Coaching career

edit

Herrlich received his coaching license in 2005 and began coaching the youth team of Borussia Dortmund. He also became the German spokesman for the 2006 INAS World Football Championships.

In July 2007, he was appointed as coach of the Germany U-17 team and won third place at the 2007 FIFA Under-17 World Cup in South Korea.[4] On 27 October 2009, he was released from the German Football Association.[5] He became later the head coach of VfL Bochum between 27 October 2009 and 29 April 2010.[6] He finished with a record of four wins, eight draws, and 10 losses.[6]

At the beginning of the 2011–12 season, he was named new manager of SpVgg Unterhaching.[7] He left the club on 25 May 2012 for personal reasons.[8] He finished with a record of 13 wins, eight draws, and 19 losses.[7]

On 21 June 2013, he became the manager for the Bayern Munich U-17 team.[9] In June 2015, Bayern Munich restructured their youth department and Herrlich left Munich.[10]
