the charge is handy flick he won 6 trophies with byron in 2020 on the way to becoming you wait for coach of the year i like to make my players walk taller just and it does them good that means the rise of your going club from 2nd tier stallworth to the best fifo coach. so that distinctly average player to be coaching a little colder it's certainly a good story for. their success has reset the bar for others with tomas to hold markov also and usually are not goals man following in their footsteps. by professional football as a shot you sink or swim. into the next batch is already in the pipeline germany's training and instruction program is busy forming some of to morrows top coaches. this is the face of the new generation of coaches usually are nagas man young ambitious and highly confident. this man's head coaching
9:32 am
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 i want to see your 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 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 they give us a bit he likes them but in coaching career built on the back of disappointment knuckles man's dream of playing professional football himself was shattered at an
9:33 am
early age. i think i was fairly talented whether i was good enough for a top international career but 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 it's of special going back that doesn't mean off me but by $23.00 novels a man was at hoffenheim in charge of the under 17 it's 3 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 . loss of that magnitude obviously helps lend you
9:34 am
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 than mine but wolf will come all come out of. 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 needs is
9:35 am
tasked with preparing them for what lies ahead. for the moment when you see charge of a professional scene you must be confident about every aspect of the job you want every training session to be highly effective and need a thorough understanding of sciri as a coach you'll know past the introductory stage. is no stranger to the bundesliga and assistant to both sami and a whole dash mitt later who isn't he is currently assistant to stefan koontz for the germany under 20 one's and he's well aware there is much more to being a coach than knowing all the theory. i think the most difficult thing in practice is being confident and remaining confident in any situation. especially when things aren't going so well because that's when the players are keeping a particularly close. so on you. how's he going to respond now. they're totally
9:36 am
to name to what you're doing mastering that is the biggest challenge of all for a coach. 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 . you know. 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 a level so it's becoming kind of a logical career step from used 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. striking the right note while making the necessary tweaks kanzi flick has been giving an extended master class and how it's done at byron he steered them from
9:37 am
troubled waters back to international dominance. if you're a good person that something players will respond to i think for them your core values are very important and they'll only really follow you if they feel those values are good i've always known hansie is someone with a great talent for bringing people together and creating a good atmosphere routine like byron that can make all the difference so i'm not surprised he's having such success as a head coach though you couldn't foreseen things developing quite as they did he probably didn't forsee that himself. pansy flick the coach of the moment having spent long enough in the shadows he was brought in as an assistant bumped up 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
9:38 am
a fresh faced talent or hard boiled veteran. acting quits forced if you imagine it in terms of the stock price it's fairly rocketed since hands we took over for the club as a whole and myself personally. that is a good mentor you know you talk to disparage pressures young players you know the down to earth guy. he knows you know he was a player once only knows what. he won for leake titles in his 5 years of byron never a 1st rank star but always his own man as former teammate of the time the tale was recalls. his piece not just pleasant hanzi he's very straightforward when he's got an opinion the stands his ground on it and other handy attributes for a head coach for 8 years flick was assistant to national team coach he often live in 2014 they won the world cup together. yeah i'm not so easy as
9:39 am
a vital cog in the chain for us back that has he has great empathy for the players and he'll demonstrate it in crucial situations but he's also a communicator good at getting his message across for me. after that world cup pinnacle he moved into the administrative sphere a fresh challenge which didn't go to plan he stepped down as sporting director of the d.f.t. the german football association after 2 and a half years the next engagement at hoffenheim lasted just 8 months flick was evidently happier out on the training ground than up in the stands unseen inseam on currency someone who lives for football 247 that's also accepted as home if he's at his desk working on tactics and the den is ready but it won't be and he'll keep working on his tactics dinner can be warmed up again later because it's not an off the. bat mix of perfectionism and he. when touch got him in the door at byron as an
9:40 am
assistant coach in the summer of 2019 the rest is history after nico coach's departure flick took over and set the team straight. but the end of the season had led them to a stunning travel triumph you wait for coach of the year and a team player as ever. for that money you never succeed on your own says the coach from the operation but i'm all for sharing so i can say for sure that without everyone pulling in the same direction you could never be this successful for us i can see flick the players' friend he rose from supporting act to the top of the coaching summit completing the final ascent at stunning speed do years of hard work to make it possible.
