Management career
After his playing career ended, he became a coach for Germany's under-20 national team, and continued in that role until 1990. Starting in 1986, he became an assistant manager of the senior national side. In 1990, he was promoted to manager of the national team, leading Germany to a EURO 96 win before leaving in 1998. After some time out of managing, he became manager of the Kuwait national team in August 2001.
After six months with Kuwait, Vogts resigned to assume the position of manager of the Scottish national team. During his two and a half tenure there, the Scots' international record was poor, with home defeats by Norway and Hungary, and a humiliating defeat by the team of the tiny Faroe Islands. An October 2004 draw with Moldova essentially put paid to Scotland's hopes of qualifying for the Football World Cup 2006, and Vogts came under renewed criticism and pressure to resign. He resigned the following month, with a year and a half remaining on his contract, citing "disgraceful abuse" from the fans and the media.
