My dad's a former Premier League manager – now I'm making my own way as a TV presenter covering football | The Sun

AS the old saying goes, the apple does not fall far from the tree.

It is something which seems to be particularly apparent in sport, with the latest example of this coming out of Germany with the daughter of former Premier League manager David Wagner.




The former Huddersfield and current Norwich boss has been followed into the football industry by daughter Lea.

Lea, 29, is a TV presenter for German channel Sportschau.

She studied cross media editing at Stuttgart Media University, graduating in 2016.
