Herbert Burdenski

Herbert "Budde" Burdenski (19 May 1922 – 15 September 2001), was a German football player and coach.

In 1935 he was discovered playing in the local school championships by Ernst Kuzorra, who signed him to FC Schalke 04.

Up to his death, Burdenski remained connected to FC Schalke, mainly to advise the supervisory board and presidency.

As a manager in Bundesliga in the 1960s and 1970s, it came to happen that SV Werder Bremen brought the two Burdenski's together for the season of 1975–76.

In February 1976, Werder, lying in a precarious position in the bottom-half of Bundesliga then, sacked Herbert to replace him with Otto Rehhagel.
