He was also a strong passer and striker of the ball with his left foot,[9][10][11][12]and stood out for his work-rate on the pitch, as well as his ability to interpret the game.[13][14]Considered to be a decisive player,[15]he is rated by pudits as one of the greatest midfielders in the history of the Bundesliga.[16]

FC Saarbrücken(November 1989 to June 1990), as well asBayer Uerdingen(July 1990 to January 1992), who were relegated from the first tier during Magath's time at the club.[17]
1992–2001: early coaching career
editMagath took up coaching in 1992 as aplayer-coachfor the fourth-tier clubFC Bremerhaven,which he led to division championship.[18][19]He then rejoinedHamburger SVas reserves coach in 1993,[20]and became managerBenno Möhlmann's assistant soon after.

FC Nürnbergwho were newly promoted to the 2. Bundesliga[28]and fighting relegation. His first match was a 0–0 draw againstKFC Uerdingen 05.[29]Der Clubfinished the season in third–place,[28][30]meaning promotion to the Bundesliga,[28]but Magath left due to differences in opinion with the club president Michael A. Roth.[citation needed]He finished with a record of 16 wins, eight draws, and five losses.[31]During a short stint atWerder Bremenduring the1998–99 season,Magath lead the club out of relegation places, only for Bremen to find themselves in the relegation dogfight again with two games to go. At this point he was replaced as manager byThomas Schaafwho helped them avoid relegation by a point.[28]Magath also helped Bremen get to the final of theDFB-Pokalhowever he was sacked before thefinalitself, which Bremen won in his absence.[32]He had nine wins, seven draws, and ten losses.[33]Halfway through the1999–00 season,Magath joined troubledEintracht Frankfurt.[34]An impressive Magath-inspired run saw Frankfurt finish the second round as third best[35]and four points off relegation.[28][36]Magath was sackedthe season after(29 January 2001)[34]when Frankfurt found themselves in the relegation zone.[37]His last match was a 5–1 loss to Köln.[38]He finished with record of 15 wins, five draws, and 17 losses.[34]
2001–2007: head coach at Stuttgart and Bayern
editMagath bounced back with what was to become one of his most successful stints when he took over fellow relegation battlersVfB Stuttgarta few weeks after. Having narrowly avoided relegation in 2001, Stuttgart finished the2001–02in a mid-table position. The club went then on to become2002–03 Bundesligarunners-up and finished the2003–04 seasonas respectable fourth. During this time, Magath also introduced a group of players from the Stuttgart youth ranks, such asTimo Hildebrand,Andreas HinkelandKevin Kurányi,who became known as"die jungen Wilden"(wild youth).[39]The Stuttgart stint was also the first time Magath combined the head coach and thedirector of footballroles.[40]He finished with a record of 73 wins, 37 draws, and 37 losses.[41]
Having impressed with Stuttgart, Magath was handed theFC Bayern Munichjob on 1 July 2004.[42]Inhis first season,Magath was able to lead his team to victory in both the league andcup,completingthe double,a feat which would be repeated in2005–06,the first time ever in the competition's history.[43]
