Not the first racism incident at FC Bayern

In the summer of 2020, a racism scandal shook the German industry leader. At the time, the WDR magazine “Sport Inside” published the chat history of a youth coach at FC Bayern, which put a heavy burden on him. Because of “clearly racist” content, even the Munich police and state security intervened.

“It was a shock for everyone! We had no idea that racist statements had been made – in a part of our campus. It was immediately clear to us that we had to investigate and clarify these allegations immediately,” said the NLZ leader Jochen Sauer in an interview with “tz” in November 2020 on the scandal.

Sauer also justified why the club only acted almost two months after the allegations became known and dismissed the coaches: “It always takes time to uncover processes that are and were hidden. The content of the chat group included thousands of posts, maybe some of them a dozen with racist content. In addition, a large number of interviews had to be conducted during the course of the investigation.” Ultimately, FC Bayern “acted consistently and correctly,” said Sauer.
