Munich (AP) – A young coach who was no longer employed after accusations of racism at Bayern Munich has withdrawn his lawsuit against the German record champions.
The appointment before the Labor Court in Munich, which was scheduled for January 13, 2021, was canceled, as the court confirmed to WDR magazine “Sport Inside”. “I can only confirm that my mandate ended on October 26th, I am not allowed to make any further statements,” said lawyer Christian Nohr, who had previously represented the trainer, on Wednesday to the German press agency.
Bayern broke up with the coach on August 13th after “Sport inside” reported on suspicion of racism in the Munich youth training center. Accordingly, serious allegations were made. In discussions about the obligation of players, for example, racist expressions are said to have been used.
The Bavarians then initiated investigations. “As a result, incidents were determined for a sub-area of the NLZ that violated labor law obligations, do not match the attitude of FC Bayern and lead to consequences,” the club said. The result is structural changes and a new start in terms of personnel for the U9 to U15 teams.
Afterwards, the former youth coach had accused FC Bayern of having urged him to sign a termination agreement after accusations of racism became known. A lawyer for the association rejected this before the Munich labor court and emphasized that the agreement had been reached amicably.
