The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    His nickname is Jogi (pronounced 'Yogi').
    He is frequently caught picking his nose in public.
    He had a lackluster career as a soccer player and never played for the national team.
    He had issues with Michael Ballack especially as Ballack became more injury prone in his later years.
    He was banned from coaching during Euro 2008 after he was caught arguing with a referee during a group stage match.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He met Jurgen Klinsmann in coaching school and the two would coach team Germany (2004-2006) with Loew assistant coach.
    He learned to teach a more attacking, offensive play from Klinsmann and the two introduced a fitness staff, a business manager and a mental coach to the team.
    He's one of the most stylish national coaches with a wardrobe of Hugo Boss and a stylist mod haircut.
    He's stayed faithful to his wife Claudia since they met in 1978.
    The German team has always finished in the Top 3 at every World Cup, Euro and Confederations Cup since he started coaching.
