}}

Peter Hyballa (born 5 December 1975) is a German professional football manager who most recently was the manager of South African Premiership club Sekhukhune United. He also served as manager at clubs in Germany, Namibia, Austria, the Netherlands, Poland, Denmark and Slovakia.

Before his career as a manager, Hyballa coached various youth teams in his native Germany, including the U19 sides of Arminia Bielefeld, VfL Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund.

In 2010, he took over as head coach of 2. Bundesliga club Alemannia Aachen. He then managed the Red Bull Salzburg reserves and Sturm Graz in Austria for two years. From 2014 to 2016, he was assistant and youth coach at Bayer Leverkusen. Hyballa was then appointed manager of NEC in 2016, where he quickly became known for his fanatical way of coaching, his controversial statements in interviews and behavior during matches. He moved to Slovakian club DAC Dunajská Streda in 2018, after being fired in NEC due to poor results. There, he had some success, leading the club to a second-place finish in 2019. Shorter spells with NAC Breda and Wisła Kraków followed, where he was dismissed after conflicts with management (in Poland with Jakub Blaszczykowski and Kazimierz Kmiecik). In May 2021, he became the head coach of Danish club Esbjerg fB, but resigned a few months later amid clashes with first-team players and reports of physical and mental abuse. Again, shorter stints followed at Türkgücü München and AS Trenčín, before returning to NAC Breda.

Early life

Hyballa was born in Bocholt, North Rhine-Westphalia to Yvonne and Hans-Joachim Hyballa. His mother is Dutch and hails from Rotterdam, and met his German father, a deacon, in Hamburg in 1971.{{cite news |last1=Blanco |first1=Yadran |title=NAC-coach Peter Hyballa: 'Mijn Duitse vader heeft van Rotterdam gehouden' |url=https://www.bndestem.nl/nac/nac-coach-peter-hyballa-mijn-duitse-vader-heeft-van-rotterdam-gehouden~a804c828/ |work=BN DeStem |date=4 March 2020 |language=nl}}

Managerial career

=Early career=

In his first coaching positions, Hyballa was initially in charge of youth teams, for example at his hometown clubs Borussia Bocholt and 1. FC Bocholt, where he coached the U17s for two years. In 1998 he was discovered by Preußen Münster, where he became responsible for the U17 for the next three years. In 2001, Hyballa moved from Münster to Arminia Bielefeld, where he took on the position of U19 youth coach. After a short stint from 2002 to 2003 at Namibian club Ramblers Windhoek, where had his first head coaching job, he returned to Germany.

From 2003 to 2007, Hyballa coached the U19s of VfL Wolfsburg and in 2007, he led the team to the final of the DFB U19 Cup, which was lost 1–2 to 1860 Munich.

In the summer of 2007, Hyballa took over the U19s from Borussia Dortmund. There, he won the 2008 Westphalia Cup, the 2009 West German title, finished runner-up of the 2009 DFB U19 Cup as well as runner-up to the 2008–09 Under 19 Bundesliga. The cup final was lost to the youth team of SC Freiburg on penalties, and in the final of the German U19 championship Hyballa's team was defeated by Thomas Tuchel's U19s from 1. FSV Mainz 05 with 1–2 the final score.

On 15 April 2010, Hyballa signed a two-year contract as head coach of Rot-Weiss Essen. After the club filed for bankruptcy on 4 June 2010,{{cite news |last1=Nühlen |first1=Fabrice |title=Heute vor zehn Jahren: Als RWE Insolvenz beantragen musste |url=https://www.reviersport.de/artikel/heute-vor-zehn-jahren-als-rwe-insolvenz-beantragen-musste/ |work=RevierSport online |date=4 June 2020 |language=de}} the contract was dissolved and Alemannia Aachen hired him as head coach of their 2.

From January 2012 to June 2012, Peter Hyballa was the coach of the Red Bull Salzburg reserves, where he was tasked with transitioning youth players to the first team.{{cite web |title=Peter Hyballa kommt zu den Juniors nach Salzburg |url=https://ecrbs.redbulls.com/soccer/salzburg/de/red-bull-salzburg-news-detail_8029.html |website=Red Bull Salzburg |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181207040635/https://ecrbs.redbulls.com/soccer/salzburg/de/red-bull-salzburg-news-detail_8029.html |archive-date=7 December 2018 |language=de |date=4 January 2012}}

For the 2012–13 season, Hyballa signed a two-year contract with Sturm Graz,{{cite web |title=Peter Hyballa ist neuer Sturm-trainer |url=https://www.sksturm.at/index.php?id=236&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=2627&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=33&cHash=3315269dfa |website=SK Sturm Graz |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120517030656/https://www.sksturm.at/index.php?id=236&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=2627&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=33&cHash=3315269dfa |archive-date=17 May 2012 |language=de |date=14 May 2012}} but was dismissed while in the race for a UEFA Europa League spot on 22 April 2013.{{cite news |title=Sturm Graz entlässt Trainer Peter Hyballa – sportal.de |url=http://www.sportal.de/sturm-graz-entlaesst-trainer-peter-hyballa-1-2013042226506000000 |work=sportal.de |date=22 April 2013 |language=de}}

