Karl-Heinze Rummenigge, former general manager of Bayern, opponents of Benfica in the Champions League group stage and former glory of Germany and the Bavarian club, currently 66, revealed to Italian television, Rai Sport, that José Mourinho was available to coach the German team… before signing for Roma.
“Mourinho was our chosen one to assume the technical command of the club and I confess that he confessed that he wanted to come to Germany to coach Bayern. Unfortunately it wasn’t possible… That’s why we went ahead to sign Julian Nagelsmann from RB Leipzig,” said the former striker, who added: “I have a lot of respect for José Mourinho and I hope he succeeds at Roma, because he is a great coach, one of the best in the world,” he concluded.
