Otto Rehhagel (German: [ˈɔtoː ʁeːˈhaːɡl̩]; born 9 August 1938 in Essen) is a German football coach and former football player. Along with Helmut Schön, Ottmar Hitzfeld, Udo Lattek and Hennes Weisweiler, he is considered one of the most successful German managers.
Rehhagel is one of only two persons, the other one being Jupp Heynckes, who, as player and as manager combined, has participated in over 1000 Bundesliga matches. In the Bundesliga, he holds the records for the most victories (387), most draws (205), most losses (228), and his teams have scored the most goals (1473) and conceded more (1142) than any other.
Internationally, Rehhagel coached the Greece national team from 2001 to 2010 in what has been the nation's most successful footballing era – during that period, the Greek team won the 2004 European Championship and qualified for the 2010 World Cup, their second ever World Cup finals participation.
Rehhagel began his playing career with local club TuS Helene Altenessen in 1948 before moving to Rot-Weiss Essen (1960–63), after the start of the Bundesliga for Hertha BSC (1963–65), and until 1972 for Kaiserslautern. He played 201 games in the Bundesliga. As a player, Rehhagel was known as a tough-as-nails defender.
In 1974, he took charge of Kickers Offenbach, but failed to make an immediate impact as a manager. Most famously, while in charge of Borussia Dortmund in 1978, he suffered a historic, record-setting 12–0 loss to Borussia Mönchengladbach, after which the tabloids called him Otto Torhagel ("Tor" means goal in German, and "Hagel" means a hailstorm). In 1980, Rehhagel won his first trophy as a manager, when his Fortuna Düsseldorf side won the German Cup.