For the final games of the 2013–14 season, Hyballa returned to Germany as Sascha Lewandowski's assistant coach at Bayer Leverkusen. Lewandowski had become caretaker coach after Sami Hyypiä was dismissed from as manager. Both signed a contract until the end of the season and achieved the goal of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.{{cite news |title=Peter Hyballa wird Co-Trainer bei Bayer Leverkusen |url=https://www.bundesliga.com/de/bundesliga/news/peter-hyballa-wird-co-trainer-bei-bayer-leverkusen.jsp |access-date=27 July 2021 |work=bundesliga.de – die offizielle Webseite der Bundesliga |language=de}} After the Bundesliga season was over, Hyballa stayed with Leverkusen in a new position; in June 2014 he signed a two-year contract as head coach of the Leverkusen U19s.{{cite web |title=Neuer U19-Trainer: Hyballa unterschreibt für zwei Jahre |url=http://www.bayer04.de/B04-DEU/de/_md_aktuell-dt.aspx?aktuell=aktuell-10340&guid=0-920FE473-6E45-4940-A760-643DBB7BB64F-575 |website=Bayer 04 Leverkusen |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304074940/http://www.bayer04.de/B04-DEU/de/_md_aktuell-dt.aspx?aktuell=aktuell-10340&guid=0-920FE473-6E45-4940-A760-643DBB7BB64F-575 |archive-date=4 March 2016 |language=de |date=3 June 2014}}

=NEC=

In May 2016, Eredivisie club NEC announced that Hyballa would become manager of the club from the summer, signing a two-year contract.{{cite news|title=NEC bevestigt aanstelling Duitse trainer Hyballa|url=http://www.nu.nl/sport/4261208/nec-bevestigt-aanstelling-duitse-trainer-hyballa.html|access-date=28 May 2017|work=NU.nl|date=13 May 2016|language=nl}}

Hyballa immediately stood out for his fanatical way of coaching, his controversial statements in interviews and behavior during matches.{{cite news |last1=Jakobs |first1=Geert-Jan |title=Jammer dat Hyballa langs de lijn karikatuur geworden is |url=https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/jammer-dat-hyballa-langs-de-lijn-karikatuur-geworden-is |work=Voetbal International |date=11 April 2017 |language=nl}} Hyballa managed to keep the team in mid-table during the first half of the season, but the team would experience a drop after the winter break. Despite this, the club hinted at a contract extension, praising Hyballa's handling of players, personality and drive.{{cite news |last1=Jakobs |first1=Geert-Jan |title=NEC wil door met gedreven Hyballa en De Kruijff |url=https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/nec-wil-door-met-gedreven-hyballa-en-de-kruijff |work=Voetbal International |date=21 March 2017 |language=nl}} After the team ended up in the relegation zone after successive defeats, the board offered to place a more experienced manager alongside him in April 2017. Hyballa declined the offer, which he saw as "panic football".{{cite news |title=Hyballa hoeft geen hulp op de bank: 'Dat is paniekvoetbal' |url=https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/hyballa-hoeft-geen-hulp-op-de-bank-dat-is-paniekvoetbal |work=Voetbal International |date=10 April 2017 |language=nl}}{{cite news |title=Hyballa weigert klankbord: "Verandering staf is paniekvoetbal" |url=https://www.fcupdate.nl/voetbalnieuws/314521/hyballa-weigert-klankbord-verandering-staf-is-paniekvoetbal/ |work=FCUpdate.nl |date=10 April 2021 |language=nl}} On 22 April, after a defeat against Excelsior, the team were met by angry fans. Hyballa addressed the fans on behalf of the club and managed to turn the situation around.{{cite news |last1=Bont |first1=Stef de |title=Crisismanager Hyballa: 'Ik geef niet op, nooit' |url=https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/crisismanager-hyballa-ik-geef-niet-op-nooit |work=Voetbal International |date=22 April 2017 |language=nl}}

Two days later, on 24 April 2017, he was dismissed, two matches prior to the end of the competition, due to poor results and imminent relegation.{{cite news|title=Hyballa nicht länger Trainer in Nijmegen|url=https://www.kicker.de/hyballa-nicht-laenger-trainer-in-nijmegen-676425/artikel|access-date=28 May 2017|work=kicker Online|date=24 April 2017|language=de}}

=DAC Dunajská Streda=

The German Football Association announced in May 2018 that Hyballa would become a teacher at the German coaching course. However, he broke the contract in July 2018, after he was appointed head coach of Slovak Super Liga club DAC Dunajská Streda. He managed to lead the club to a position as runner-up in the 2018–19 season – their highest finish in 16 years.

There he was fired in January 2020 due to disagreements over a contract extension.{{cite news |last1=Zwart |first1=Pieter |title=Hyballa zoekt nieuwe club na ontslag: 'Ik ben geen vakantieman' |url=https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/hyballa-zoekt-nieuwe-club-na-ontslag-ik-ben-geen-vakantieman |work=Voetbal International |date=5 January 2020 |language=nl}}
