Dusseldorf (dpa / lby) - Matthias Sammer has countered criticism of Bayern's sports director Hasan Salihamidzic and CEO Oliver Kahn, according to which the management duo of the soccer record champions is said to have weaknesses in leadership. "I don't want to judge how things work there, but what I do know is that every new constellation needs time to get used to it, to stabilize in order to achieve cooperation," said the adviser from league competitor Borussia Dortmund on Sunday to TV broadcaster Bild . Between 2012 and 2016, Sammer himself worked as a sports director for the record champions.
Still managing the change and the change in the management team relatively smoothly after the departure of Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is a masterpiece. Uli and Karl-Heinz have shaped the club for decades, and the club has been able to develop over these years. Inevitably, this is then associated with the successors, and they have to work immediately and must not weaken," said Sammer.
