Manfred Kaltz (born 6 January 1953) is a German former football player and manager, who played as a right-back.

He returned to Hamburg the season after, the consequence of the relegation of FC Mulhouse from Ligue 1 at the end of 1989–90.

Previously, Kaltz was forced to leave Hamburg, the club for which he had been a professional since the 1971–72 season, after the authorities (i.e. Erich Ribbeck) had decided not to go on with the contract of the long-serving full-back.

Their successors lured him back from France in September 1990 to give him the chance to serve his final year as a player at his old club.

An expert in penalties, the Hamburg fan-favourite scored 53 of his 76 goals from the spot, a record in the Bundesliga.
