He was the head coach of the Luxembourg national team, having succeeded Dane Allan Simonsen in 2004.[2]

In 2010, Hellers resigned as Luxembourg coach and was succeeded by Luc Holtz.[3]

Club career

Arguably Luxembourg's most successful player, Hellers shortly played for FC Metz [4] but he spent the majority of his career at Standard Liège, where has been captain. He played 458 matches in total for them, scoring 37 goals.[5] He was surprisingly dismissed by then manager Tomislav Ivic in September 1999 after some verbal clashes between coach and squad.[6]

International career

Hellers made his debut for Luxembourg in an October 1982 European Championship qualification match against Greece and went on to earn 55 caps, scoring 2 goals.[7] He played in 27 FIFA World Cup qualification matches.[8] His final international game was an October 1997 World Cup qualification match against Cyprus.

He scored the only goal in the upset match against the Czech Republic in 1995.
