Wolfgang Felix Magath (born July 26, 1953 in Aschaffenburg ) is a German soccer coach , manager and former soccer player . As a player he was European champion , vice world champion and multiple German champion , he also won two European cups . In his coaching career, he won the German championship three times. Magath is one of seven players in the history of the Bundesliga who became German football champions both as a player and as a coach. In addition, to this day he is the only coach who has won the championship and DFB Cup double twice in a row with a club .

Family, birth and childhood

Magath's mother Helene comes from East Prussia , from where she was expelled during the Second World War . His father Felix comes from Puerto Rico and served in Aschaffenburg as a soldier in the US Army , where his mother worked as a saleswoman and later at American Express ; the two were not married. Magath was born in Aschaffenburg in 1953. In 1954 the father went back to Puerto Rico. At the age of 15 Magath first came into contact (by letter) with his father.

Player career

Magath began playing football at VfR Nilkheim in 1960 before moving to TV 1860 Aschaffenburg in 1964 . In 1972 he signed with the larger city rival Viktoria Aschaffenburg .

1. FC Saarbrücken

In 1974 he received a professional contract with 1. FC Saarbrücken , who was playing in the 2. Bundesliga at the time. For Saarbrücken he scored 29 goals in 76 games. Felix Magath was with the Saarland champions of the 2nd Bundesliga 1975/76 , group south.

Hamburger SV

In 1976 he moved to the 1st Bundesliga for Hamburger SV , where he stayed until his career ended in 1986. As a playmaker , he played 306 Bundesliga games and scored 46 goals. With HSV he was three times German champion and twice European Cup winner . In 1977 Magath scored the 2-0 win against RSC Anderlecht in the final minute of the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup .

In 1983 HSV was in the final of the European Cup against Juventus Turin under coach Ernst Happel in Athens ; the Hamburgers were treated as blatant outsiders. After eight minutes Magath scored the goal to make it 1-0. The team was able to maintain its lead over the entire season and for the first time won the national champions' cup, the forerunner of today's Champions League . Magath and his team lost the World Cup final , which was played in Tokyo in December 1983 against Grêmio Porto Alegre in December 1983 , with his team 1: 2 a.m.

In 1979 Magath was one of the first Bundesliga players to be subsequently suspended due to television evidence. However, the judgment was overturned in the second instance.

National team

For the German national team , he came to 43 missions between April 1977 and June 1986 and scored three goals. In 1980 Magath was European champion , at the world championships in 1982 (at which he was among the starting XI on the night of Seville ) and in 1986 both runners-up.

After the 1982 tournament, Magath announced his retirement from the national team that was coached by Jupp Derwall . After Derwall was replaced by Franz Beckenbauer in the summer of 1984 , the latter persuaded Magath to make a comeback, so that Magath again appeared for the national team in autumn 1984. At the 1986 World Cup in Mexico , Magath played six of the seven games, including the final, which was just lost to Argentina. This game was his last for the national team.

For winning the European Championship in 1980 he was awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf by Federal President Karl Carstens .

After an injury had forced Magath to retire, he succeeded Günter Netzer as manager of the Hamburg sports club. During its two-year tenure, the club won the DFB Cup in 1987 . After a year break, Magath first worked for a year as a manager at the second division club 1. FC Saarbrücken , then from 1990 to 1992 in the same position at the Bundesliga club Bayer Uerdingen, today's KFC Uerdingen 05 , which was relegated to the second division in 1991. As a manager, Magath lacked practical relevance to football, so he decided to work as a club coach from now on.

FC Bremerhaven

In 1992 his coaching career began as a player- coach in the fourth-class association league at FC Bremerhaven , with which he was Bremen champion in his first year. At the same time, he worked for the financial services provider of the club's president Bernd Günther.

Hamburger SV

In 1993 Magath returned to HSV, five years after he had left the club in his role as manager, and took over the training of the HSV's second team. In the same year he was introduced as a coaching assistant to the Bundesliga team under coach Benno Möhlmann . In the 1995/96 season , Magath was promoted to head coach of the first team in autumn 1995, succeeding Möhlmann. The club had previously started weakly in the season and was in 17th place. Magath led the team to 5th place at the end of the season. In the following season, the club played through to the round of 16 of the UEFA Cup . When some players complained about the training that was too hard in their opinion and about poor communication with the coach and the club was also in a relegation battle, Magath was defeated in May 1997, two game days before the end of the season, after a 4-0 home defeat against the 1. FC Köln on leave. At this point the team was five points ahead of a relegation rank to 15th place in the table.