9:41 am
for us what harms almost boyish i played 7 years in the bundesliga before winding down my career in australia i had some very good coaches there which inspired me to try coaching myself into what it was. like i. returned to germany 3 years ago and was getting a lot of t.v. work as an expert analyst and now as of last july i'm coaching the i'm tough going for the under 15 this. morning. i found myself thinking it's all well and good at analyzing other people's work but it's surely much more exciting to do that work yourself if you can lay it all out on a tactics board but communicating your own ideas about football to young players can you actually do that working with them on a weekly or daily basis is also going on. why don't.
9:42 am
you just weren't. so i could sense that while the theoretical side was something elementary and important to me sooner or later that work out to be taken on to the pitch was. some of the world's best coaches certainly weren't top level professionals in their own playing days but what i have increasingly notice especially working at youth level is that it's no bad thing to be able to demonstrate what you're talking about if a coach is just standing there with his arms crossed explaining the theory of something there's a certain element missing in so i'm pretty glad now that i played at a high level and can actually illustrate what i'm talking about the wrong thing if
9:43 am
i once again. skipped a lot of occasionally someone will revolutionize international football i think it lets you go madrid under simeoni really influence the defensive side of things even . as for the prevalent style of pressing deep passing and the heavy focus on vertical attacking i'd say that with a golf gun nick you're going klopp we had 2 german coaches blazing a trail. bunch of but it's not. mine it's the regional capital of rhineland net. the local football club is one of the bonus leaguers perennial underdogs now playing their 12th straight season in the top flight thanks above all to their remarkable run of coaches. here 20 years ago a veteran player was redeployed as head coach on short notice his name yogen club.
9:44 am
uncompromising defender who never played a minute of bundesliga football now in early 2001 with his club struggling to avoid relegation to the 3rd division he was tasked with steering them to safety from the touchline because the best they could view from the outside it does seem pretty exciting to be honest but actually being in that situation is obviously quite different it didn't feel spectacular solan took up a lot of it with time but it was great as well a fortunate life is having the opportunity to do what you want in my case it's the only thing i can do and. believe and as i can't do anything else and it was important to get it right as a coach. wasn't. a stopgap solution destined to have a long term impact and far beyond minds the style introduced by clarke took them
9:45 am
clear of relegation for starters and then up to the bundesliga 3 years later clarke was a coach who often doubles up as father figure as well. as me you're working basically with a group of young men who do need a mentor of some sort and ideally that should be the coach which means ensuring the understand why it makes sense to listen to me. what i said to my players right at the start was even if i have no idea about football it would be good for you to engage with me because everyone doing the same things wrong together has still better than everyone just doing what. i want. next stop for klopp was the rural district joining. to 1800 the following 5 years he took the time powerhouse from table mediocrity to the top of the pile in germany winning the domestic double in 2012 and even reached the champions league final
9:46 am
a year later remains a top man legend. and a. good lively passionate football in dortmund and you can create something really special. show total commitment celebrate blocking a bull for a throw him like it's a goal of winning a tackle like it's a goal. in a football mad city you can do that. if it's somewhere people generally prefer to visit the opera it's harder to generate that enthusiasm but if the love of football's there in the 1st place it can be done. to our football combined with a few tactical twists making for a dynamic attacking style points one of the 1st coaches to systematically incorporate his full backs into the forward game a typical example here right back look lash check capping off his upfield search with an assist.
