Hungary men’s national team coach Bernd Storck in running for prestigious German coaching award
Change language:
Hungary men’s national team coach Bernd Storck has been named as a contender for a prestigious award in recognition of his work abroad which has strengthened German football’s reputation.
The Ambassador of German Football prize, established in 2012, is awarded annually to those Germans involved in football abroad who achieve exceptional results and through their behaviour and status as a role model post a positive image of Germany and stengthen the country’s footballing tradition. Former winners include Jürgen Klinsmann and this year three names are in the frame for the award, Bernd Storck being joined by Michael Krüger who has achieved serious success in Africa and Horst Kriete who is a FIFA instructor.
“It is a huge honour for me to be recognised as a candidate”, Mr Storck said. “Everyone knows the traditions of German football and during the course of my work I am always very conscious of the fact I am not only representing myself but also my home country. I try to pass on what I learnt in Germany and work in a manner worthy of representing my country”, said Mr Storck before his receipt of a certificate marking the achievement, the 54-year-old then adding that leading Hungary to last year’s knockout stages of the UEFA European Championship in France was a great result and the pinnacle of his coaching career so far.
