After the mediocre season at FC Bayern and the mixed transfer record of the German champions, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic is under a lot of pressure. This prompted his “foster father” Uli Hoeneß to launch a counterattack: he now attacks the team.

Attack on players: At Bayern Munich’s championship celebrations on Sunday in Munich City Hall, Honorary President Uli Hoeneß launched the attack, as in the best of times. “The fact is that we have to hold the players more accountable again – with us, the coach or the sports director is always held accountable,” said the 70-year-old in front of media representatives.

Increasing the pressure: Hoeneß continues: “The fact is that we have had a few players with us since Christmas who, on the whole, have not played well. These players have to be put under more pressure.” In the second half of the season, FC Bayern only occupies fourth place after fluctuating performances.

Protection for “Brazzo”: The aim of the attack is clear: Hoeneß wants to protect Hasan Salihamidzic, whom he has brought significantly into the position of sports director: He sees “a hunt and he is not solely responsible for the transfer policy”. Hoeneß rates the work of the 45-year-old as “good” – as does that of CEO Oliver Kahn.