1. FC Nuremberg

In September 1997 Magath took over the position of coach at 1. FC Nürnberg , who had previously been promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga under coach Willi Entenmann from the Regionalliga Süd . After the team had found themselves on the relegation places soon after the start of the season, Entenmann was dismissed. Magath managed to lead the "club" out of the table basement up to third place, which meant promotion to the Bundesliga. However, Magath could not agree with the Presidium on a contract extension for the upcoming Bundesliga season, so he decided to leave the club despite the promotion; Willi Reimann was his successor.

Werder Bremen

In October 1998 Magath became the coach of Werder Bremen . The club was under its predecessor Wolfgang Sidka after the eighth game day in the last place in the table. Half a year later, in May 1999, Magath, who was still deep in the relegation battle with Bremen, got out of his contract prematurely. The reason for his decision should not have been primarily the sporting situation, but that he fell out with the board, fans and players. He was also accused of playing players such as B. Aílton did not develop further.

At the same time, he had previously led his team to the 1998/99 DFB Cup final against FC Bayern Munich , which Bremen won under Magath's successor Thomas Schaaf .

Eintracht Frankfurt

At Christmas 1999 Magath came to the relegation-threatened Eintracht Frankfurt as the successor to Jörg Berger . The club was at this point in 17th place in the table and was eight points behind a non-relegation place. Magath managed to stabilize the team and scored important points and wins. This is proven by the back round table of the season in which Eintracht reached third place in the table (which is only important for the statistics). Relegation was secured on the last day of the match. For a long time Magath saw this as the greatest achievement of his coaching career - up to the titles that he would later win.

At the end of January 2001, the club was back in the lower table area and after a 1: 5 defeat against 1. FC Köln Magath was on leave.

VfB Stuttgart

Just a month later, Magath found a new job. From February 2001 to June 30, 2004 he was team manager , trainer and (from the end of 2002 as successor to Rolf Rüssmann ) manager of VfB Stuttgart . When Magath was committed, Stuttgart was on the verge of relegation to the second division. In recent years he had earned a reputation as a "firefighter", a coach who takes on teams in relegation battle and reliably leads them into safe table situations; as a coach he had not won a title until then. Magath also lived up to his reputation at VfB and was able to prevent relegation.

In the years that followed, Magath led VfB back to the top tier of the Bundesliga. The generation of players such as Kevin Kurányi , Timo Hildebrand , Alexander Hleb and Andreas Hinkel - referred to by the media as " young and wild " - caused a lot of furore in the league. Magath moved into the international competition three times in a row and was runner-up behind FC Bayern Munich in 2003 . During his time in Stuttgart he made possible a. a. the later national players Philipp Lahm and Mario Gómez made their Bundesliga debut.

At the end of the 2003/04 season he left VfB Stuttgart a year before the end of his contract to succeed Ottmar Hitzfeld as coach at Bayern Munich.

FC Bayern Munich

On July 1, 2004, FC Bayern Munich signed Felix Magath for three years as the successor to Ottmar Hitzfeld . Magath knew the chairman of the board, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge , from his playing days, when he and Rummenigge were national players a. a. at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico in the lost final against Argentina.

After separating from Hitzfeld, the contract was brought forward by a year and the engagement with the record champions lasted from July 1, 2004 to January 31, 2007. During this time he was with Bayern in both the 2004/05 and 2005/06 seasons German champion and also won the DFB Cup . No club or coach had ever succeeded in two so-called doubles in a row.

After the 2006 World Cup and Michael Ballack's departure, when the team was unable to match the previous years' performance, Magath was given a leave of absence on January 31, 2007 and replaced by his predecessor Ottmar Hitzfeld. He then worked as a football commentator for the pay TV broadcaster Arena .

