Martina Voss-Tecklenburg: Cheated by the teammate

BUNTE.de Martina Voss-Tecklenburg: Cheated by the teammate Katharina Hahn - 9 hrs ago All eyes were also on her at the 2022 Women's European Football Championship in England this year: Martina Voss-Tecklenburg (54) confidently led the German national team to the final, where the squad only narrowly lost to the English Lionesses in a duel. At the latest since Voss-Tecklenburg flickered so prominently across the television screens on the coaching bench, many people should be wondering how the blonde actually ticks. Martina Voss-Tecklenburg: Successful as a coach and player In any case, she seems to be a woman who knows exactly what she wants and strived to get exactly that from an early age. At the age of 15, the native of Duisburg played for her home club KBC Duisburg and won the DFB Cup with her club in 1983 and then the German championship in 1985. Five more league titles were to follow before Martina Voss-Tecklenburg retired in 2003, after 125 caps for the national team and 27 goals that went to her. Already in 2000 she put an end to her career in the national team - because of a woman. National coach Voss-Tecklenburg "never wants to live with a woman again" At that time she was in a relationship with Inka Grings, who played with her as a striker in the national team. But the Summer Olympics in Sydney in 2000 and a big argument during this time - Grings is said to have cheated on Voss-Tecklenburg - divided the couple. This experience seemed to leave a lasting impression on the woman who succeeded Horst Hrubesch as football coach in 2018. In an interview with Der Spiegel, she explained: "Today I know that I will never live with a woman again. I like men." Martina Voss-Tecklenburg proposed to her husband In fact, she also already has daughter Dina, who comes from a previous relationship with one and even gave her her first grandchild - a little girl - in March 2022. Martina Voss-Tecklenburg has been married to building contractor Hermann Tecklenburg (74) since 2009. The way this marriage came about also shows that she knows exactly what she wants. Her husband explained to BUNTE in relation to this: “Martina is refreshingly uninhibited. She is not so old-fashioned as to wait for the man to propose.” And that effort seems to have really paid off. In an interview with "Niederrhein Online", Voss-Tecklenburg chatted about how harmonious and yet varied things are in her marriage, because: "It's never boring with us. We can talk all day long: about politics, about books, about leadership styles and motivation, over serenity. That's what makes our love." Voss-Tecklenburg's husband raves about her coaching qualities Her husband is also likely to be the national coach's biggest fan. He also emphasized to BUNTE that his wife could easily train a male Bundesliga club. "Professionally anyway, but Martina also has the social intelligence and is good with people," says Hermann Tecklenburg. Actually, he wanted to fulfill a wish of his wife if he won the European Championship and buy his own finca on Mallorca as an "oasis of calm". "Martina has wanted a house there for years. But a house is binding. That's why I've always said no," he emphasized to "Bild". The win didn't work out, but fortunately Martina Voss-Tecklenburg is still under contract with the DFB until 2023 for the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Maybe the title will work out - and the finca!
