Oliver Kahn is apparently not counted for the first time in his role as CEO of FC Bayern. As reported by ‘Sport Bild’, President Herbert Hainer and Bayern boss Uli Hoeneß already warned the ex-goalkeeper in 2022 – because they were dissatisfied with his management style. Specifically, a lack of empathy towards employees and the external image were denounced.
Hoeneß is also an important member of the supervisory board, which decides on the composition of the board of directors. Kahn succeeded Karl-Heinz Rummenigge as CEO in 2021. Now the ‘Sport Bild’ is talking about the predecessor as an interim solution. The 61-year-old could imagine a short comeback for the benefit of the club.
Thoughts on Seifert & Mintzlaff
Philipp Lahm and Hoeneß himself have recently been traded as other candidates for a potential Kahn heir. When Kahn was already counted in May 2022, the thoughts of the supervisory board apparently revolved around the former DFL managing director Christian Seifert and the then managing director of RB Leipzig, Oliver Mintzlaff. He is now one of the board members at Leipzig’s financier Red Bull.
On May 22, the Bavarian supervisory board will meet again. Kahn will then probably present a new sales record that could strengthen him. However, it could then also be certain that Bayern will have their first untitled season in eleven years. This will also be included in the evaluation of Kahn’s work. The former Bayern captain wants to fight for his job.
