A soccer fairytale comes true: How Willy Sagnol led Georgia onto the European stage

Who would have thought it possible? Georgia, led by Bayern legend Willy Sagnol, sensationally qualifies for Euro 2024 in Germany. A historic triumph that unites the country and puts the former FC Bayern star in the spotlight. After a nerve-wracking 4:2 penalty shoot-out win over Greece, Georgia, number 77 in the world rankings, made it into the history books of a major tournament for the first time. The night in Tbilisi turns into a stage of joy, while head of government Irakli Kobakhidze awards the players with the Order of Honor of Georgia. Sagnol himself, controversial yet tenacious, reminds us of the importance of time and patience for such successes. But with the European Championship in sight, he announces his departure, and the question of his successor remains exciting.
