Ralph Vogel

31 years. One club. 1,543 games, 1,058 won. Total time in the job: 11,304 days. Time spent on holiday: 26. 0.23%. My assistant has raised this with me more than once.

Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal. Back to back. 1,543 games, 68% won. One club since 2019, in the town I was born in. Contract runs to 2052. Don't intend to need another one.

Club's all-time best eleven has been published. I signed all eleven of them. Thorup, 474 games, 343 goals. Castro, 350 and 259. Mazzuco, 108 from the right. Caruso, 364 in midfield and 102 goals. Sokolik, 433 at centre back. Samuel Viljanen played 546 times for me and isn't in it. 31 years. That's not a highlight reel, that's the list.

Bundesliga. DFB-Pokal. German Supercup. Fourth title in a row. 65,187 a game, 97% of the ground, 25 players used all season. Went out of Europe in the quarter-final to Leipzig. Have a guess which of those four things I've thought about most this week.

Dortmund in the final. 0-0. Penalties. 31 years at this club and I still had to turn round and look at the crowd instead of watching them.

Bundesliga champions. German Supercup as well. 30 years at this club. I genuinely can't tell any more whether the ones that mean the most are the trophies or the seasons we stayed up.

Signal Iduna Park, 81,365 in, and we won 5-0 to take the title. Gjerde 43. Caputo 47 and 81. Thorup 80. Epstein 84. Away from home, on the day it was decided. 74 points. Leipzig 73. One point across 34 games and nine months. Bayern finished 6th.

1,400 games. Kaltenbach has told the press that everything that happens at this club comes from me. 15 league titles. 34 cups. German Head Coach of the Year eleven times. I was 20 when I walked in here and had no idea what I was doing. Fairly confident I've worked most of it out since.

1,100 games, all at one club. 11 league titles, 23 cups. German Head Coach of the Year eight times. December 2019: this board would not spend €15,000 on a coaching course for me. I've never brought it up with them. Not once.

Eintracht Frankfurt 2 Kaiserslautern 5. Pokal retained. Simon 10, Mazzuco 56, Savchenko 57 and 82, Castro 76. Guirassy got both of theirs and it never once felt close. Barcelona on Wednesday, neutral ground. I'd like to enjoy tonight and I already know I won't.
