Andy Reid

Though the job of coaching a team might seem less risky considering the injuries that players often have to deal with, motivating the players and bringing home the trophy is nowhere near an easy task. Intense Competition from another team and a few bad years of the game can end the career of a coach. Hence, it is riskier in that regard, and performance pressure is equally upon the coach as it is upon the players. Andy Reid is one such coach who has faced several ups and downs before finally winning the Super Bowl Championship 2020 after 21 years.

Andy Reid is an American Football Head Coach of the Kansas City Chiefs who won the Super Bowl Championship on Sunday i.e., February 02, 2020, against the San Fransisco 49ers by 31-20. It is his second Super Bowl since 1970. He is the 13^th head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs and joined the team in 2013.

The respected coach is not without controversies of his own despite his impeccable career. With the suspension of his players, drug use, and assaults by those under his wings to taking an ex-convict (Michael Vick) as a coaching intern, his association with controversial players has always made headlines.
