Hans Hubert "Berti" Vogts (born 30 December 1946, Büttgen, Germany) is a former German international football player and manager.
Playing career
Vogts joined the boys' football team of local sports club VfR Büttgen when he was nine, staying with them until his 1965 transfer to Borussia Mönchengladbach. He was one of the key figures during Borussia's golden years in the 1970s, when it won the Bundesliga five times, the German Cup once, and the UEFA Cup twice. Vogts made 419 Bundesliga appearances for Mönchengladbach, scoring 33 times. His tenacity earned him the nickname "Der Terrier". He also appeared 64 times for the club in European competition, scoring 8 goals. Vogts remained with Mönchengladbach until he retired from playing in 1979.
He was also a member of the German national team that won the 1974 World Cup. Overall he played 9 international boys' games for West Germany, made 3 appearances for the under-23s team, and has 96 senior caps, making him one of Germany's most capped players. He was captain for 20 of the senior games, and scored one international goal.
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.
