Did the Bayern bosses react too late after the turbulent annual general meeting? Chairman of the board Oliver Kahn cannot understand the accusations.
At the annual general meeting on 25 November, President Herbert Hainer and CEO Oliver Kahn had spoken a lot, but afterwards the FC Bayern executives remained silent for a while.
While coach Julian Nagelsmann once again had to answer non-sporting questions at his matchday press conference the day after the sensational event and was also in demand as a club spokesman around the 1-0 win against Bielefeld the following Saturday, Hainer and Kahn only spoke out about the events for the first time on Sunday.
Why so late? “We first analysed the issues, I think it makes sense not to react emotionally,” Kahn said on Sky on Saturday before the top match in Dortmund. Afterwards, he said, Hainer and he “clearly said what we intend to do in the future. I can’t see that we didn’t react or reacted too late anywhere. “
Kahn rejected the interpretation that Nagelsmann had been left alone in the following days: “You all know that a coach is obliged to attend press conferences. This comparison is totally misleading.” Whether it’s the vaccination or Qatar debate, Kahn feels “we always communicate at regular intervals on all political issues. “
