International career

Stielike's final appearance for his country took place against Argentina (3–1 loss) in September 1984 in Beckenbauer's first match in charge of West Germany. Over those years Stielike scored three goals, the last in a 3–2 win over Bulgaria in Varna in February 1984. Shortly afterwards he was named in Jupp Derwall's squad for the 1984 UEFA European Football Championship.
Style of play
Stielike usually played as a central midfielder, although he was also capable of playing as a sweeper. A combative and imposing player, he was well known for his stamina, positioning, commitment, and footballing intelligence, as well as his personality and forcefulness in midfield.[2][7]
Managerial career
Early career
After his retirement from his playing career, Stielike was the coach of the Switzerland national football team from 1989 to 1991 as successor of Daniel Jeandupeux and predecessor of Roy Hodgson.
From 1994 to 1996, Stielike also had managerial spells at club level with UD Almería in Spain and SV Waldhof Mannheim in the 2. Bundesliga in Germany.
Germany
In 1998, Stielike had been interviewed by
From 9 September 1998 to 7 May 2000, Stielike had been the assistant to then Germany coach Erich Ribbeck. Shortly before 2000 UEFA European Championship, which ended in a disaster for the Germans, Stielike stepped down from his role as assistant due to differences in some respects with Ribbeck. He was replaced by Horst Hrubesch for the tournament.
Stielike spent six years working with different youth teams (i.e. the U21 side until 2004) of Germany and manager of Germany national under-20 football team of 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship and 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship.
Ivory Coast
On 14 September 2006, Stielike penned a contract with to take over the Ivory Coast national team in succession of Frenchman Henri Michel, subsequent to the elimination of the team at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Stielike stepped down as Les Éléphants coach on 7 January 2008 due to his son's alarming ill health.[8] On 1 February, Michael Stielike, 23, died after failing to receive a lung transplant, with his health gradually deteriorating until he was eventually put on life support.[9]
FC Sion
On 31 May 2008, he agreed to coach Swiss side FC Sion,[10][11] but was fired on 3 November 2008. On 5 January 2009 he then signed a contract with Al-Arabi Sports Club.[12]
South Korea
On 5 September 2014, Stielike was named manager of the
Stielike's team got off to a good start in the second round of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, not conceding a single goal and winning all eight matches in Group G. The third round of Group A matches did not go as well, however, and Stielike face heavy criticism over team selection and tactics after a 1–0 loss to Iran on 11 October 2016 and another 1–0 loss on 23 March 2017 to China (only Korea's second loss to China in 32 matches). A 3–2 loss to Qatar on 13 June 2017 was South Korea's third defeat in its first eight matches in Group A; the setback was South Korea's first to Qatar in 32 years. This horrible run of results led to Stielike's dismissal by the Korea Football Association (KFA) on 15 June 2017. After the loss to Qatar, South Korea remained second in Group A, seven points behind the already qualified Iran but just one point ahead of third-place Uzbekistan, with each team having played eight matches in Group A. South Korea faced Iran and then Uzbekistan in their final two Group A matches.[13][14] In the end, the Taegeuk Warriors finished second in the group to qualify despite two goalless draws under Shin Tae-yong, Stielike's successor.
Controversies
Since Stielike was sacked from South Korea, South Korean reporters revealed that Stielike had turned command over to one of the coaching staff due to players' dissatisfaction after two group matches in the 2015 AFC Asian Cup.[15][16] In an interview after the disclosures, Shin Tae-yong, the assistant manager at the time, testified that the South Korea's result in the 2015 Asian Cup was achieved by him, not by Stielike.[17]
Stielike was also criticized that his co-worker Carlos Armua had uncertain career and capability.[18][19]
