Felix Latzke (born 1 February 1942, in Vienna) is an Austrian football (soccer) former player and manager.

Most notably he was co-manager of the Austria national football team in the 1982 FIFA World Cup, with Georg Schmidt, and was thus infamously credited for the Shame of Gijón , a somewhat dubious 0-1 loss to West Germany.

Total Football is a tactical system in association football in which any outfield player can take over the role of any other player in a team. Although Dutch club Ajax and the Netherlands national football team are generally credited with creating this system during the 1970s, there were other sides who had played a similar style before, such as the Austrian Wunderteam of the 1930s, English club Sunderland in the mid-1930s, the Argentine side "La Maquina" of River Plate in the 1940s, the Golden Team of Hungary in the 1950s, English team Burnley in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and Brazilian side Santos in the 1960s.
