Pfister Denies he is a Drunk, but Can’t Escape ‘Worst Dressed Man’ Label

By: WC Bob | June 16th, 2006 | 4 Comments »

The wonderfully strange saga of Togo coach Otto Pfister took another unexpected, yet delightful, turn this week when the coach threatened to sue the secretary general of Togo’s Football Association after he called Pfister a drunk following Togo’s opening match loss to South Korea. This drama follows a week in which Pfister first quit his job over a pay dispute only to return to the bench in time for the South Korea match. Let’s see, erratic behavior that effects job peformance. That is one of the warning signs that a person drinks too much, but we are really in no position to say if that is the case with Pfister.

But we would like to think the man has an excuse for showing up on the Togo bench looking like he just rolled out of bed after clubbing until 4am. How else could you explain those jeans and open chested button down shirt?

We eagerly await Pfister’s wardrobe choice for the Switzerland match if he decides to show up.

lol! But Hiddink looks like a drunk, too. ;) Maybe it’s all in the type of beer they drink that affects team management.

[...] You can say what you want about Togo’s play on the pitch during the World Cup, but there is no denying that off the pitch this has been one of the more interesting teams. First their coach quit the team a couple of days before their opening match. Then he returned to the sidelines only to be called a drunk by one the country’s football association heads. Now there is some question as to whether the team will even show up for Monday’s match against Switzerland in Dortmund. [...]
