David Wagner Makes List of Top 50 Coaches

David Wagner, the German-American soccer coach who led Huddersfield Town to promotion to the Premier League this year, has been named a top 50 manager by FourFourTwo.com. He isn’t exactly high on the list (okay, he’s last), but seeing an American coach get some recognition is welcome news. Wagner began his career coaching the Borussia Dortmund U-23 side and took the Huddersfield job in 2015. His first mission was to keep them in the second tier in England, but in two short seasons Wagner has managed to bring the team to the top flight.
