Classic Snapshot: Otto Rehagel and Rudi Völler

Here are Werder Bremen’s Otto Rehagel and Rudi Völler during a match against Nuremberg back in 1983. Rudi Völler was the man in the shadows and Shazback got it right with the very first comment. It was probably a bit misleading, given that Rudi Völler ended his playing career years ago, but calling the post Name this Sporting Director would have made things even easier than they were already.

A bit of trivia: Bremen went on to win this game 3-2 and ended the season in second place behind Hamburg; level on points but with the worse goal differential. If that wasn’t heart breaking enough, the exact same thing happened again in 1986. This time around it were Bayern Munich beating Bremen to the title on goal differential.
