Reiner Hollmann (born 30 September 1949) is a German former football player^[2] and now manager.

Before coming to Duisburg, Hollmann was in the youth section of Eintracht Duisburg. He played from 1970 to 1984 for Rot-Weiß Oberhausen and Eintracht Braunschweig in 350 games in the Bundesliga scoring 33 goals.^[3]

He took part in the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.^[4][5]

In 1977, Hollmann was playing for Bundesliga side Eintracht Braunschweig against 1. FC Kaiserslautern. When protesting against a penalty kick he thought it was not justified, the referee unintentionally knocked him unconscious, and Hollmann woke up in the ambulance.^[6]

After his playing career, Hollmann worked as a football coach. His greatest success as a coach was winning the Turkish Super Cup and the Turkish League with Galatasaray for the 1993–94 season. Further coaching positions were, amongst other clubs, 1. FC Saarbrücken, FC Carl Zeiss Jena and Al Ahly (Cairo).^[1]

For several years he has been in the United Arab Emirates where he has worked with Al Nasr, Al Shabab (Dubai) and Al Wahda (Abu Dhabi).^{[citation needed]}
