Spicy details about Oliver Kahn (53) leaving FC Bayern!
In the minutes of the triumph of winning the eleventh championship, it became official on Saturday that the club was separating from boss Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic (46).
In the BILD TV program “Lage der Liga” football insider and columnist Alfred Draxler has now revealed that Kahn is said to have completely freaked out after his exit!
Draxler: “The colleagues in Munich – to perhaps shed some light on the background – report to us that when Uli Hoeneß and Herbert Hainer announced these resignations, Oliver Kahn is said to have completely freaked out.”
It all happened on Friday. Draxler: “The supervisory board meeting scheduled for Tuesday was brought forward, at least on this one point. And then Oliver Kahn must have completely freaked out.”

Next: “Not yet confirmed. It’s still just a rumor. But that’s how it should have been, whereupon FC Bayern said, ‘Then we don’t want to see you in the stadium and at a championship celebration’.”
Unlike sports director Salihamidzic, who was sitting in the VIP stand alongside President Herbert Hainer and Kahn’s successor Jan-Christian Dreesen, Kahn was absent from the game in Cologne (2-1) in the stadium and was not allowed to attend the championship celebrations be.
Kahn explained on Saturday: “I was forbidden to travel to the game in Cologne and to attend the championship celebrations from the club.”
Bayern President Herbert Hainer (68) explained Kahn’s dismissal in the official statement as follows: “The decision to part with Oliver Kahn was anything but easy for the supervisory board. Nevertheless, due to the overall development, we have come to the decision to make a new appointment at the top of the Management Board.”
The “previous deputy chairman of the board Jan-Christian Dreesen” takes over for Kahn, as the Bavarians announced. The long-standing CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (67) will probably come to the supervisory board and help with squad planning.
