Ottmar Hitzfeld was in the news this past week or so, announcing to
the world of football that he will be making a much anticipated return
to management in the Summer, after a 2 year absence from the game
that has a magnetic hold over him.
With a CV as impressive as any, winning 19 major honours in a career
spanning over 30 years, and the only man to win the Champions League
with two separate clubs, you fancy the tough, yet sophisticated coach
will have a whole host of 'glamour' club's after his signature.
Yet for Hitzfeld, the caveat of a challenge is far more of an appeal
to his finely tuned senses than a name on a badge. Indeed the German
has once again stressed that he is open to offers and that his eventual
destination could very well be at a "smaller club" than
his previous one, European super-club Bayern Munich.
Speaking to Die Welt, one of Germany's biggest newspapers,
he recently said:
"I am not fixated on top clubs, I can imagine managing a smaller
club. It’s also possible that I could go to a country outside of Europe
getting to know a new culture. I want to keep all options open."
Perhaps the Premiership could tempt Hitzfeld then? He's certainly
a fan of our game and has on numerous occasions declared he would
one day like to manage in England. He would be a most welcome addition
too and would enrich an already minted League that boasts such names
as Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho, Rafa Benitez, his big pal Sir Alex
Ferguson and err, Graeme Souness...
Any ambitious, forward thinking club looking for a new manager would
be foolish to ignore his availability and these subliminal messages.
For he ticks every box on the managerial credentials list, and then
sum.
A born winner as evidenced by that incredible trophy haul, authoritative,
fluent in English, impeccable man management techniques, tactically
astute and very much an all-rounder, Hitzfeld is without a doubt one
of the greatest minds in world football today and his signature would
be a coup for any club, especially our very own Newcastle United.
One to ponder Freddy...
