David Wagner

David Wagner interests me more as a manager than as the striker he once was. Breaking in with Eintracht Frankfurt in 1990 and bouncing through Germany's first and second divisions, he had a respectable but not legendary playing career, and then he found a second act on the touchline. There's something compelling about a goalscorer who later has to think about orchestrating an entire team toward goal instead. Raised in West Germany, he carries that football culture in his bones. I suspect the frustrations he couldn't resolve as a player became the fuel for his coaching, and I respect that kind of reinvention.
