Otto Rehhagel’s record for a game’s most yellow cards is 16 cards
German former football player and coach Otto Rehhagel was born on August 9, 1938. Only two individuals, Rehhagel being one of them, have managed and played in more than 1,000 Bundesliga games (the other being Jupp Heynckes). He holds the records for the most wins (387), ties (205), and losses (228) in the Bundesliga, and his sides have scored the most goals (1,473) and allowed the fewest goals (1,142) of any other team.
Between 1981 until 1995, he was the head coach of Werder Bremen, where he led them to two Bundesliga titles and the 1992 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup. After an underwhelming interlude at Bayern Munich, he sensationally won the Bundesliga with the promoted squad 1. FC Kaiserslautern.
Internationally, Rehhagel oversaw the national team of Greece from 2001 to 2010 during their most prosperous period of football. During that time, Greece qualified for the 2010 World Cup, their second trip to the World Cup finals, and unexpectedly won the 2004 European Championship. Based on Otto
At Hansa Rostock, Marvin Ducksch gave Werder Bremen the lead with a miraculous goal. It was the seventh victory in seven games for head coach Ole Werner. In their matchup with Kiel, Erzgebirge Aue had a drama. The preceding record is from the 1980–81 campaign. Otto Rehhagel, who took over as Werder Bremen’s coach at the time, won his first eight games.
A stunning debut that was unsurpassed for the next 41 years. On the one hand, because the team’s coaching bench staff was rather stable. But also, because three or four victories are uncommon. The track record, however, is currently in doubt. On Friday night, Hansa Rostock was defeated 2:1 by demoted Bremen from the first tier (0:0). Rehhagel’s success with the Greece national team at the 2004 European Championships, the 2022 critically praised film King Otto was created.
