Otto Pfister

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otto Pfister (born November 24, 1937 in Cologne) is a German football manager, and one of Germany's most successful coaching exports, voted Africa's Manager of the Year in 1992[citations needed]. He has never coached in Germany, and most of his success has come in Africa, Asia and in Switzerland. Pfister was selected as the head coach of Togo on February 18, 2006, after former coach Stephen Keshi was dismissed from the post despite having secured qualification for their first World Cup Finals. Pfister himself resigned shortly before the team's first match in the tournament, after his players went on strike over a pay dispute [1], but he was reappointed three days later after demands from the players. [2]

Pfister got his coaching certificate in Magglingen in the 1960s, and later studied further in Cologne[citations needed].
