After Bayern’s 3-1 defeat in Mainz, which resulted in the loss of the table lead, he was suddenly back: Uli Hoeness (71) appeared on the training field a day later.
Gesticulating wildly and impulsively, he talked with coach Thomas Tuchel (49) for almost fifteen minutes. What that means can only be speculated. One thing is clear: Hoeness continues to be a major influence at Bayern Munich.
Involved in coaching decisions
In 2019, he resigned as president of Bavaria and would only act as an “ordinary member of the supervisory board” and honorary chairman. From now on, decisions must be made by others. But also when Thomas Tuchel was presented as the new coach at Bayern at the end of March, he also mentioned Uli Hoeness in his acceptance speech. “It was very important for me to speak to him on the phone before signing. I wanted to let him know that I am doing my best to take good care of his club,” Tuchel explained.
Words that caused a stir and were well received by Hoeness: “His press conference was a form of expression ready to be printed, that’s Bayern Munich!” The 71-year-old was thrilled. According to Eurosport, Hoeness was closely involved in the dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann (35) and the hiring of the “ideal solution” Tuchel.
Hoeness wants Kolo Muani
And the 1974 world champion also has to keep a close eye on transfers. As Sky writes, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic (46) often asked the Bayern icon early about transfer ideas and got his opinion. This is also the case with the rush hour decision this summer. Accordingly, Hoeness is currently pushing for a transfer from Frankfurt clipper Randal Kolo Muani (24). The also hotly debated name Harry Kane (29) is in his eyes too old and too expensive. He also informed Thomas Tuchel of this.
One thing is certain: no major transfer will take place on Säbener Strasse without the consent of Uli Hoeness. Because if the transfer fee of a player exceeds 25 million euros, the transfer must be approved by the supervisory board, which also includes Hoeness.
Confidence in Kahn is sinking
And what does Hoeness think of the bosses? Despite the sporting crisis and increasingly loud public criticism, sports director Salihamidzic still enjoys his support and is protected internally, writes Eurosport. Salihamidzic was appointed sporting director by Hoeness in 2017.
With Oliver Kahn (53), the situation is different: the CEO had to run to Hoeness in the summer and President Herbert Hainer (68) to justify his public appearance that did not suit Hoeness. The current crisis season does not make the relationship any easier: Hoeness’s confidence in Kahn is said to have fallen enormously.
Hoeness is therefore still the jack of all trades at Bayern, almost the red eminence who holds and directs everything in the background. However, experts consider an official return of Hoeness to the day-to-day business of Bavaria almost impossible. (byl)
