FC Bayern Munich: Layoffs after championship title

SEVILLE. In the end, everything is the same as it has always been in the past decade: when the accounts are settled, FC Bayern Munich is at the top. Coach Thomas Tuchel’s team secured their twelfth championship in a row on Saturday because they themselves won 2-1 at 1. FC Köln while Borussia Dortmund lost their nerve against 1. FSV Mainz 05. A 2:2 after 0:2 deficit was not enough. BVB went into the 34th matchday with a two-point lead as table leaders, FCB finally secured the top position after a tie (71 each) thanks to the better goal difference.

The consolation prize for a Bayern season to forget was quickly overshadowed. Even during the final phase, it leaked out that the supervisory board decided to fire CEO Oliver Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidžić at an extraordinary meeting on Friday. President Herbert Hainer consequently confirmed this. Kahn did not travel to Cologne at all, according to his statement he was forbidden to do so.

Toni KroosEx-FCB professional, criticized this immediate announcement exclusively REAL TOTAL. “I heard from Kahn that he wasn’t allowed to come. That’s not my construction site, but it’s already giving a picture that’s a bit questionable. It’s a shame for the players and especially for the new coach, they wanted to celebrate a bit today, but then it’s mainly about the change again. To confirm that today on a day like this, to officially say in advance that he is ill… Then: No, he is not, he was not allowed to come. I haven’t heard more than that, but I believe Oli.”said the 33-year-old after Real Madrid’s 2-1 win at Sevilla.

I have Tony #Kroos to events at #FC Bayern asked. He says: “I heard it from #Kahnthat he was not allowed to come. It’s not my construction site now, but it’s already giving a picture, which I think is a bit worrying.” @REAL_TOTAL pic.twitter.com/CtIq75kDeR

Announcement of new contract: Toni Kroos jokes

Kroos played for the German record champions from 2006 to 2014 (205 competitive games, 24 goals, 49 assists) with a year-and-a-half break due to a loan to Bayer Leverkusen before he was drawn to Real. Incidentally, Kahn is followed by Jan-Christian Dreesen, who was previously CFO of Bayern. On the other hand, it remains unclear who will inherit from Salihamidžić.

Unbelievable! A big compliment and congratulations guys! I always told you so! Always give everything to the end and never give up. I am incredibly proud of you and this achievement! I would love to celebrate with you, but unfortunately I can’t be with you today…

Meanwhile, one thing is clear: Kroos will continue in Madrid. His new contract until June 30, 2024 has already been secretly signed, but the announcement is still a long time coming. When is it finally time? Kroos laughing REAL TOTAL: “I have to ask that again because I have to go on vacation at some point.”

Kroos on Nacho, Ceballos and Asensio’s future

In addition to the German midfield director, at least Luka Modrić and Karim Benzema will remain loyal to Blancos. Marco Asensio, on the other hand, is apparently leaving the club, and Mariano Díaz’s departure is certain. Uncertainty prevails for Nacho Fernández and Daniel Ceballos, and their contracts also end according to the current status.

“Hard to say, honestly”Kroos replied when asked about Nacho, Ceballos and Asensio: “We don’t talk too much about it. Since yesterday I’ve had the feeling with Marco that maybe it won’t work out – but also more because of external reports than internal ones. As for Nacho and Dani, I have no idea. I have a feeling, but no idea. A feeling goes in a direction of speculation. I would be happy if both stay. With Nacho you don’t have to talk and I think Dani has been playing a great last six months. I think he played as many games in that time as he did in a few years before that. He’s doing great, gives us a lot. Of course, I don’t know what will or will not happen in this position.”
