Shortly before the last game of the season, Dietmar Hamann once again lived up to his reputation as FC Bayern’s chief critic. The former national player hardly left a good hair on the Munich club leadership.
Only very few at FC Bayern should be satisfied with the 2021/2022 season, which ends on Saturday. The minimum goal of a German championship was achieved, but coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team fell well short of expectations in the cup competitions. And the club bosses didn’t always cover themselves with fame in their public image.
Reason enough for Dietmar Hamann, the FCB management to issue a devastating testimony to President Herbert Hainer, CEO Oliver Kahn and Sport Director Hasan Salihamidzic. Too many things went uncommented, the 48-year-old complained in an interview with the “Augsburger Allgemeine”.
“That was the case with the mistake in switching in Freiburg, at the escalated annual general meeting. I just don’t care enough about the leadership around Hainer, Kahn and Salihamidzic. And the consultants also see this leadership weakness and try to exploit it for themselves,” noted Hamann .
You need a finding phase in a newly composed club management. “But Kahn had his adjustment period at Rummenigge’s side and Salihamidzic was there before that,” emphasized Hamann: “When you run a club like this, you have to recognize the sources of conflict and react to them, otherwise the place will blow up in your face. “
Causa Lewandowski: Hamann expresses understanding for Bayern
Hamann does not blame the officials for the Robert Lewandowski case. The Pole is said to want to leave Bayern, Barca is considered the most promising candidate.
“If another club comes and offers him a three-year contract, what do you want to do?” said Hamann: “If Barcelona want to do it, they should do it. Then you look into each other’s eyes, they give themselves hand and it goes on.”
