Robert Schwan was a German football manager.
Schwan joined FC Bayern in 1962 as an honorary
Spielausschuss chairman. In 1964 he became the first full-time manager in German
football and at the same time a personal manager of Franz Beckenbauer . This
personal conflict of interests led Beckenbauer to Cosmos New York in 1977 to
Schwan's dismissal as Bayern manager. He was followed by Walter Fembeck .
Schwan later became a member of the Supervisory Board of Hertha BSC .
With its innovations, Schwan played a decisive role in the
rise of Bavaria Munich to the European top. His most famous sentence was
"I know only two sensible people: Robert Schwan in the morning and Robert
Schwan in the afternoon."
