After the embarrassing quarter-finals in the Champions League, a lot is being put to the test at Bayern Munich. Criticism of CEO Oliver Kahn also seems to be growing.
As “Spox” From an insider, Kahn’s “unapproachability” is said to cause “annoyance and a bad mood” internally. According to this, the Bayern boss is only in contact with a few employees, and his office door is almost always closed. On Säbener Strasse, you know sometimes not even whether Kahn was still there or had already gone home, they say.
Even after the knockout against FC Villarreal (1: 1), Kahn seemed listless and distant. He said they would “not burst into tears” at Bayern Munich.
But there are critical tones not only on an interpersonal level, but also on a strategic level. “The hope was that he would come up with a clear concept after the years on hold, but that has not been the case so far,” “Spox” quoted the insider as saying: “The clear line is missing.”
FC Bayern: backing for Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic
Bayern President Herbert Hainer has recently publicly backed Kahn, as has sports director Hasan Salihamidzic.
“Both are aware of their responsibility and live up to it. They know what makes this club tick, what matters here, that’s in their DNA. When I looked at their faces after the Villarreal game, I saw there: now Especially,” he told the “Bild” newspaper.
Stefan Effenberg, on the other hand, found more critical words. “I hope and assume that Kahn and Salihamidzic speak plain language internally. It is crucial that they deal with this end in a tough manner. The players must be aware that they have to ask themselves: How did it happen? And what lessons Do I draw from it for the future?” Wrote the former FC Bayern professional in his “t-online” column.
