FC Bayern Munich, News: Matthäus sees Kahn weakened by Hoeneß
The reports of a possible dismissal of Oliver Kahn as Bayern’s CEO at the next supervisory board meeting on May 22nd are not coming to an end. On Thursday, Bayern patriarch Uli Hoeneß – a member of the supervisory board – attended Thomas Tuchel’s training session and had a lively chat with him.
For Lothar Matthäus a further weakening of Kahn’s position. “It’s definitely not a good sign for the management that he has to leave Tegernsee to go to Munich and then speak demonstratively on the pitch with the coach before training,” said Matthäus sky. “A sign to Oliver Kahn – and not a good sign, I would say.”
Matthäus continues: “Of course he weakens Oliver Kahn with that. He sent a signal to Kahn. You have to be more active, you have to approach people. That’s Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich is a community and you have to talk to each other. I think Uli Hoeneß was not satisfied, as Oliver Kahn demonstrated to the outside world.”
Kahn himself had recently appeared calm about the discussions about himself: “I concentrate 100 percent on my work. And that now means: How can we become German champions? Everything else doesn’t interest me,” he said in an interview on Friday with Munich Mercury/tz.

FC Bayern Munich, rumor: Nagelsmann too expensive for Tottenham
Julian Nagelsmann is according to the English daily TheTelegraph the favorite for the coaching post at Tottenham Hotspur. However, according to the report, the Spurs have problems financing the German’s commitment.
Because Nagelsmann is officially under contract with FC Bayern until 2026, who released him from his duties at the end of March. As long as the ex-FCB coach has not agreed with the club to terminate his contract, he will have to pay a fee.

FC Bayern Munich, News: Kemme alludes to “FCB tastes”.
The anger about referee Sascha Stegemann and video assistant Robert Hartmann has not yet subsided. Now the fact that Hartmann comes from the Allgäu and is therefore part of the Bavarian Football Association is causing a stir.
“The fact that he comes from the Allgäu offers a very, very large target. Again,” said sky-Expert Tabea Kemme. The thought behind it is clear: FC Bayern benefited from Dortmund’s 1-1 draw at VfL Bochum on Friday, so Hartmann could not theoretically be completely impartial.
“We have to pull the leash a bit tighter. We all have to sit down at a table and play with open cards, also when it comes to placing,” continued the former international.
Meanwhile, Kemme’s colleague Lothar Matthäus was upset that Hartmann was immediately put back into action as video assistant by the DFB in Hamburger SV’s 2-3 defeat in the second division at 1. FC Magdeburg on Saturday.
“I’ll take him out first! He’s also mentally scratched after this discussion,” complained Matthäus: “But today he’s being used again and making another decision that I can’t understand one hundred percent, where it wasn’t a clear wrong decision for me .”
The 43-year-old had asked referee Harm Osmers to watch a scene in which he had decided on a penalty for HSV. Osmers subsequently took the penalty back.
