Dr. Jozef Venglos coached on three continents, received the prestigious FIFA Order of Merit in Ruby, and was the first non-Briton coach ever to manage a top division club in England.

A unique film project for all football fans. Jozef Vengloš has coached on three continents, holds the prestigious FIFA Ruby Order award and was the first foreign manager to work in the English league. Jozef Vengloš has finally received the honour he deserves. The film documentary Joe the First pays respect, reverence and gratitude to the exceptional coach for everything he has done for Slovak, Czechoslovak and European football. The film features football legends Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsène Wenger, José Mourinho, Roy Hodgson and UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin. The Czechoslovakian legends recall his refinement, achievements and humanity and admit that he was ahead of his time. The documentary makers focused on the almost forgotten fact that he was the first foreign coach in the cradle of football, as he accepted the challenge of being manager of Aston Villa FC.

Slovakia is a hockey nation. The land of Stanley Cup winners and world champions. However, the stellar generation is over and there are no successors. The home World Cup 2019 brought new hope. The matches of the Slovak national team were given to Košice for the first time, and for the East it was a unique chance to ignite passion in the new generation of fans. The film maps four months before the start of the championships in the lives of two people. World champion from 2002 Ladislav Nagy, who has pursued a career because of the World Cup and wants to say goodbye to it at home in Košice. And Jonáš Pahuli, a beginning hockey player, for whom the championship is a unique chance to see big hockey live and, thanks to that, to kick their own career.
