Hermann Neuberger (12 December 1919 – 27 September 1992) was the seventh president of the German Football Association (Deutscher Fußball-Bund, DFB) from 1975 until his death in office in 1992.
Neuberger, son of two teachers, grew up in the Saarbrücken Malstatt workers district[1] and attended the Sasbach boarding school until graduating with Abitur in 1938.
He was then drafted to the Wehrmacht and was operational in Africa and Italy during the Second World War, where he was later Captain for the Generals in Rome.
After returning from British captivity in November 1945, he worked from 1946 as an editor at the Saarbrücken Sport-echo and from 1951 onwards in the advertising department of the Karlsberg brewery in Homburg.
The national team managers during his term were Helmut Schön (1964-1978), Jupp Derwall (1978-1984), Franz Beckenbauer (1984-1990) and Berti Vogts (1990-1998).
