Hans-Hubert "Berti"Vogts (German pronunciation:[ˈbɛʁtiːˈfoːkts]; born 30 December 1946) is a German former professionalfootballer who played as adefender. He played forBorussia Mönchengladbach in theBundesliga hiswhole professional club career and won theFIFA World Cup withWest Germany in1974. He later managed the national teams ofGermany (winningEuro 96),Scotland,Nigeria andAzerbaijan.
Vogts joined the boys' football team of local sports club VfR Büttgen in 1954, at the age of seven, staying with them until his transfer in 1965 toBorussia Mönchengladbach. Aright back, his tenacity earned him the nickname "Der Terrier".[1]
He was one of the key players, along withRainer Bonhof,Herbert Wimmer,Uli Stielike,Allan Simonsen andJupp Heynckes, during Borussia's golden years in the 1970s, when it won theBundesliga five times, theGerman Cup once, and theUEFA Cup twice. Vogts also played in the1977 European Cup Final defeat byLiverpool.[2]
Vogts made 419 Bundesliga appearances for Mönchengladbach, scoring 32 times, and also appeared 64 times for the club in European competition, scoring eight goals. Vogts remained with Mönchengladbach, until he retired from playing in 1979.
Vogts played nine international boys' games for West Germany, made three appearances for the under 23s team, and has 96 seniorcaps, making him one of Germany's most capped players. He was captain for twenty of the senior games, scored one international goal and was also a member of the Germany national team that won the1974 World Cup.
Nicknamed "Der Terrier" for always fighting for every ball as if it were his last, Vogts was a big favourite with his home crowd. Vogts famously marked, and subdued,Johan Cruyff, in thefinal of the1974 World Cup in Munich, West Germany, won by West Germany 2–1.
During the match between West Germany and Austria on 21 June 1978, in the second round of the1978 FIFA World Cup, he scored an own goal, allowing Austria to beat West Germany for the first time in 47 years, and preventing West Germany from moving on to the next round. In Austria, this match is fondly known as theMiracle of Córdoba.
After his playing career ended, Vogts became coach of the West Germany under 21 national team, and continued in that role until 1990. Starting in 1986, he became an assistant manager of the senior national side. He was promoted to manager of Germany in August 1990, succeedingFranz Beckenbauer.
After winning the1990 FIFA World Cup Final the month before, Beckenbauer famously said that thereunified Germany will "probably be unbeatable for years",[3] a statement which turned out to be a burden for Vogts during the upcoming years. Although Vogts led the Germany national team to aEuro 1992 runner up finish and winning the next Euros in1996, twoWorld Cup quarter-final defeats in1994 and1998 are also on his sheet. He stepped down as manager in September 1998.[4]
In November 2000, after some time out of managing, he was appointed manager ofBayer Leverkusen. The following May, despite earning Bayer Leverkusen qualification for theChampions League, he was sacked.
Three months later, in August 2001, he became manager of theKuwait national team.[5]
Vogts resigned his position with Kuwait in January 2002, after six months in the post, to assume a similar position with theScotland national team.[6] Inqualifying forUEFA Euro 2004, Vogts took Scotland to a play off place, finishing second in their group to Germany. In the playoffs, Scotland were drawn against the Netherlands and Vogts led them to a 1–0 victory at Hampden Park, but the Netherlands beat Scotland 6–0 in the return leg.
The Scottish press became notably more hostile towards Vogts following a series of defeats in friendly matches. A 1–1 draw withMoldova in October 2004 essentially put paid to Scotland's hopes of qualifying for the2006 World Cup. Vogts resigned on 1 November, with a year and a half remaining on his contract, citing "disgraceful abuse".[7] Nine days after Vogts resigned, Scotland dropped to a record low of 77th place in theFIFA World Rankings.[8]
In January 2007, Vogts was appointed manager ofNigeria, and signed a four-year contract. Nigeria were eliminated in the quarter finals of the2008 African Nations Cup, which was their worst performance in the competition since1982.[9][10] Vogts resigned from his position in February 2008.[11]
In April 2008, he was appointed manager ofAzerbaijan, on a two-year contract.[12] In December 2009, he extended his contract withAFFA until the end of qualifying forUEFA Euro 2012, after successful results.[13][14] In March 2014, Vogts was appointed byJürgen Klinsmann as a special advisor to theUnited States, for the2014 World Cup.[15]
In October 2014, he resigned from his position as Azerbaijan manager,[16] after a 6–0 defeat against Croatia.[17][18] Azerbaijan had lost all of their first three matches inUEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group H.[18] Under Vogts, Azerbaijan had some poor results, not being able to win against second string sides, forcing Vogts to face major criticism from local supporters and the media.[19][20]
In March 2015, Vogts was appointed by the United States national team as a technical advisor.[21][22] After the dismissal of Jürgen Klinsmann, Vogts' employment also ended.[23]
