Guy Hellers (born 10 October 1964) is a Luxembourgian football manager and retired footballer.

He was the head coach of the Luxembourg national team, having succeeded Dane Allan Simonsen in 2004.

In 2010, Hellers resigned as Luxembourg coach and was succeeded by Luc Holtz.

Club career

Arguably Luxembourg's most successful player, Hellers shortly played for FC Metz but he spent the majority of his career at Standard Liège, where has been captain. He played 458 matches in total for them, scoring 37 goals. He was surprisingly dismissed by then manager Tomislav Ivic in September 1999 after some verbal clashes between coach and squad.

International career

Hellers made his debut for Luxembourg in an October 1982 European Championship qualification match against Greece and went on to earn 55 caps, scoring 2 goals. He played in 27 FIFA World Cup qualification matches. His final international game was an October 1997 World Cup qualification match against Cyprus.

He scored the only goal in the upset match against the Czech Republic in 1995.
