4) Jorg Berger
When and where: Arminia Bielefeld, 2009
Duration for which he was manager: 5 days
What happened?
Arminia Bielefeld were part of the Bundesliga in the 2008-09 season, but in danger of getting relegated with just one match to go. They simply had to win to avoid relegation, and to make matters worse, their manager was sacked a day before the last game of the season.
Who could the club turn in such turbulent times? Jorg Berger, who was known as the “fireman” of the Bundesliga on account of his knack of avoiding relegation, was the answer, and he was brought in for one game, to save the club.
Sadly, Berger’s magic did not work, and after the club lost the game and got relegated, he was relieved of his duties after just 5 days in charge.
