Is the new FCA coach Manuel Baum the kind of guy you can steal horses with? We don't know. What we do know is that he's definitely the kind of guy you can buy horses with!

The interim coach of the Fuggerstadt team once grandly promised his daughter Noemi a horse if he ever reached 100 Bundesliga games on the sidelines. He recently revealed this on "Blickpunkt Sport" on 'Bayerischer Rundfunk'.

Already on Saturday, the 46-year-old could hit the 100 mark against Eintracht Frankfurt. And then it's off to the riding stable!

Baum takes it with humor but already mentions having to "sort something out at home." Fathers know this problem!
