Dinho lad Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) I thought Rangnick had managed in the PL before for WBA for a short stint. I checked the WBA record, to see who it was that manged them, but couldn't see a name of a German coach. I must have dreamed it all. But I'm sure there was a German coach who was in the PL circa 2005-2012 for a club like WBA, and I thought it was Rangnick.

clintdempsey Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 1 minute ago, HTT II said: That mad bastard, what a disaster he was Quote As a manager, Magath quickly gained respect and became known for his hard, grinding training methods, laying heavy emphasis on discipline, fitness and conditioning. Players gave him nicknames like "Saddam" (Saddam Hussein) or "Quälix",[70] a rhyming mash of his first name Felix and the German verb "quälen" (to torture).[71] He was once described by former Eintracht Frankfurt player Bachirou Salou as the "last dictator in Europe". After leaving Fulham in September 2014, bizarre stories emerged about how Magath had suggested that Brede Hangeland rub cheese on a thigh injury. Magath stated that Hangeland did not have a thigh injury but an inflammation of the knee, and that he suggested the additional use of an alternative treatment with a bandage (dressing) consisting of Quark.Fulham player Sascha Riether later said that the story was greatly exaggerated and that Magath had suggested he use a traditional topfen curd.

Wullie Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 There's only been 5 German PL managers before RR: Klopp, Siewart, Tuchel, Magath and Farke. 6 if you count David Wagner who is German really but played for the US. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Maybe he wasn't German, then. Maybe he wasn't even a manager - could have been a director of football or something. But I'm pretty sure he was the manager as I seem to recall him doing regular post-match interviews. Maybe I'm getting old! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a very good job at both Bury before they went bust, and got Plymouth promoted from League 2, and has them at the top of League 1 now. I live in Cornwall and he's highly rated by pretty much every Plymouth fan, and general consensus is that he deserves the chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
