At FC Bayern, the house blessing is going wrong after the series of bankruptcies. Lothar Matthäus now expressed doubts about the club’s management – and suggested a personnel earthquake.
“I think you have to make clear decisions. If you stand by Thomas Tuchel, then you shouldn’t make your future dependent on the next game against Leipzig, but rather say that you’ll follow the path with him until the end of the season. No matter what happens “, wrote Matthäus in his “Sky” column.
After the 2-3 defeat at VfL Bochum, Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen made it clear that coach Tuchel would also be on the bench on Saturday against RB Leipzig (6:30 p.m.). Basically, he doesn’t think anything of “these monstrous statements of support for coaches.”
Matthäus continued to criticize those responsible at FC Bayern. “When Franz Beckenbauer gave a banquet speech after a lost game, it was as quiet as a mouse. Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge also woke up the players, but who does that today? Where is the sporting competence in the current executive suite?” he questioned Record national player.
Matthäus misses sporting competence at FC Bayern
There are successful people from finance in the management team who, according to Matthäus, do “outstanding work”. “They are right there, but next to them I lack the sporting skills. Which of them won championships as players?” said the 62-year-old: “No one comes from football or has achieved something great as a footballer. It is no one there to bring the smell of the stable with them.”
In the course of this, Matthäus also suggested bringing back ex-players: “Why aren’t former players like Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger or Arjen Robben involved? If I want, I’ll approach these strong personalities at FC Bayern and find a position for them .”
A personnel shake-up around Uli Hoeneß, whose word still carries a lot of weight in Munich, would also be advisable for FC Bayern. “I believe that Hoeneß is still needed. But as long as Uli doesn’t let go, no one else can develop,” emphasized Matthäus.
The ex-Bayern professional has hopes for Max Eberl, who will be the sports director at FC Bayern from March. “With Max comes someone who has already done an excellent job as the person responsible for sport in the Bundesliga,” praised Matthäus, but qualified: “He has a past with the club, but he alone is not a savior and he is not the face of Bayern either. “
