Munich (SID) – Bayern Munich’s outgoing CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has shown himself “irritated” that the return concepts for spectators to the football stadiums “are not being advanced in line with the incidence values”. This is what the 65-year-old, who is leaving the German record champions prematurely on June 30, told kicker.
The incidence value in Munich is currently below 30, “we have to openly discuss larger audience numbers,” explained Rummenigge: “The Bundesliga was the first to resume operations in May 2020, but we are obviously the last to do so get spectators again. “
Rummenigge, meanwhile, is pleased to hand over “a sporting, economically and structurally completely intact club” to his successor Oliver Kahn. He could “say that FC Bayern will finish this season with a good result despite the pandemic.”
After one and a half years of training, the time was ripe for the handover to long-time Bayern captain Kahn (51), said Rummenigge, but noted: “The way of working naturally changes on the second floor.”
Nevertheless, he wanted to make a clear cut, also in the interests of the new coach Julian Nagelsmann. If he had continued, Rummenigge explained, “then there would still have been a shadow lurking behind Oliver Kahn who in the end would have wanted or should have known something better. That is no good for anyone, especially not a new, young coach.”
