A biography of Bela Guttmann, a Hungarian footballer who became the first superstar football coach as he led Benfica to successive European Cup victories during the early 1960s. Guttmann also coached clubs in South America and across Europe in addition to coaching the national teams of Hungary, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy, Brazil, Uruguay, and Portugal. Guttmann's story is all the more remarkable as he was a holocaust survivor who escaped from from a slave labour camp where his father, sister and wider family were murdered. This edition published in 2018.
