Bundesliga action seven years after he was sacked by Fulham following a series of bizarre managerial suggestions.The German boss failed in his task of keeping the west London side in the Premier League following the departure of Martin Jol - despite having previously lead both Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich to Bundesliga titles.The three-time German manager of the year has now been given a deal to coach Hertha Berlin until the end of the season - bringing up memories from his time in England.The most memorable tale came courtesy of Fulham icon Brede Hangeland, who went as far as saying that his former manager was an "awful human being".He said in 2017: "I always try to see the good in people.

But Magath was an awful human being."After losing one game, we got back home to Fulham at 1am. Yet he then forced us to run laps around between 1am and 2am.

It was absurd."With former Fulham skipper Danny Murphy saying on Match of the Day 2 of advice given to an injured Hangeland by Magath: "He got a lump of cheese, soaked in alcohol, and told him to leave it on overnight.

This is from the horse's mouth. I know the club doctor well."Would you try cheese on an injury? Give us your thoughts in the comments sectionMagath gave his own thoughts on that story a short while later, and insisted that it had been taken out of context while admitting some truth.He said: "I merely suggested it could be worth trying the old wives' tale of applying quark cheese to the injured area."These false-stories from the player Hangeland are rubbish.
