FC Bayern: Oliver Kahn apparently wants to rebuild the management team

Bayern Munich’s CEO Oliver Kahn apparently wants to rebuild the management team of the German record champions. That reports the Sports picture. In addition, board member Jörg Wacker is to be released.

In the course of the restructuring, Kahn is driving the “FC Bayern AHEAD project”. He presented the concept at his first board meeting as FCB boss. President Herbert Hainer is also considered a great supporter of the plan.

According to the report, the measures also have personnel consequences. Wacker, board member for internationalization and strategy, is to leave the association prematurely. A corresponding application has already been submitted to the Supervisory Board.

Wacker’s contract was extended by five years to 2024 in January 2019, but the 53-year-old is highly controversial internally. Honorary President Uli Hoeneß once brought him to the record championship.

Especially at the interpersonal level there should have been problems recently. Andreas Jung, ia Head of Marketing, and Jan-Christian Dreesen (54), ia Head of Finance, are said to have a tense relationship with Wacker. In general, the association is not satisfied with the internationalization.

Wacker gets loud inside the club Sports picture also said that he was aiming for the role of Dreesen as deputy chairman of the board. Now Jung (internationalization) and Dreesen (Merschandising) are to take over parts of Wacker’s activities. Kahn would take over the strategy area as chairman of the board.

FC Bayern: Kruger first “strong woman” at FCB?

In contrast to Wacker, Kathleen Krüger should play a bigger role at FCB in the future. The team manager is currently on parental leave, but will return at the beginning of next year.

Krüger will then complete a DFB program “Management in Professional Football”, which will last a year and a half. Her ex-trainer Hansi Flick arranged the place.

The national coach made contact with national team director Oliver Bierhoff personally. She could then also be given a new role within the club.

Krüger was Flick’s confidante, who had left the club at his own request in the summer because of the quarrel with sports director Hasan Salihamidzic. The 36-year-old and Salihamidzic have not always agreed in the past.
