'''Werner Fuchs''' (25 October 1948 – 11 May 1999) was a German [[association football|football]] player<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.kicker.de/werner-fuchs/spieler/bundesliga/1967-68/1-fc-kaiserslautern | title = Fuchs, Werner | language = de | publisher = [[Kicker (magazine)|Kicker]] | access-date = 18 May 2012}}</ref> and coach.

== Playing career ==
Fuchs was born in [[Kaiserslautern]]. A centre forward, he began his professional career in 1967 with a professional contract at [[1. FC Kaiserslautern]], where is older brother [[Fritz Fuchs|Fritz]] also played professionally. Werner Fuchs only appeared once in the first team against [[Eintracht Braunschweig]] on 10 February 1968, and would remain his only appearance in the [[Bundesliga]]. Although he did feature in another Bundesliga team, [[Hannover 96]] in 1972, he transferred to the regional league team [[SC Preußen Münster]] in that same season without making an appearance. He played on in Münster until his retirement in 1980.

== Coaching career ==
His greatest achievements came as a football manager. As trainer of [[Alemannia Aachen]], he enjoyed huge popularity among the citizens of [[Aachen]]. He was trainer there from 1984 to 1987, and then again from 1996 until his death in 1999. He took Alemannia Aachen back into the [[2. Bundesliga]], but was unable to continue his success as a few days before the final league game, which Aachen won to secure promotion, he collapsed during a walk in the woods with the team and died of a heart attack aged 50. He continues to be honoured by Aachen fans today, with signs in the stadium, for example.

== Tributes ==
On the tenth anniversary of Werner Fuchs' death, Alemannia Aachen announced that the new amateur stadium belonging to the also [[New Tivoli]] stadium would be named the "Werner-Fuchs-Stadion", following suggestions from fans.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.alemannia-aachen.de/archiv/nachrichten/details-profis/Zum-10-Todestag-Alemannia-benennt-Amateurstadion-nach-Werner-Fuchs-17635S/ | title = Zum 10.
