Coaching career

Trivia

Geyer is well known in Germany for his outspoken manners. While coaches usually wrap critical statements in media friendly euphemisms, he's known to speak his mind in a very forthright manner. Examples include:

"Manche junge Spieler haben eine Einstellung zum Leistungssport wie die Nutten auf St. Pauli. Die rauchen, saufen und huren rum, gehen morgens um 6 Uhr ins Bett."[2]

(Some young players tackle the sport like the whores at St. Pauli. They smoke, they drink, fuck around and go to bed at 6 in the morning)

"Die Fans wollen keine Spiele, bei denen man erkennt, dass manche Spieler nachher kein Deo brauchen."

(The fans don't want to see games where you can tell that the players don't need an antiperspirant afterward.)

"Wer so doof ist, gehört nicht in die Bundesliga."[2]

(Someone, who's so stupid doesn't belong in the Bundesliga.)
