Playing career

Hey played mainly for Fortuna Düsseldorf and Schalke 04 [3] in Germany, [4] as well as Tennis Borussia Berlin, Fortuna Köln, VfL Osnabrück, Anorthosis Famagusta and VfR Neumünster.

Managerial career

Hey began his management career in Germany with VfR Neumünster before moving to Africa to manage Lesotho. [4] Hey was also manager of the Gambia from September 2006 [4] until March 2007. [5] His spell with Gambia was marred by concerns over money. [6] [7] He was appointed manager of Liberia in February 2008. [8] In February 2009, he was appointed coach of the Kenyan national team. [9] [10] After disputes with the governing body over team selection, [11] Hey walked out on Kenya's national team shortly before the final World Cup qualifier against Nigeria. [12] [13]

Later on, he worked as a Technical Director for the Libyan Football Federation from 2010 until 2014, and in the same role for the Bahrain Football Association from 2015 until 2016. [14] In November 2016, Hey returned to management with Sudanese club Al-Merrikh, [15] but he was sacked in January 2017 due to poor results, directly after the draw with ASAS Djibouti Télécom in the 2017 UAFA Club Championship. [16]

In February 2017 he was one of a number of managers on the shortlist for the vacant Rwanda national team manager role. [17] He was appointed manager of the Rwanda national team in March 2017. [18] He asked to quit in January 2018. [19]

In May 2018, he was appointed in a dual role as manager of Myanmar and its under-23 team on a one-and-half-year deal. [20] In the 2018 AFF Championship, Myanmar drew with Vietnam under controversial circumstances. [21] Hey was criticized for his aggressive behaviour in this match towards the Vietnamese players and their manager Park Hang-seo. [22] [23] He was sacked in December 2018. [24] He returned to Myanmar in October 2019. [25]