9:47 am
i think. she was. you're going klopp from emergency promotion at mines to 2 time best fifo coach it's been quite a journey. it could certainly have been worse up to now. may be also better you will never know but from being a distinctly average player in the soul. least it's getting the opportunity to coach. it's a good story. only a year after the clop era ended in mines they catapulted another coaching prodigy into the bundesliga thomas a top tactician big on detail but also with an impulsive streak and an already proven knack of bringing through young talents like andre surely came straight up
9:48 am
with him from the under nineteen's. that says a he was very demanding in every training session he's a perfectionist he has his concept and knows what he wants and every player has to adapt to that. but he's the master of the match plan a way to top dogs byron munich total instructed his players to man mark the opposition defenders a simple but rarely seen tactic which effectively shutdown byron's deep build up play minds went on to earn their 1st ever win in munich thanks to took months tactics. to join. the summer. and i think it was a kind of game plan visionary in terms of developing specific measures for specific situations there was a lot of. what i have. i think with that and also just his general approach to
9:49 am
coaching in football he's had an influence on a lot of other coaches in germany. but. the game plan each coach has it in his own variations it's a strategic battle of wits every match day offering revealing insights into the foundational football philosophy of those at the top of their trade. has evidently learned a thing or 2 from both your gun club and thomas too also was part of that 1st mights team to win promotion to the bundesliga a formative experience in its own right. which is as good. i mean it's fairly simple football's a team sport and obviously at the top level you depend on individual quality. i would but for that to make a difference you need to have a functioning team it's often said that teams with a great mentality can beat better quality opponents. mentality that's
9:50 am
a key feature of football. the closer is now at the helm in mentioned blood bath where he's briefed fresh life into the entire club putting his own imprint on the team. yet and if i don't have the ability we used to run into problems if we didn't take the lead around how to pressure the opposition high up the pitch. we were great on the counter and could sit back and defend very well now we can also press and defend further up. there's still room for improvement there and elsewhere but that's an important new facet to our game another way we can win and. glove box play with an extraordinary intensity winning back possession the whole team switches straight into attack mode virtually every pass can now go directly forward it's a high speed ambush right through to the finish. which
9:51 am
you did eventually get the concept we've developed with the coach is a very good fit for us both of them pushing forward high pressing we really like winning the ball up there it's a shorter route to go for the songs or has forged minting glass half into a collective who can hold their own against international heavyweights like ray ahmed rid and interim milan as a result this season they've made the champions league round of 16 for the 1st time next season also will be coaching in dortmund. like seiko now firmly in. although among the bundesliga elite they've been making waves in europe as well champions league semifinalists last season another indication of the club's potential thanks to their incredible resources usually are not all smiles as well into his 2nd here directing the project.
9:52 am
one staple tactic involves packing bodies into the middle drawing in their opponents in similar numbers which leaves like take with space to explode out wide at the same time they're able to swarm the opposition box as soon as the attack on falls. short period are several others duds. as. are like to see those compressed into that space in front of our own goalie while still having a lot of players within striking distance of the opposition. that basically means in the middle of the park so i do like us to have a few guys about area get out of. the novels man system also bore fruit against byron in december tying up the hosts in the center line 6 head space to operate in down the flanks it's no fluke that left back and highly neo is among their top players for direct goal involvements.
9:53 am
straight in the demon something. you know. quite well. really. thanks to him i think my getting better. you'll be our novels man will move on to a buyer next season the reigning chaps dished out a record 25000000 euros to lure the coach from leipsic. county flick looks. likely to take over the german national team after the euros. will step down. so the legs of. 6 titles in 2020 flicks succeeded in uniting everyone behind his concept from the off. for defender. that was
9:54 am
a crucial factor. he delivered results straight away. gives us a very precise game plan and i think he manages the whole group really well. with. a substitute. pansy flick spire and put the opposition under enormous pressure the defensive line is halfway up the pitch while the attackers focus relentlessly on hunting down the ball from here blink of an eye stuff less than 2 and a half seconds between winning back possession and hitting the net. and the coach always wants to see is playing good football. we defend very high up in the pitch and we also maintain an extremely complex shape. he basically just knows the best way of setting the team up for going. under him they've also got incredible penetration when they win the bowl they don't
9:55 am
need to knock it around or have 70 percent possessions they have so many quick guys up front they can just keep playing it in behind the defense. of the swift up field feed has become an intense tactic with center forward corbett leavened off ski the ever willing number one receiver. to. slap on. a striker who is having a series of prison life. with a final polish from a coach that long awaited fee for best player award is his at last. the record champions a quicker sharper cutting edge one more name for the pantheon of great byron coaches though his reign was shorter than many expected. right now on the international stage it's german coaches setting the tone their roads to the top have been many each man altering his own success story along the
