is a character that doesn’t need much introduction. In the past, he ran, among others , Schalke, Wolfsburg or Fulham. But the real fame, not necessarily the positive, came from his training methods rather than his extensive coaching CV. Magath was considered a ruthless tyrant who, even when he triumphed, was left behind a scorched earth. – Squeezes players like lemons, exceeds all allowed limits. I would never treat people like Magath does – said Uli Hoennes, former Bayern president.
– I think that because of his hard training I ended my career three years too soon. The knees did not hold out – Jacek Krzynówek, who met the German in Wolfsburg, recalled him in “Weszło”. He also met Magath on the “Wolves” team, but never got a chance from him.
in “Przegląd Sportowy” he once mentioned that the norm was one and a half hour long concrete runs (four minutes in a sprint, four in a jog), even with an unhealed injury. When he complained to Magath that he could not run, he sent him and an assistant on a several-hour-long bicycle trip. One of the more abstract stories was that when the Wolfsburg riders returned from a long and exhausting run through the woods, they were unable to drink water. Magath was about to empty all the bottles a moment earlier. But what is surprising, since it was called “Qualix”. This moniker is derived from the intersection of his first name with the German verb “qualen” which means … “to torture”.
The great comeback of Magath
The German coach has been on the periphery of big football for several years. In 2017, he stopped working in the Chinese league and since then he has not been a coach anywhere. But he has just returned and unexpectedly took over Hertha Berlin.
Under this information, a post by Tomasz Ćwiąkała appeared on Twitter, in which the commentator of Canal Plus asked Klich: “how does he evaluate this move?”.
“I’m already packing” – Klich replied jokingly.
This is obviously a joke, because Klich is not going anywhere. The Polish representative focuses on Leeds, where Marcelo Bielsa was dismissed after many years, and Jesse Marsch became the new coach of the team. The Pole met Magath a decade ago, but then he was a young footballer who joined the Bundesliga from Cracovia, and this jump turned out to be too big, so the midfielder had to rebuild in the Netherlands, playing for PEC Zwolle.
