King Otto (2021): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2021, King Otto is a documentary film directed by Christopher Andre Marks, running about 80 minutes.

What it’s about. In the summer of 2004, audiences looked on in disbelief as the Greek National Football Team, a country that had never previously won a single match or even scored a goal in a major tournament, took down the giants of world football to become the unlikeliest of European Champions. The architect behind this unprecedented triumph was legendary German football coach ‘King’ Otto Rehhagel. After accomplishing every major success in Germany, he made the bold decision to leave all he knew behind and work in a foreign country with the underachieving Greek National Team. This is the story of how these two contrasting cultures came together to speak the same language and write a new chapter of Greek mythology.

Who’s in it. King Otto stars Otto Rehhagel as Self, Traianos Dellas as Self, Vassilis Gagatsis as Self and Giorgos Karagounis as Self, among others.
