OTTO REHHAGEL (2004)
An unlikely hero, the wily German, now 73, became a Greek god after crafting a remarkable victory in 2004.
Based on a rock solid defence, and a captain, Theo Zagorakis, from Leicester City, Rehhagel masterminded a remarkable triumph for the 100-1 outsiders.
Having edged through the group stage, three successive 1-0 victories made Greece the biggest shock winners of any international tournament - and they even bookended the championship with victories over hosts Portugal.
The secret to his success? Behind every great coach is a great coach’s wife and Otto's good lady Beate has been reported to go on scouting missions for him.
