The term of office of Bavaria President Herbert Hainer ends in November. The decision about his future is approaching. T-online knows a clear tendency.
This week, the FC Bayern club system on Säbener Strasse is unusually quiet. The national players are on the road with their selection teams and the remaining professional has released head coach Vincent Kompany for eight days. It is undoubtedly a deceptive calm before the storm in the crucial phase of the season, which Bayern is about after the international break.
The largest and most important personnel decisions were ticked off with the contract extensions by captain Manuel Neuer, Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala and finally Joshua Kimmich in good time. Even if there are a few more contracts at the end of the season, including those of Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané, Eric Dier or Sven Ulreich – Bayern’s focus is now on other, more superordinate things with regard to the future planning.
The work of those responsible is inevitably more and more. Important decisions must also be made at this level. Above all, this applies to the chairman of the supervisory board Herbert Hainer, whose current term as Bavaria President only runs until November.
So far, Hainer himself has been covered when it comes to the central question of whether he will start the presidential election again at the general meeting. As T-Online learned from the club’s closest management group, there is now a clear trend in Hainer’s future. The unanimous tenor, which can be heard, is: Hainer should stay and be voted as president again.
As can be heard, the 70-year-old is enormously valued internally especially for his quiet hand, with which he leads the club. Therefore, there is no reason from the club side that Hainer could stop or should.
The way for a third term as Bavaria President is actually free for Hainer. However, there is still a catch: Hainer himself, a correspondingly clear confession of wanting to go on, has so far been pending – at least public.
In 2019, Hainer took over Uli Hoeneß’s presidential post, who sees his declared successor to his desired successor. Hoeneß, like the former CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, continues to be a member of the nine-member supervisory board, which Hainer has been a member since its foundation in 2002, at that time as an adidas CEO.
