Managerial career

edit

Early career

edit

In 1999, he started coaching career. Oenning worked as coach employed by Württemberg Football Association, from 1999 until 2004. In 2000, he joined the coaching staff of the German U-18 and U-20 selections, where he was an assistant.

In 2004, he was named an assistant manager to Dick Advocaat in Borussia Mönchengladbach.[3] Oenning worked there until 2005, when he joined Holger Fach and later Klaus Augenthaler in Wolfsburg, also as an assistant.[3] After two seasons, in 2007, Oenning joined VfL Bochum, as their youth coach.[3] During one season, he was working with U-19 selection. Few months after he took a position of Bochum's youth coach, he was sacked.

Nürnberg and Hamburg

edit

He wasn't unemployed for long, because he joined Thomas von Heesen in February 2008, as his assistant in 1. FC Nürnberg.[3]

Von Heesen and Oenning were working together until 28 August 2008, when Von Heesen got sacked and Oenning replaced him.[4] This was his first experience as head coach. After a slow start in 2. Bundesliga, Oenning was able to guide Nürnberg to a third-place finish and a playoff with 16th place Energie Cottbus. Nürnberg won the playoff 5–0 on aggregate and plays in the Bundesliga since 2009. On 21 December 2009, Oenning was sacked.[5]

Hamburger SV named him an assistant to Armin Veh prior to the 2010–11 Bundesliga season.[3] But after Veh got fired, Oenning became the new head coach.[6] He signed a two-year contract, until June 2013.[7] After a poor start in 2011–12 season that saw Hamburg in last place with only one point out of six games, Oenning was sacked.[8]

Vasas

edit

On 2 January 2016 Oenning was appointed as the manager of Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Vasas SC.[9]

In the 2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season Vasas finished 10th and preserved their first league membership, therefore Oenning's contract was prolonged.[10]

In the 2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season Vasas started with 2 consecutive victories. The team beat MTK Budapest[11] away and Debreceni VSC at home.[12]

Magdeburg

edit

He was appointed as the head coach of 1. FC Magdeburg on 14 November 2018.[13] He left Magdeburg after the season.[14]

Újpest

edit

On 23 December 2020 he was appointed as the manager of Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Újpest FC.[15] Oenning won the 2020–21 Magyar Kupa season with Újpest FC by beating Fehérvár FC in the 2021 Magyar Kupa Final at the Puskás Aréna. Although Oenning produced the best results during his career, he was dismissed on 31 December 2021 due to unsatisfactory results.[16] A couple of weeks later, he was replaced by Serbian Miloš Kruščić.
