Managerial career

=Early career=

In 1999, he started coaching career. Oenning worked as coach employed by Württemberg Football Association, from 1999 until 2004. In 2000, he joined the coaching staff of the German U-18 and U-20 selections, where he was an assistant.

In 2004, he was named an assistant manager to Dick Advocaat in Borussia Mönchengladbach.{{cite web|title=Michael Oenning|url=http://www.worldfootball.net/player_summary/michael-oenning/|publisher=World Football|access-date=25 April 2014}} Oenning worked there until 2005, when he joined Holger Fach and later Klaus Augenthaler in Wolfsburg, also as an assistant. After two seasons, in 2007, Oenning joined VfL Bochum, as their youth coach. During one season, he was working with U-19 selection. Few months after he took a position of Bochum's youth coach, he was sacked.

=Nürnberg and Hamburg=

He wasn't unemployed for long, because he joined Thomas von Heesen in February 2008, as his assistant in 1. FC Nürnberg.

Von Heesen and Oenning were working together until 28 August 2008, when Von Heesen got sacked and Oenning replaced him.{{cite news|title=Von Heesen tritt zurück|url=https://www.kicker.de/von-heesen-tritt-zurueck-382363/artikel|access-date=25 April 2014|newspaper=kicker|date=28 August 2008|language=de}} This was his first experience as head coach. After a slow start in 2. Bundesliga, Oenning was able to guide Nürnberg to a third-place finish and a playoff with 16th place Energie Cottbus. Nürnberg won the playoff 5–0 on aggregate and plays in the Bundesliga since 2009. On 21 December 2009, Oenning was sacked.{{cite news|title=Kommt Hecking für Oenning?|url=https://www.kicker.de/kommt-hecking-fuer-oenning-518722/artikel|access-date=25 April 2014|newspaper=kicker|date=21 December 2009|language=de}}

Hamburger SV named him an assistant to Armin Veh prior to the 2010–11 Bundesliga season. But after Veh got fired, Oenning became the new head coach.{{cite news|title=HSV trennt sich von Veh – Oenning stützt Rost|url=https://www.kicker.de/hsv-trennt-sich-von-veh---oenning-stuetzt-rost-549777/artikel|access-date=25 April 2014|newspaper=kicker|date=14 March 2011|language=de}} He signed a two-year contract, until June 2013.{{cite news|title=Oenning bestätigt Vertrag bis 2013|url=https://www.kicker.de/oenning-bestaetigt-vertrag-bis-2013-551371/artikel|access-date=25 April 2014|newspaper=kicker|date=24 April 2011|language=de}} After a poor start in 2011–12 season that saw Hamburg in last place with only one point out of six games, Oenning was sacked.{{cite news|title=Aus für Michael Oenning!|url=https://www.kicker.de/aus-fuer-michael-oenning-558122/artikel|access-date=25 April 2014|newspaper=kicker|date=19 September 2011|language=de}}
