From the source
Union Berlin head coach Mauro Lustrinelli has found himself at the centre of an amusing German television mishap. The 50-year-old Swiss trainer became the subject of a question on RTL’s popular quiz show Wer wird Millionär?
(Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?), with a contestant from Augsburg failing to identify the Bundesliga coach and leaving with just €500. The incident occurred during Monday evening’s programme, hosted by veteran German television personality Günther Jauch.
“Who became Union Berlin’s head football coach in July?” The four possible answers were Igor Spassikowski, Mauro Lustrinelli, Erling Gaudigaard, and Jimmy Sexyhexi. Petrik admitted that none of the names sounded familiar.
