Right! What a beautiful footballing story. Fairytale-like. The guy who took them from fifth division back in 2007 and led them to Bundesliga. The guy who was only supposed to be an interim coach and ended up bening the longest serving coach in Germany. The fact he was born in the small town of Heidenheim and spent last years of his footballing career at the club makes it even more beautiful. But better share a lovely article about him that was written back in 2020.
Frank Schmidt is one of Germany's great coaches, but few know about the Heidenheim head coach. With the Bundesliga within touching distance, that might be about to change.
