"Resigned from office"
Lothar no longer coach: parents are the problem
"I have resigned as coach." Lothar Matthäus trumpeted on Sky at the weekend. And also explained the reason: it's not the children who are the problem, but their parents.
Matthäus had most recently coached the U13s at TSG Grünwald for two years. He also coached his son Milan there. Now it's over. Lothar is no longer coaching. German media were delighted with the headline. He himself was obviously less happy with his job recently. "The players have caused fewer problems than the kids' parents," explained the former world footballer on the discussion program "Sky90".
"Every child plays too little"
The 1990 World Cup winner explained: "Hanging on the phone all day" and constantly having to listen to "everything I do wrong" is too much for him. "Every child plays too little. Then I thought: let someone else do it, maybe they'll do it better."
It no longer seems to be a real love affair between Matthäus and the coaching business. As a professional coach, he has worked for Rapid, Salzburg, Partizan Belgrade and the Hungarian national team, among others. The resounding success failed to materialize in each case. Apparently also in youth soccer.
