Coaching career

edit

Bonner SC

edit

After a season as player-manager at VfB Süsterfeld, Hutwelker started his coaching career started at Bonner SC.[3] The club had previously relegated from the Regionalliga West due to financial problems. Hutwelker's predecessor was Wolfgang Jerat. The strained financial situation of the club meant that bankruptcy proceedings had to be opened in July 2010. The first team was thus also excluded from the NRW league and did not take part in any game operations in 2010–11. Hutwelker nevertheless agreed to help the club and became the new coach of the U-19, which, despite the bankruptcy proceedings, took part in the games of their league. There he initially worked without being paid and wanted to lay a foundation stone for the development of the club in the future and to build a framework of young players for future men's teams.[3] He was in charge for 12 games before leaving at the end of the year due to the still poor perspective.

Wattenscheid & Wuppertaler SV

edit

He then took charge of SG Wattenscheid 09's U19s i March 2011 until the summer, where he was appointed manager of Wuppertaler SV. However, it only lasted for 14 weeks. On 19 September 2011, the club announced that it had to part with Hutwelker due to the sporting situation.[3][4]
