Martina played three FIFA Women's World Cup (1991, 1995, 1999), one Olympiad (1996) and five UEFA Women's Championship (1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997).
Coaching career
Early career
After the end of her active career as a player, Voss-Tecklenburg worked as a team manager for the Oberliga club SV Straelen. Full-time as a PE teacher association, she takes care of female selection teams in the Lower Rhine.[2] She is also chief editor of the women's football magazine "FF".
From 12 February 2008 to 17 February 2011 she was the head coach of FCR 2001 Duisburg.[3][4][5] With Duisburg, Voss-Tecklenburg won the UEFA Women's Cup in 2009 and two national cups in 2009 and 2010. Her contract was ended on 17 February 2011.[6] In June 2011, she signed a one-year contract at Bundesliga side FF USV Jena,[7] but she left the team next January as she was appointed the Swiss national team's new coach.[8]
Switzerland
Voss-Tecklenburg led Switzerland to reach the 2015 Women's World Cup for the first time in their history.[9] In addition, she managed her team to their first ever European competition in 2017. However, Switzerland failed to qualify to the 2019 Women's World Cup after losing 4–1 to the Netherlands in the play-off final.
Germany
On 30 November 2018, Voss-Tecklenburg was presented as new coach of Germany.[10] At the 2019 World Cup, Germany were eliminated in the quarterfinals after a 2–1 defeat against Sweden; hence, they lost the opportunity to play at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[11] In the Euro 2022, she led her country to the final, where they lost to the host, England, 2–1 after extra time.[12] In April 2023, she extended her contract along with her assistant Britta Carlson until 2025.[13]
In the 2023 Women's World Cup, Germany won 6–0 over Morocco in the first match, followed by a 2–1 loss to Colombia and a 1–1 draw against South Korea, in which the national team finished third in their group, and were eliminated from the group stage for the first time in their history.[14] After the World Cup she was out with an illness and in October 2023, Horst Hrubesch took over the German team as an interim manager.[15] The contract was voided a month later.[16]
Personal life
She was in a relationship with German football player Inka Grings until 2000. She has been married to German entrepreneur Hermann Tecklenburg since 2009 and has one daughter from a previous marriage, and a grandchild.[17]
