Ottmar Hitzfeld

“Thomas Tuchel is a coach who can work in the long-term.”

“We have to look after the health of the players. Quality suffers with too many games.”

“There is always pressure in football.”

“I am still hungry; I still hate defeats. There is no substitute for victories.”

“As long as you are successful and winning matches, the language is no problem at all. But when the results are insufficient, the difficulties begin. At this time, a coach needs to go into more detail with his instructions, and that's where the problems can lie.”

“I have never broken a contract in my career.”

“When you get older, 10 matches a year are enough.”

“Sometimes, the supposedly weak groups turn out to be very difficult, and the supposedly strong ones are easier to take control of.”
