FC Bayern Munich Munich’s club patriarch
Matthäus’ urgent advice to Uli Hoeneß

The search for a coach at FC Bayern Munich is never-ending. For Lothar Matthäus, this is also due to the fact that the responsibilities at the Munich club are not clearly defined and too many people have a say. For example, the honorary president.
Lothar Matthäus sees a problem in the still great influence of Honorary President Uli Hoeneß on current events at FC Bayern Munich. “Max Eberl has a good network, has been there long enough, and we should let him do his thing now, but it’s probably the case that there are still people who no longer have an official role at Bayern. “First and foremost, I’m talking about Uli Hoeneß,” Matthäus wrote in his Sky column.
Hoeneß deserves the greatest respect for his achievements. “Nevertheless: you have to let go sometimes. He let go four years ago and installed Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic. “That was his idea at the time, which he pushed through because of his position, even though it was viewed critically by others,” said Matthäus. “Looking back, it wasn’t necessarily the best solution for FC Bayern, and maybe they’re getting involved now because they want to correct the mistake from back then.”
“Dismal end to a dismal Bayern season, also for Thomas Tuchel”
Great relief at Union Berlin, equally great sadness at 1. FC Köln and FC Bayern’s embarrassing end to the season: the 34th Bundesliga matchday once again delivered many stories. Walter M. Straten from the sports department assessed this at WELT TV.
FC Bayern, who only finished third in the Bundesliga this season and were eliminated in the semi-finals of the Champions League, are still looking for a coach for the new season. Leverkusen’s master coach Xabi Alonso, national coach Julian Nageslmann and Austria’s national coach Ralf Rangnick canceled the Munich team. Nothing came of Thomas Tuchel’s continued employment either.
The search for a coach at FC Bayern Munich is becoming “more and more bizarre”
The focus must now be on the future, demanded Matthäus. “And at some point other people have to be allowed to make decisions, because these disagreements in the club don’t help anyone. Coaches are canceling in droves, the fans are getting impatient, and Max Eberl is not to be envied.” For the 63-year-old, the Munich team’s search for a coach is “increasingly bizarre.”

Matthäus called on sports director Eberl to communicate aggressively within the club. “He has to make it clear to everyone that he is responsible for the sporting area and that Bayern will be without a coach next season if every one of his ideas is prevented because someone is against it,” said the Sky expert. Bayer Leverkusen is currently “one step ahead” for the new Bundesliga season.
