What happens when a garbage collector bluffs his way into becoming Manchester United’s manager? Meet Max Wizler—a hopelessly unqualified football dreamer whose outrageous lies, spectacular blunders, and unbelievable luck launch him on the wildest coaching career imaginable. From landing a job by pretending to be someone else, to surviving arrest in Apartheid South Africa, interrogation by the East German Stasi, coaching at gunpoint, and accidentally sharing a coaching role in North Korea without realising it, Wizler stumbles from one hilarious disaster to the next. But beneath the comedy lurks real danger: a relentless gunman, mysterious enemies, and the baffling disappearance of fellow coaches. Packed with globe-trotting adventure, outrageous mishaps, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, Max Wizler’s escapades prove that sometimes the biggest fraud can have the greatest story to tell.

They say football isn’t played on paper. Sam discovered early on that it wasn’t played particularly well by him on the pitch either. His attempt at coaching proved no more successful. He turned to writing and his passion for football, globetrotting adventures and comedy found better expression on the page than it ever had on the touchline. Sam leaves no stone unturned in researching the people, places and history that inspire his writing.
