Lothar Matthäus says Bayern should make Oliver Kahn their CEO | OneFootball

Amid Bayern’s worst start in some time, Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeneß openly discussed his own future retirement and suggested that the club will ‘revolutionise’ their roster in the near-future.

However, Bayern legend Lothar Matthäus says the club should take it one step further and clean house in the front office.

“It’s like how it is on the pitch. Thus far, they’ve neglected to cultivate strong successors — with all due respect for the lifelong work of Uli Hoeneß.

“Also for Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who gave the club first-class and successful leadership in Uli’s absence.

“Both of them know, however, where certain things no longer function like they did ten years ago.

“A change of leadership is coming ever closer. Just like when they themselves took over from their predecessors.

“Uli (should) become honorary president like Franz Beckenbauer, but should also stay out of the day-to-day business as much as possible.

“Kalle (Rummenigge should) succeed him as the new president and head of the advisory board.

“Oliver Kahn should take over the office of chairman of the board from Rummenigge. He’s a face of FC Bayern, he has Bayern-DNA in him.

“Oliver is an outstanding expert in soccer. He was always ambitious, always educated himself further, including in economic matters.

“I trust him to lead FC Bayern into the future.”
