the 55-year-old Flick has now earned the title master trainer, after he has gained during the week, with FC Bayern München for the title, is a pretty amazing twist. A without brisk shipment and career awareness found himself suddenly on the most sought-after football-management posts in the country and has the same success. But the history of football and family-people, Hans-Dieter – called Hansi Flick is also an often under-appreciated.

This comes primarily from his time as an assistant of Joachim Löw, as the Flick seemed to be in the eyes of the General Public, especially for the hat and half the statements, while a blaze of glory for the chief were reserved.
