We love David Wagner. David Wagner is insane and fun and now he's in the Premier League. The German-American manager, whose best friend is Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, has led Huddersfield Town to the Premier League after winning a penalty shootout in the promotion playoff final against Reading.
Despite a negative goal differential in the regular season, Huddersfield Town wormed their way into the promotion playoff, then won shootouts against Sheffield Wednesday and Reading.
Now that the improbable has become reality, the real work begins. Huddersfield Town will begin the EPL season as heavy favorites for relegation. However, any coach who makes his team live in the woods in Sweden during preseason, which David Wagner actually did, shouldn't be bet against.
