Peter Hyballa (born 5 December 1975) is a German professional football manager who most recently was the manager of South African Premiership club Sekhukhune United. He also served as manager at clubs in Germany, Namibia, Austria, the Netherlands, Poland, Denmark and Slovakia.
Before his career as a manager, Hyballa coached various youth teams in his native Germany, including the U19 sides of Arminia Bielefeld, VfL Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund.
In 2010, he took over as head coach of 2. Bundesliga club Alemannia Aachen. He then managed the Red Bull Salzburg reserves and Sturm Graz in Austria for two years. From 2014 to 2016, he was assistant and youth coach at Bayer Leverkusen. Hyballa was then appointed manager of NEC in 2016, where he quickly became known for his fanatical way of coaching, his controversial statements in interviews and behavior during matches. He moved to Slovakian club DAC Dunajská Streda in 2018, after being fired in NEC due to poor results. There, he had some success, leading the club to a second-place finish in 2019. Shorter spells with NAC Breda and Wisła Kraków followed, where he was dismissed after conflicts with management (in Poland with Jakub Blaszczykowski and Kazimierz Kmiecik). In May 2021, he became the head coach of Danish club Esbjerg fB, but resigned a few months later amid clashes with first-team players and reports of physical and mental abuse. Again, shorter stints followed at Türkgücü München and AS Trenčín, before returning to NAC Breda.
