In a career spanning 20 years, Matthaus won almost all there is to win in football at club and international level, turning out for some of the biggest clubs in the world such as Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Monchengladbach, while also winning multiple individual awards including the FIFA World Best Player as well as the Ballon d'Or.
His foray into management has been less glamorous, taking in unproductive spells with numerous clubs including Rapid Wien, Partizan Belgrade, the Hungarian as well as the Bulgarian national teams to not much success.
He has publicly stated in the past that his ultimate aim is to get a coaching job in the Bundesliga. Although on the evidence of his performances elsewhere, that is a dream which could be far from coming true.
