Despite the eleventh German championship in a row, FC Bayern Munich is not calming down. Shortly after the 2-1 win against Cologne, it appeared that CEO Oliver Kahn (53) and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic (46) would be relieved of their duties.
The two would have learned of their release on Thursday. According to “Sport Bild”, they had to trot one after the other in the apartment of Bayern Honorary President Uli Hoeness (71) in Munich. Chairman Herbert Hainer (68) was also there.
Emotional conversations
The divorce with sports director Salihamidzic is said to have gone smoothly and an agreement was quickly reached. Not so with Kahn. The former goalkeeper did not accept the divorce and insisted on “taking advice”. He also accused the supervisory board of not supporting him for weeks.
“The conversations with Oliver didn’t go very well, they were emotional,” Hainer later said of the conversation with Kahn. This is one of the reasons why he was eventually banned from traveling to Cologne for the away game.
Ultras took on Kahn
As Hoeness told the “Kicker”, the club’s image suffered greatly from Kahn’s actions.
The die-hard fans would have seen it this way: according to Hoeness, the south corner of Bayern and the Ultra association Schickeria reported to the club and were clearly against the CEO. Even banners in the fan curve would have been part of a “campaign” against Kahn.
“Every decision was negatively attached to him”
Kahn continues to receive support from his own family. In an interview with TV channel Sky, his brother Axel poisoned Bayern’s leadership and strengthened Kahn’s back. “The manner of the breakup was disrespectful, disgusting and cowardly.” However, this is “nothing new at Bayern”.
According to Axel Kahn, his brother was also mistreated in the media: “Oliver was dragged through the dust for months. Every decision was negatively attached to him. That was too much.”
His brother is doing quite well given the circumstances, he has now earned the chance to recover, says Axel Kahn. Rest that would do the whole club good after such a wild season. (byl)
