Huddersfield boss David Wagner: My life's been transformed

Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner says his life has been transformed since their Premier League promotion.

Wagner is surprised at just how big the competition is around the world.

He said: “I was surprised how unbelievably strong the Premier League is produced around the whole world.

“The media work is extraordinary, much more than it was before.

“It's not only here, local, it's for America, not only for Germany, for Europe, for Asia, Australia.

“I could easily fill a whole day only with media work each week, with all the requests the club gets for me or for the players.

“This was a surprise for me. I was aware that this is a worldwide product, but it's shown very well around the world and produced across the whole world.

“I have much more work to do. Not the day-to-day work with the players on the grass, but my work here in the football club, and not only the media work – and yes, the media work has increased massively.

“But as well, especially in this football club, as you see, we have rebuilt the training ground and I am involved in a lot of the decisions.

“This means a lot of meetings about how we want to do it, our commercial department has more work, so sometimes I am involved in some commercial work.

“And of course, in my private life, it has changed as well, because more people recognise you or speak with you, to ask for autographs or selfies. Yeah, it changed of course."
