No comment: César Thier

César Thier has been working at TSG Hoffenheim since 2008. After hanging up his boots as a player, the likeable Brazilian joined the then newly-promoted Bundesliga club as goalkeeping coach. Since 2013, Thier has been the team supervisor at TSG, a role which has seen him help new signings to settle in and even work as an interpreter for South American players on numerous occasions in the past. In SPIELFELD, the 53-year-old gave an insight into his private life – all without uttering a single word.
