The late football coach Christoph Daum is remembered by Minister-President Henrik Wüst as a straight-talking personality who was either liked or tolerated. Daum was an excellent coach for 1. FC Köln and Bayer Leverkusen, who fought his cancer until the end.
Bernd Neuendorf, President of the DFB, and former rival Uli Hoeneß praised Daum as a pioneer of modern football and a passionate advocate for the sport. Daum's career was marked by highs and lows, including a legendary cocaine scandal, but he remained an inspiration until the end.
Despite his disputes, Daum made peace with Hoeneß before his death. Daum's impact on German football was praised by DFL Managing Director Marc Lenz.
Daum's death is a loss for the German football community, but his legacy will live on.
