Jupp Heynckes is a German football manager and former player. Born in 1945, Heynckes enjoyed a successful playing career, primarily as a striker, notably for Borussia Mönchengladbach and Hannover 96. He was part of the West Germany squad that won the 1974 FIFA World Cup and the 1972 UEFA European Championship.

As a manager, Heynckes is renowned for his long and distinguished career. He managed several prominent clubs, including Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bayern Munich, and Bayer Leverkusen. His managerial philosophy often emphasized disciplined tactics, strong defensive organization, and effective attacking play.

Heynckes is particularly celebrated for his achievements with Bayern Munich. He led the club to unprecedented success, most notably winning the treble in the 2012-2013 season, securing the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and the UEFA Champions League. This achievement cemented his legacy as one of the most successful managers in Bayern's history. He also had multiple stints as interim manager for the German national team.

After retiring from management following his treble-winning season with Bayern, Heynckes returned for a final spell at the club during the 2017-2018 season, again leading them to a Bundesliga title before retiring permanently. His career is marked by consistency and a deep understanding of the game.
