Success coach Steffen Baumgart from 1. FC Köln spoke openly about his former financial need. "I was at the bottom back then," said Baumgart in an interview with the Sport-Bild about the time when he couldn't even pay for the approximately 20,000 euros for the football teacher course at the DFB: "At the time, I was no longer creditworthy. My wife made the money for our family. "
The former professional had registered unemployed for a few days after his return from China in 2002. However, the low point was in 2010 when, as a coach of 1. FC Magdeburg, he did not get a new contract. "The financial reserves were quickly used up," revealed the 50-year-old.
During this time, Hans-Peter Finkbeiner, owner of a fashion label, helped him. He also paid the football teacher costs.

Baumgart also passes on these experiences to his players. "I have already said my boys in the cabin that I am someone who has also experienced other times," said the coach: "And that they have to be clear that they have the privilege of being a football professional. "
