I pick my team based on penis size – German coach

A female German coach, Imke Wubbenhorst has said she selects her first team players based on their penis size.

Wubbenhorst, who made history in December by becoming the first woman to manage in Germany’s fifth tier when she took over at BV Cloppenburg

She told Welt how one journalist had asked her whether she warned players to put their pants on when she entered the dressing room.

“Of course not, I’m a professional,” she responded, sarcastically. “I pick my players based on their penis size.”

Wubbenhorst, who is former German youth international, is not the first female coach to face condescending or sexist questions.

Wubbenhorst, 30, had been in charge of Cloppenburg’s women’s team but the club decided she would be better placed helping the relegation-threatened men’s side.
