The club bosses of FC Bayern met on Tuesday morning to hold their regular board meeting. The most recent issues of controversy surrounding Captain Manuel Neuer were also on the agenda, and he recently spoke out in public with an unusually critical interview. According to a media report, the FCB bosses around President Herbert Hainer and CEO Oliver Kahn are said to have also discussed the best possible time for direct crisis talks with everyone involved.
As the “Bild” says, the decision-makers of the German record champions are said to have agreed to sit down at the table with head coach Julian Nagelsmann and the frustrated captain Manuel Neuer on February 15 at the earliest.
The background is that the Champions League round of 16 first leg at Paris Saint-Germain on February 14 (from 9 p.m.) should be given the utmost attention and concentration.
According to the wishes of the Bayern bosses, there should be no more disruptive fire from outside until then. The game at PSG is generally considered the most important game of the season for Munich to date, on which the further course of the entire season could depend.
Fine against Manuel Neuer is still in the room
According to the newspaper, there should be an “internal decision” at club board level, according to which the crisis talks between the bosses, Nagelsmann and Neuer should only be scheduled after the Paris game.
Manuel Neuer recently publicly expressed his annoyance and disappointment at the separation of FC Bayern from long-time goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalovic.
The FCB managers around board boss Oliver Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic then spoke of behavior that was damaging to the club and reserved the right to impose personal sanctions on newcomers, such as fines.
Now it will probably take at least a day after the duel with Messi, Neymar, Mbappé and Co. before the difficult Causa Neuer is finally clarified.
