Nagelsmann wanted to buy Benko’s villa

“Hello, one question, are you still selling a house on Lake Garda?” The email exchange between the national coach and René Benko is Dietl satire – and a farewell to a building style.

Before we get to the misery of contemporary villa architecture and Julian Nagelsmann, to late-night emails to René Benko and the question of whether the current German national coach may have grown up with a view of a sauerkraut factory in his backyard, we must briefly recall Helmut Dietl’s TV series “Kir Royal”. The series, which is crazy in the best sense of the word, comes from the 1980s, just like the national coach. An update would show: everything has become even crazier.
