The word is made up of 'Bund' (federation/federal state) and 'Trainer' (coach). Here, 'Bund' is the short form for the Federal Republic of Germany. A 'Bundestrainer' (national coach) is therefore the coach responsible for Germany's national selection.

The prefix 'Bundes-' indicates that something refers to the whole Federal Republic of Germany. You find this word element in many terms from politics and sports, for example 'Bundeskanzler' (Federal Chancellor), 'Bundesliga' (Federal League/German national league), or 'Bundespräsident' (Federal President).
