A young trainer who was no longer employed after racism allegations at Bayern Munich has withdrawn his lawsuit against the German record champions.
The appointment before the Labor Court in Munich, which was scheduled for January 13, 2021, was canceled, as the court confirmed to the WDR magazine "Sport Inside" on Wednesday.
"I can only confirm that my mandate ended on October 26th, I am not allowed to make any further statements," said lawyer Christian Nohr, who had previously represented the coach.
Bayern broke up with the coach on August 13th.
"Sport Inside" first reported on the suspicion of racism on the Bayern campus.
Accordingly, serious allegations would be made against the employee, who had been active as a trainer in the youth department since 2003 and was promoted to sports director of the U9 to U15 teams in 2016.
The employee reportedly used racist expressions in discussions about the obligation of players.
"Sport Inside" referred to documents such as letters and chat histories that should be available to the magazine.
Thereupon the state security initiated an investigation.
The Bavarians had then initiated investigations.
"As a result, incidents were identified for a sub-area of the NLZ (youth training center, editor's note) that violated labor law obligations, that do not match FC Bayern's attitude and that lead to consequences," the club said.
The result is structural changes and a new start in terms of personnel for the U9 to U15 teams.
Afterwards, the former youth coach had accused FC Bayern of having urged him to sign a termination agreement after accusations of racism became known.
A lawyer for the association rejected this before the Munich labor court and emphasized that the agreement had been reached amicably.
