Are teams like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid beatable? How do teams like Germany’s RB Leipzig achieve their meteoric success, climbing from obscurity to their nation’s top tier in only a few seasons? Many now agree that anything is possible with the right coach. When a manager reimagines how the game is played, he gives his team a crucial edge over the competition. Renowned football expert Tobias Escher sketches a series of captivating portraits of the most innovative and courageous football managers in the game today, including Guardiola, Klopp, Mourinho, Löw and many others, while explaining their tactics and ideas. The only way to reveal the finesse and subtlety of their individual approaches is by comparing them directly to one another.
