Ottmar Hitzfeld born (12 january 1949) in Lorrach,Deutschland and he is one of Europe's most highly regarded and most successful senior coaches. He is one of only two men to guide two different clubs to UEFA Champions League glory (Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich).
He became Switzerland head coach on 1 July 2008, and after a bumpy settling-in period, led his team to a direct qualifying berth for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The former Germany amateur international, who appeared at the 1972 Olympic Games, is no stranger to Switzerland after spending spells with Basel (1971-75), Lugano (1978-80) and Lucerne (1980-83) in his playing days.
Ottmar Hitzfeld unterstützt seit Herbst 2009 das Sozialprojekt Wir helfen Afrika zur Football-Weltmeisterschaft 2010 in Südafrika.
Die Walliser Gemeinde Staldenried taufte ihr neues, auf über 2000 Metern Höhe gelegenes Stadion mit Kunstrasenfeld im Weiler Gspon in „Ottmar Hitzfeld Gspon Arena“.
