[edit] Coaching career
Funkel coached Eintracht Frankfurt from 2004–09. He was subsequently released from his contract on 1 July 2009.[4] He led the club into the Bundesliga in his first season in charge.[5] One year later, he and the team avoided relegation and surprisingly reached the German Cup final, which eventually sent them to the UEFA Cup.
Tied with Erich Ribbeck, Funkel holds the record for the longest tenure at Eintracht, with five full seasons. On 3 October 2009, Hertha BSC introduced Funkel as their new head coach after having fired Lucien Favre.[6] After Hertha was relegated, Funkel and the club mutually agreed to not extend his contract.[7]
On 22 May 2010, he was named new coach of VfL Bochum. He got sacked on 14 September 2011. On 20 September 2011, Funkel took over the job as manager of Alemannia Aachen.
[edit] Personal life
Funkel has two children. He is the older brother of Wolfgang Funkel.
