Description

Béla Guttmann: the first superstar football coach. His remarkable story is one of survival and triumph. A Holocaust survivor who narrowly escaped death by hiding in an attic, Guttmann later escaped from a slave labour camp. Despite the unimaginable losses he suffered, including the murder of his family, he went on to achieve greatness on the football pitch. By 1961, as coach of Benfica, Guttmann had lifted one of football's greatest prizes: the European Cup. He repeated this feat the following year, becoming the first coach to achieve this remarkable double. This incredible comeback, from the death pits of Europe to the pinnacle of football success, is a testament to Guttmann's strength and determination. This book tells the story of Béla Guttmann's remarkable journey, from his experiences as a Holocaust survivor to his success as a football coach. It is a story of hope, resilience, and the power of the human spirit.
