“Can’t hold back”
So Hoeneß always causes unrest in Bavaria

Player, manager, president: Uli Hoeneß shaped Bavaria in the past half century like nobody else. Otherwise he recently split the club rapidly.
The honorary president of the club had already signaled Müller at the premiere of his documentary “one like none” a few weeks ago that it was time to think about a career end. He considered his joker role to be “unworthy”.
Shortly before, Bavaria’s sports director Max Eberl had promised the player a new contract until 2026 – but the offer apparently disappeared from the table again after Hoeneß had expressed itself in this way.
Since his return to the club after his prison sentence in 2016, Hoeneß has been a formative figure on Säbener Strasse again. His opinion continues to have weight – even if she does not always ensure calm.
Sky expert Lothar Matthäus said: “I think Uli Hoeneß has always helped FC Bayern and will help, he built the club.” However, he also emphasized that Hoeneß had often caused unrest with his statements. “They lie on his tongue, and Uli just can’t hold back,” said Matthew.
At the beginning of Thomas Tuchel’s term in March 2023, the then coach also assured that he would take good care of Bayern – a sentence that was well received by Hoeneß. The honorary president initially stood behind the coach, but the ratio quickly cooled down due to differences in transfer questions.
Matthäus stated: “Things have gone somewhat differently in the past five years than is common for FC Bayern.” In particular, the club suffered greatly financially. Transfers, high salaries and severance payments have loaded the once filled fixed deposit account.
The consequences are noticeable: the construction of the training center on Säbener Straße was put on ice and the inflation compensation is to be suspended this year. In addition, the “Bild” newspaper reports that it will be checked exactly who would really have to go from the club to the club World Cup in summer-“for reasons of savings”.
At the same time, the record champion has ambitious goals. And not just on the pitch, but also on the transfer market. Top talent Florian Wirtz is to be brought to Munich in summer. The most important contact with the Wirtz family should be Uli Hoeneß, according to “Bild”.
