabilise as a top-flight team during Lienen's spell here in the early 1980s. On 14 August 1981, Lienen suffered a terrible injury, as Norbert Siegmann of Werder Bremen slit his thigh with his studs resulting in an open deep wound of 25 cm. In shock, despite his open leg Lienen ran after the coach of Werder Bremen, Otto Rehhagel, whom he blamed for the foul insisting that Rehhagel had incited Siegmann to play rough. The wound required 23 stitches, however, after just 17 days Lienen started practising again. After two seasons with Bielefeld, Lienen decided to move back to Borussia Mönchengladbach. Here, he and the team achieved a string of top four finishes but fell short of collecting a league title medal. He did, however, play in the 1984 DFB-Pokal final where he narrowly missed out as the team lost on penalties to Bayern Munich. In Summer 1987, Lienen left Borussia Mönchengladbach to set up a union for professional footballers in Duisburg, along with Benno Möhlmann and Frank Pagelsdorf. He also concentrated on studying for a football coaching license, which he achieved with an A grade in 1989. Meanwhile, he also continued his football career at MSV Duisburg of the Oberliga, winning promotion at the second attempt to the 2. Bundesliga in the 1989. He was a virtual ever-present here, winning promotion again to the top flight two years later and playing out a final year in the Bundesliga. When the club suffered relegation in May 1992, Lienen retired. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ewald Lienen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
