Felix Magath is a provocateur
In the case of Felix Magath, opinions differ and he does not really allow himself to be pushed into a template. For his supporters, he is considered one of the most imaginative and successful German coaches, who is one of the few remaining personalities in German professional football. Skeptics comment on his training methods.
The book depicts the development of young Felix Magath, who grows up near a soccer field and spends his afternoons in solitude while his mother works full-time. During this time, football becomes his means of communication. Small talk is still not his forte. "Ask me, I'll answer almost everything," says the former international, smiling friendly, according to the publisher.
