National coach: Hansi Flick writes about his wife’s cancer

Football coach Flick has gone under the authors. In his book he speaks highly of his wife.

National soccer coach Hansi Flick has made public a serious illness of his wife Silke from twelve years ago. In 2010, she was “diagnosed with breast cancer,” the 57-year-old writes in his book “In the Moment – About Success, the Beauty of the Game and What Really Matters in Life,” from which “Bild” printed the first excerpts.

“I was scared like I had never felt before. Being there for them and the children was even more important than usual. I received unique support from the DFB during this phase and was able to withdraw for a certain time,” writes Keep flicking. He still admires his wife to this day, “with what strength and inner calm she mastered the difficult situation. I lay in bed with tears in my eyes much more often than she did.”

After this experience, the national coach no longer takes sporting defeats so personally. He learned: “There are things that are bigger and more important than football.”

– Hansi Flick/Jonathan Sierck: At the moment: About success, the beauty of the game and what really counts in life, 224 pages, 20.00 euros, Riva-Verlag, ISBN 978-3-7423-2126-8.
