Reinhold Fanz (born 16 January 1954 in Mannheim) is a German former professional footballer and formerly manager of the Cuba national football team.
Fanz began his playing career at Amicitia Viernheim, before moving onto SV Sandhausen, playing in the third tier. In 1974, he joined VfR Heilbronn in the newly formed 2. Bundesliga South. The team's stay in this new division only lasted a single season though and, upon their relegation in 1975, Fanz left for 2. Bundesliga South club Wuppertaler SV. Here, he spent two seasons challenging for the promotion, but falling short (in fifth and third place, respectively).
Although Wuppertaler SV wouldn't make the top flight, Fanz would as he was signed by Fortuna Düsseldorf in 1977. Fanz played his part as the team managed a top five finish in his first season, but his main achievement here was winning the 1979 DFB Cup as they defeated Hertha BSC 1–0.
However, he was not offered a new contract after this, and he found a new club in Freiburger FC of the 2. Bundesliga South in November 1979. After a six-month spell at this level, he returned to the Bundesliga with newly promoted Karlsruher SC. Fanz was a virtual ever-present in his debut year here as they consolidated in tenth place, and he remained first choice for the start of the following season. Disaster struck though just four games in, as he broke his fibula bone against Arminia Bielefeld.
This injury effectively ending his professional playing career, as he was unable to play another game for Karlsruher SC and eventually quit the club in 1983. He did manage to play a part in the 1983–84 season though for his former club SV Sandhausen in the Oberliga.
