Synopsis
Otto Rehhagel arrived in Athens in 2001 to lead the Greek National Football Team, which had little success in major tournaments. By 2004, the team, ranked 300-1, stunned the football world by winning the UEFA European Championship. Under Rehhagel's coaching, Greece defeated established teams, culminating in a victory against Portugal in the final. The documentary "King Otto" details this unexpected triumph and the collaboration between the players and their German coach, marking a significant moment in Greek football history.
