After Bayern Munich’s exit from the Champions League, rumors are circulating about the future of club boss Oliver Kahn. He is now combative. He doesn’t worry about his contract, it’s “always about Bayern Munich”.
According to his own statement, Bayern boss Oliver Kahn is not concerned with the rumors about an alleged possible farewell to the German record champion. “I’m not wasting a second at the moment worrying about my contract, it’s always about FC Bayern,” the 53-year-old told the “Bild” newspaper.
After the end of the Champions League on Wednesday, Kahn reiterated his goal “to bring FC Bayern back to exactly where it belongs: to the top in all competitions. We will turn every stone for that.”
Bayern were eliminated on Wednesday against Manchester City after a 3-0 loss in the first leg through a 1-1 draw in the second game in Munich for the third time in a row in the quarter-finals of Europe’s premier class. The team of new coach Thomas Tuchel is also no longer in the DFB Cup.
In the course of the sporting setbacks, the role and responsibility of sports director Hasan Salihamidzic and CEO Kahn is also being discussed. The explosive situation was heated up by a tweet by Norwegian TV expert and ex-national player Jan Aage Fjörtoft, who fueled speculation about Kahn’s future. Its replacement is “a matter of time,” wrote Fjörtoft. The club president and chairman of the supervisory board of Bayern, Herbert Hainer, contradicted: “No, these rumors are not true.”
