Andrej Hauptman (born 5 May 1975) is a Slovenian former professional road racing cyclist.[1] In 2001 he became the first Slovenian rider to take a world championship medal in cycling when he won the bronze in the road race at the Road World Championships.[2] After retiring from competition, he became a cycling coach: he is coach of fellow Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar and also serves as head coach and head of selectors for the Slovenian national cycling team.[2][3] He formerly managed Pogi Team Gusto Ljubljana, where as well as guiding Pogačar through his under-23 career he coached Primož Roglič when the latter switched from ski jumping to cycling and rode for the team's development squad.[4][5] In May 2019 Hauptman joined UAE Team Emirates as a directeur sportif after Pogačar joined the team.[4]
