Bernd Storck (born 25 January 1963 in Herne) is a German former footballer who played as a defender. He is currently the head coach of the Hungary national football team.
Storck made his player debut in the Bundesliga with VfL Bochum. In the summer of 1983, he moved to Borussia Dortmund, where he remained for six years. His biggest success as a pro was winning the 1988–89 DFB-Pokal. He played in 170 Bundesliga matches and scored eight goals.
After ending his playing career, he completed a trainer's course and was an assistant coach with Borussia Dortmund, VfB Stuttgart, Hertha BSC, VfL Wolfsburg, and FK Partizan Belgrade.
In the middle of the 2008 season he was appointed manager of Kazakh side FC Almaty to help the club avoid relegation in 2008.
At the same time he has also managed Kazakhstan national under-21 football team.
Storck has complained about the state of the Kazakhstan Premier League and the lack of cooperation he encountered from the local clubs' management.
On 1 March 2010, Storck signed a new one-year contract as coach of Kazakhstan national football team. Viktor Katkov, vice-president of Football Federation of Kazakhstan, said that "Our young team are progressing with every match, as shown by the games against Croatia and Ukraine at the end of 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying. Bernd's football philosophy is a modern one and we are sure it will promote further improvement." Storck added: "I am proud to have the opportunity to continue my work with the Football Federation of Kazakhstan. We have made progress and I am keen to continue working with the team. It is interesting for me to see young footballers develop, and the whole of Kazakh football is developing right now and its status in Europe improving. I hope our work together will bear fruit and that the team can do well for the fans in EURO 2012 qualifying."
