Greece won without local coach
Trending
This might take a little time to sink in, but the only time a team won the Euros without a local coach was in the Euro 2004. Since its inception in 1964, every team that laid hands on this prestigious title had a coach of the same country to thank for.
Be it Vicente del Bosque with Spain or Roger Lemerre with France, the teams were led to glory by someone who shared the same national anthem. However, in 2004, the mastermind behind Greece’s unexpected triumph was German coach Otto Rehhagel.
The German is the only nation in history to win a Euro with a nation that he could not call his own.