VfL Wolfsburg

On June 15, 2007, just under two months before the start of the 2007/08 season , Magath became the new managing director at VfL Wolfsburg . In addition to the position of coach and sports director, the field of responsibility also included looking after the next generation as well as being responsible for the rest of the sporting sector. Magath replaced Klaus Augenthaler as coach, who had just secured relegation on the last day of the 2006/07 season . The Wolfsburg team consisted of only twelve players at that time. He was therefore forced to bring in new staff. So he obliged u. a. Until then largely unknown players like the Brazilian Grafite or the Bosnian Edin Džeko , who later formed the best striker duo in Bundesliga history.

After the newly formed team had consolidated and established themselves at the beginning of the second half of the season, they made the connection to the top places in the table thanks to a very good second half of the season and jumped into a UEFA Cup place on the last match day. In the following season, VfL Wolfsburg surprisingly won the German championship in 2009 . After the “Wolves” had only reached ninth place in the table in the first half of the season, they secured the title with another excellent second half of the season, which also meant their first ever participation in the Champions League.

In the two years in Wolfsburg, Magath had almost completely replaced the player's staff, and signed a total of more than 30 new players for around 55 million euros. Players like Edin Džeko , Zvjezdan Misimović or Diego Benaglio were able to multiply their market value during this time.

FC Schalke 04

Magath as coach of Schalke 04

On May 6, 2009, before winning the championship with Wolfsburg, VfL Wolfsburg, FC Schalke 04 and Magath himself confirmed his move to Schalke 04 on July 1, 2009. There he received a contract as a coach and manager in personal union as of June 30, 2013, combined with a board member. In his first season at FC Schalke, he led the team, which was not previously classified as competitive, to second place in the Bundesliga and thus into the Champions League and the semi-finals of the DFB Cup.

For the 2010/11 season, the team was completely rebuilt for cost reasons; 14 new players, including Raúl from Spain and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar from the Netherlands , were signed and 16 players were sold or loaned out. With just one win in the first ten games, however, the team got off to the worst start to the season in the club's history. Even after that, Schalke could not free themselves from the relegation battle. In February 2011 Felix Magath got into turbulence at Schalke for various reasons. Media and fans denounced his transfer policy. In addition to international top people in the summer, Magath mainly brought players in the winter transfer period to compensate for the losses in the squad. Among other things, he provided the free transfer Angelos Charisteas and Ali Karimi with half-year contracts.

Thereupon he was from the media u. a. referred to as a "junk king", and fans accused him of "having signed countless players with no apparent concept". In an open letter, the "FC Schalke 04 Supporters Club" called on the board of directors to stop the "madness of the last few days" because of the controversial transfer policy. Furthermore, Magath was accused of having too little contact with the fans. Magath accepted the criticism and then activated his profile on the social network Facebook in 2011 .

Although he had some successes in the 2010/11 season by reaching the DFB Cup final and reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Magath was relieved of his duties on March 16, 2011 with immediate effect. He then announced on the same day that he was resigning from his job.

Return to VfL Wolfsburg

On March 18, 2011, just two days after his engagement with Schalke ended, Magath returned to VfL Wolfsburg as sporting manager and coach. He took over VfL from interim coach Pierre Littbarski in the middle of the relegation battle and held the class with the team with a 3-1 win in Hoffenheim on the last day of the 2010/11 season .

During the winter break of the 2011/12 season, Magath brought eight new players for a total of 30 million euros, including young defender Ricardo Rodríguez from FC Zurich for 7.5 million euros. During the summer break, Magath had a. a. Hasan Salihamidžić , Chris and Thomas Hitzlsperger signed. On January 4, 2012, newcomer Ibrahim Sissoko made his debut . With the use of the 36th player in a competitive game of the current season, Magath set a new Bundesliga record. At the end of the season he finished eighth with VfL and narrowly missed qualifying for the Europa League , for which seventh place would have been enough this year.

After Magath handed over Mario Mandžukić to Bayern Munich and Patrick Helmes injured himself in preparation, the start of the new season failed . On October 25, 2012, Magath was relieved of his duties prematurely - after eight match days, the team was in last place and had only scored two goals.

