Coaching earthquake on the Bayern campus
FC Bayern unexpectedly parted ways with U19 coach Michael Hartmann on Monday evening. The separation was the result of a “thorough analysis of the situation,” as the Munich-based team announced in a club statement.
René Maric will be his successor, a coach who was already employed by the Munich team as team leader for coach development and game philosophy. “We are very happy that he has now agreed at short notice to also take over the U19 team. We wish him every success in his tasks over the next few months,” Bayern’s sports director Christoph Freund was quoted as saying.
After Davies’ shock: The star has been missing from Bayern for that long
FC Bayern will apparently have to do without full-back Alphonso Davies for a while. The top performer twisted his knee in the final phase of the 3-1 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach and had to be substituted. Now an exact downtime should also be determined: Davies will apparently not only miss the upcoming Bundesliga clash against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday (from 6.30 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online).
Because as the TV broadcaster Sky has learned, Davies will have to take a break for two to three weeks. In addition to the duel with Leverkusen, he would also miss the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Lazio.
According to the report, there is hope for a return for veteran Joshua Kimmich (shoulder injury) and central defender Dayot Upamecano (torn hamstring). Both professionals were injured in the catch-up game against Union Berlin at the end of January.

Harry Kane: “That was crazy”
Last Sunday the fan club meeting was scheduled at FC Bayern. The record champions’ players traveled through the state and visited various of the club’s fan clubs. Harry Kane was also out and about – and had a special afternoon, as he said himself. “It was really a bit crazy,” he told the English newspaper The Guardian in an interview.
But for him it was a positive experience. “This is the first time I’ve done something like this. You see the fans in the stadiums, but here we were an hour and a half drive from Munich. I didn’t know what to expect, but the reception I received, was incredible and I really appreciate it.”

Defensive hope for FC Bayern
Noussair Mazraoui was eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations with Morocco. His team lost 2-0 against South Africa on Tuesday evening. The right-back is returning to FC Bayern, which should give coach Thomas Tuchel hope for the defense. Because the German record champions are currently decimated there.
Mazraoui arrived at the Africa Cup of Nations injured after tearing a muscle bundle and missed the preliminary round entirely. Now he will be able to attack again in Munich and also has new competition with Sacha Boey. FC Bayern recently signed the right-back.

Kimmich will also be missing from FC Bayern in the next game
Bayern Munich may also have to do without Joshua Kimmich in the Bundesliga summit against league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. “It certainly won’t be enough for the midfield boss to play against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday (3:30 p.m. in the t-online live ticker), sports director Christoph Freund said on Tuesday.
When asked whether Kimmich would also be missing from the title rivals the following week, Freund explained that Kimmich’s injured shoulder “needs to be immobilized. We hope that it is for a foreseeable period of time and we will see how it develops.”
