coaches. this is the face of the new generation of coaches usually are not young ambitious and highly confident. this man's head coaching career began in february 26th seen when he took charge of relegation threatened hoffenheim at the age of 28. he was the youngest full time head coach in bundesliga history. he's only seen further success since then. obviously me becoming a wonderfully good coach at 28 and having some success has helped open the door for others to a degree the club's realized this could work but it's really the standard business model that 65 generally close to retirement someone younger comes along and takes your place but it's the same in football also i think with the players themselves the mentality has changed a bit and when you're closer to their own age certain aspects of the job easier and

it isn't but i hear them abutting coaching career built on the back of disappointment knuckles man's dream of playing professional football himself was shattered at an early age. i think i was fairly talented whether i was good enough for a top international career i don't know these things are hard to predict but when all the injury problems came to a head in 2007 and i sensed i couldn't play pain free anymore i initially wanted to quit football altogether i felt like trying something else was studying business and looking to go in that direction but then the 860 mention offered me an assistant coaching job which i gratefully accepted because i'd soon realised football still meant a lot to me was special america doesn't mean off. by $23.00 now girls man was at hoffenheim in charge of the under 173 years later he steered the under nineteen's to the national title he enjoyed a special report with the players. drawing on

a difficult moment of his own the death of his father when you leon was just 20. 6 that's not a loss of that magnitude obviously helps lend you a bit of perspective about the end of the day it's only football and we've just had a case of a player losing a family member and that's something you can empathize with if you've experienced it yourself i like the saying love is power. if you try to help the players where you can in personal matters as well that has a positive effect on their job. i'm together you can be more successful of mine and both will come all come out of. one such human qualities are one vital ingredient for not. on the technical side he also established his credentials early earning his coaching badge with the 2nd best grade in germany's class of 2016. and this is where he earned it every year at sports southeast of cologne some

25 coaches take their you way for pro license a prerequisite for touchline duty in the bundesliga head instructor daniel is tasked with preparing them for what lies ahead. in a moment when you see charge of a professional team you must be confident about every aspect of the job you want every training session to be highly effective and need a summer understanding of sciri as a coach you'll know postie introductory stage. is no stranger to the bundesliga and assistant to both sami and a whole dash mitt at later coups and he is currently assistant to stephanie coontz for the germany under 20 one's and he's well aware there's much more to being a coach than knowing all the theory. the most difficult thing in practice is being confident and remaining confident. in any

situation like this specially when things aren't going so well because that's when the players are keeping a particularly close eye on you. how's he going to respond now. they're totally to name to what you're doing mastering that is the biggest challenge of all for a coach you know football is changing in many ways and that's also evident in coaching where a growing number of tacticians are making a mark at the bundesliga level without ever having played professionally themselves . there's a trend towards younger players moving into the senior set up much earlier that leads to higher demand for coaches who used to working with players who use level so it's becoming kind of a logical career step from youth team to head coach i think in the past clear cut pronouncements in a rather critics style with pretty much the norm you can do it that way now. it's.

to the top job. and has brought success from day one byron's on field form is tied to his off field connection with the players. whether it's a fresh faced talent or hard boiled veteran. acts inquest forced if you imagine it in terms of the stock price it's fairly rocketed since hanzi took over for the club as a whole and myself personally. that is a good mentor you know you talk to the spurs pressures young players you know the down to earth guy. he knows you know he was a player once so he knows. he won 4 leak titles in his 5 years of fire and never a 1st rank star but always his own man as former teammate of the time a tailless recalls. his he's not just pleasant hanzi he's very straightforward when he's got an opinion the stands his ground on it and other
