Berti Vogts is distancing himself from his long-term club Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The 1974 world champion and later national coach found clear words shortly before his 75th birthday on December 30th out of annoyance about what he believed to be a distant dealings by the Bundesliga club with old stars.
“It occurs to me that I should have done a few things differently in my career. That I have remained loyal to a club for 14 years that no longer wants to have much to do with its legends, which I think I have before It is mainly due to the president. Scary for me “, he complained in an interview with the editorial cooperation” G14plus “.
For six years he has been buying two season tickets himself for Borussia games, which he remained loyal to in his professional career from 1965 to 1979.
Gladbach issue “done” for Berti Vogts
“Otherwise I don’t want to have anything to do with the club. The exception is Rainer Bonhof, who is vice-president. I don’t talk to him about the club,” said Vogts.
Even a mediation from Bonhof, with whom Vogts has been friends since playing together, could no longer mend the burdened relationship.
“The subject is settled for me,” said Vogts. “We had a great time: a village club turned into a top club. Today I’m annoyed that I didn’t listen to Franz Beckenbauer. He wanted to bring me to Munich and later to Cosmos New York.” The move to Mönchengladbach in 1965 was “the right decision”.
