Ralf Minge

Ralf Minge (born 8 October 1960) is a German footballer former coach and player who works as sporting director of Dynamo Dresden.

A striker, Minge joined Dynamo Dresden in 1980, signing from TSG Gröditz, and spent the next eleven years with the club, winning two East German titles and four cups.

This event precipitated the club's temporary descent into amateur leagues, caused by severe financial misdealings by then-president Rolf-Jürgen Otto.

In 2000, he joined Bayer Leverkusen, taking over their reserve team before the appointment of Klaus Toppmöller saw Minge promoted to the role of assistant manager.

He returned to Dresden to study psychology, but his break from football was to be short-lived, as in January 2006, he reunited with Klaus Toppmöller, this time as assistant coach of the Georgia national team, while also managing the under-21s.
