FC Bayern: Oliver Kahn announces talks with top – is Michael Reschke coming?

Trouble about being out with the master

After the argument about his departure from FC Bayern, Oliver Kahn announced that he would have a clarifying meeting with the club’s top management. “We will sit down – when everything has cooled down – and talk about everything in peace,” said the 53-year-old “Picture”. He defended his behavior after the breakup: “I’m sure everyone can understand that I’m disappointed that I wasn’t with the team yesterday.”

FC Bayern made the separation from the previous CEO Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic public on Saturday immediately after winning the eleventh championship title in a row. Both were informed of the decision on Friday after a supervisory board meeting. Club President Herbert Hainer described the conversation with Kahn as “not consensual”.

The former national goalkeeper Kahn was not at the decisive game in Cologne on Saturday and also not at the championship celebration. Hainer justified this with the process on Thursday and Friday. Kahn had previously written on Twitter that he had been “prohibited by the club”. After two years as CEO at FC Bayern, Kahn does not see himself as a failure. “I took on this responsibility because I wanted to give something back to the club,” said the long-time Bayern keeper. “After the very successful time with Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, that was not an easy task.”

Nevertheless, Kahn looks back on his time with Munich with positive feelings: “The club is currently in a transitional phase, which is always difficult and in which mistakes sometimes happen. Even if the current situation is not easy, for me the many great experiences with FC Bayern far outweigh the negative ones.” And further: “The irritations of the last few days will not change that.”

FC Bayern: Is Michael Reschke coming for Hasan Salihamidzic?

As an interim solution for the sports director, who is also released, an old acquaintance could become a specific topic.
