Tragic Fates

Behind football stand people — and sometimes fate strikes hard.

Walther Seinsch

The man who rehabilitated FCA and led the club back to professional football fell seriously ill.

In early 2010, Seinsch announced he was suffering from depression and took a leave of absence. On July 18, 2011, he revealed he was terminally ill with cancer. He died in 2013.

Helmut Haller

Augsburg's greatest son developed dementia and spent his final years in a care home.

Sometime between the ages of 60 and 70, doctors diagnosed dementia. By 72, the disease had progressed so far that the city's greatest son could no longer remember his glorious career. Haller died on October 11, 2012 in a care home in Augsburg-Kriegshaber.
