Werner Lorant, a notable figure in German football, passed away at 76, as confirmed by his family and TSV 1860 Munich. Initially a player with several clubs, he later achieved fame as the head coach of 1860 Munich, transforming the team from the third division to the Bundesliga and securing a fourth-place finish in 2000. This performance enabled his team to compete for the Champions League, marking a significant achievement in his career. Lorant, known for his unique management style and strong personality, left an indelible mark on the sport and his players.
Football meant the world to him. When he no longer had football, he was no longer well. He loved Die Lowen. They were close to his heart.
Players are only subbed if their leg falls off. My policy was to keep them on the pitch, regardless of injuryâplaying injury is part of the game.
The players knew my rules: if a phone goes off [on the team bus], they can get off and use the phone to call a taxi.
He can be happy that I didn't slap him. My temper got the best of me, but when you're passionate, emotions run high.
