In an interview with L’Equipe, as captured by @tweetBayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn mentioned Bayern Munich’s management mannequin. It will depend on ensuring that the legendary figures of the previous, and the gamers who determine with the membership, make the selections. Oliver Kahn himself is a former Bayern Munich participant, in addition to sporting director Hasan “Brazo” Selhamidzic. Kahn has taken cost of the likes of Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Uli Hoeneß, who had been additionally former gamers on the membership. And President Herbert Hainer… not a lot. However in most positions, Bayern makes certain that the Bavarian giants will not be run by businessmen in fits, however as a substitute businessmen in fits… who know the membership and its values ​​inside and outside and can maintain the membership’s identification intact.

Kahn says that is uncommon amongst Europeans these days. “It’s a distinctive function of Bayern that ex-players lead the membership or maintain necessary positions. In European soccer, solely Ajax, with Edwin van der Sar as common supervisor, has an identical group. Bayern is a membership with traditions and is a approach of exhibiting what’s on the core of our pursuits: soccer. “.

So whereas Bayern is called a miserly membership that saves cash, Kahn says Bayern is not going to lose sight of their ‘actual targets’. “With us, solely sporting success issues. We needn’t make earnings. That is the essence of FC Bayern.”

However greater than hiring former Bayern Munich gamers and preserving one’s targets in sight always, Kahn means that what he sees is an important a part of the membership. “A very powerful factor is at all times that nobody is greater than Bayern Munich. It does not matter the individuals or the names. For many years, many nice gamers have performed right here, from Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller to Neuer and Thomas Müller, together with Lothar Matthaus and Robert Lewandowski. However No participant has ever been above the pursuits of the membership. All choices are made in favor of Bayern Munich.”

It is fairly banal to say, however to be truthful Bayern have completed a stable job of preserving this identification collectively over the a long time. And if this mannequin continues to recruit former Bavaria greats so effectively, perhaps Bayern can maintain on to this identification for for much longer.
