The crisis in Bayern is living one of its greatest moments. The controversial decision to do without Julian Nagelsman and give the group address to Thomas Tuchel did not report the expected results and since then the Bavarian team seems to be installed in the eye of the storm.
With early elimination from the Cup added debacle to Champions in the hand of City of Manchester, who was superior to the German champion from the start of the tie. If the decision appealed to cause a reaction in the league, the defeat against Mainz last weekend left them Tuchel without a leader, something that generated a torrent of criticism that put two legends of Bayern: Oliver Kahn and Lothar Matthaus.
Kahn, who holds the position of General Director of the club, is the target of intense criticism from Matthauswho did not bite his tongue in the statements to Sport Bild.
“Any moment something can happen that was not expected three or four months ago. It’s clear Oliver Kahn he lost control. I also expect more leadership from Herbert Hainer (the president of the club). In retrospect, the signings of Salihamidzic (the sports director) is not as good as one thought”, he began by pointing out Matthauswho said Kahn didn’t have the media presence or left hand to connect with fans, something his predecessor had, Karl Heinz Rummenigge.
“Oliver Kahn is invisible to employees in offices! He has other kinds of interests; family, he likes to relax, he likes to play golf… Suddenly he has to manage a company in the middle of a crisis: it’s a new world for him. You may be underestimating it. In Munich, people live for Bayern and suffer with their club. I notice it at breakfasts, in street conversations. But Oliver is not there, so maybe he has no idea what really moves the fans,” Matthäus emphasized.
Kahn has no intention of resigning
For his part, Oliver Kahn He held on to his position after Bayern’s defeat at Mainz. “I have no problem with criticism. I’ve been through a lot in my career and I know what it means when things don’t go well at Bayern Munich. We are all responsible, you just have to face it now. But I won’t give an inch here. Despite this poor performance, we can be German champions again this season.”