After that, Magath was an expert at the pay TV channel LIGA total! and, when asked about possible new commitments in football, often stated that he was satisfied with the current situation and that he might remain in retirement.

Fulham FC

In mid-February 2014, Magath was under discussion as a possible board member and coach of HSV, who was 17th in the table at the time. On February 13th, however, he canceled a possible engagement. A day later, Magath took over as the team manager of René Meulensteen as team manager of the Premier League eleven of Fulham FC , which was bottom of the table , making him active abroad for the first time and becoming the first German head coach in the Premier League. He received a contract until June 30, 2015, which was also valid for the English second division. At the beginning of May 2014, on the 37th matchday of the Premier League, Fulham FC was prematurely relegated. Magath emphasized that the club wanted to return to the "House of Lords" next season . After a bad start to the 2014/15 season, Magath was given leave of absence on September 18, 2014. At this point the team was in last place in the table with one point won from seven games.

Shandong Luneng Taishan

From June 2016 to December 2017 Magath was the coach of the Chinese club Shandong Luneng Taishan . He took over the team on the last place in the table in the Chinese Super League and led them to relegation. In the 2017 season he reached 6th place in the table with Shandong Luneng Taishan. On December 1, 2017, the club announced that it would not extend Magath's expiring contract.

Flyeralarm Global Soccer

In January 2020 Magath got a job at the Franconian online printing company Flyeralarm . He became head of the newly founded Flyeralarm Global Soccer division , through which he works as a consultant for Würzburger Kickers and FC Admira Wacker Mödling .

useful information

His tough training methods , such as working with medicine balls , earned Felix Magath the nickname Quälix .

“I don't know whether Felix Magath would have saved the Titanic. But the survivors would have been in top shape. "

- Jan Åge Fjørtoft : after relegation in 2000 with Eintracht Frankfurt , alluding to Jörg Berger , who a year earlier had spectacularly saved Eintracht from relegation on the last match day and said about Fjörtoft that he (Berger) “still had the Titanic rescued"

He names his former trainers Ernst Happel and Branko Zebec as his role models.

With Helmut Benthaus , Jupp Heynckes , Franz Beckenbauer , Matthias Sammer , Niko Kovač and Thomas Schaaf, Magath is the seventh player in the history of the Bundesliga to become German football champions both as a player and as a coach. He is one of seven coaches ( Udo Lattek , Ottmar Hitzfeld , Hennes Weisweiler , Max Merkel , Branko Zebec , Otto Rehhagel ) who became Bundesliga champions with two clubs. He is also the only Bundesliga coach who has won the double twice in a row .

Personal

In 1985, at an event organized by the news magazine Der Spiegel , Garri Kasparow (left) played simultaneous chess against 31 prominent guests in Hamburg . In the middle Felix Magath, on the right the four daughters of the chess player family Juliane and Gerhard Hund .

For several years he has been visiting his father regularly with his family in Puerto Rico. In August 2006, Magath was also under discussion as national coach.

At the age of 15 or 16 he preferred his middle name "Felix", which is also his father's first name, instead of "Wolfgang". He passed the technical diploma in economics.

In December 2003, Magath married for the second time. He has a total of six children.

In addition to playing football, he is also passionate about chess . This interest was awakened by the 1978 World Chess Championship between Anatoli Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi , which he was able to follow intensively during a ten-week hepatitis illness. The disease led to an overactive thyroid gland and an associated strong lightening of his skin color.

Magath describes himself as a person driven by success who is not satisfied with what has been achieved. This character trait became particularly clear when he moved from Wolfsburg to Schalke 04, when he said goodbye to the stable environment in Wolfsburg after winning the German championship and set himself the goal of helping Schalke, which was in a difficult financial situation and also in sport The area with little organization showed to lead back into the top tier of the Bundesliga.

social commitment

Felix Magath is committed to children in need on various levels. He supported the aid organization Ein Herz für Kinder several times and is chairman of the board of trustees of the Phytokids Foundation. After the 2011/12 season, he waived his success bonus in the form of a Bentley worth around 250,000 euros and had it converted into six VW minibuses, two of which he donated to "A Heart for Children", the Peter Maffay Foundation for disadvantaged and sick children as well as to the Phytokids Foundation.
