Josef "Jupp" Derwall (10 March 1927 – 26 June 2007) was a German football player and coach. Derwall was manager of the Germany national football team between 1978 and 1984, winning the UEFA Euro 1980 and reaching the final of the 1982 World Cup. His hairdo provided the basis for his nickname "Chieftain Silver Curl" (Häuptling Silberlocke).
The midfielder and forward started in 1938 with Rhenania Würselen. Later Derwall played for Alemannia Aachen and Fortuna Düsseldorf in the western division of the five-way split first German league. With Aachen he reached the DFB-Pokal final in 1953 where he scored one goal at the 1–2 defeat at the hands of Rot-Weiss Essen. Five years later he reached the cup final with Düsseldorf, which was lost 3–4 against VfB Stuttgart. In 1954 he was also called twice to play for West Germany but was not selected for the squad which won the 1954 FIFA World Cup.
After retiring as a player, Derwall took up coaching first in Switzerland with FC Biel(1959–1961) and FC Schaffhausen (1961–1962). With Fortuna Düsseldorf he once more reached the cup final, then, in 1962, losing to 1. FC Nuremberg 1–2 after extra time. Afterwards he became coach of the regional association of Saarland for six years.
In 1970, he was appointed as successor to Udo Lattek as the German national team's assistant coach under the legendary Helmut Schön. At the 1972 Summer Olympics he was responsible for the German team, taking it into the last eight.
