After becoming CEO of Bayern Munich last summer, former goalkeeper Oliver Kahn has come under fire from former team-mate Lothar Matthaus, who believes he is the main culprit behind the German champions’ current situation.

Oliver Kahn, whom Lothar Matthaus sharply criticizes for the situation in Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich was kicked out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage, and also lost first place in the Bundesliga.

The last period has been tumultuous at the Bavarian club, marked by a change of coach and conflict between two players, with former legend Lothar Matthaus blaming Kahn for the crisis around the team.

“At any moment, something that no one expected three or four months ago can happen. Oliver Kahn has clearly lost control. I also expected more from President Herbert Gainer.

In retrospect, the transfers made by Salihamidzic are not as good as they were thought to be.

Oliver Kahn is invisible to office workers. Has other interests, likes to relax, play golf. He suddenly has to take responsibility for a club in crisis,” Lothar Matthaus said, according to AS.com.

After being relegated from the Champions League and the German Cup, Bayern have only the title race ahead of them, where they sit second in the table, one point behind leaders Dortmund, with five stages remaining in the season. .
