Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic are heavily criticized around FC Bayern.
Coach Thomas Tuchel joins the Munich bosses.
Munich – The debate about the work of the Munich bosses Oliver Kahn (CEO) and Hasan Salihamidzic (sports director) is running after the experts Lothar Matthäus ("Nest warmth used to be lived more") and Thomas Helmer in an interview with the tz ("To so many

sites I can't really remember how recently") they had fanned.
FC Bayern: criticism of the work of Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic
So the unrest at Bayern is almost tangible.
The rumor that CEO Kahn was about to be replaced had to be refuted by club president Herbert Hainer.
Nevertheless, clear criticism can also be heard from the supporters, when they were eliminated against ManCity (0: 3, 1: 1) in the Champions League, the atmospheric "South curve" even hoisted a large banner against Kahn and Salihamidzic.
Nevertheless: At the press conference for Bayern's Bundesliga away game in Mainz (Saturday, 3.30 p.m., here in the live ticker), coach Thomas Tuchel defended his two employers, who finally signed him for the coveted job in the Isar metropolis at the end of March.
And the Tuchel are now getting Anthony Barry's absolute "desired" assistant coach.

"My collaboration with Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic is calm, goal-oriented and solution-oriented.
And in a positive mood,” said Tuchel and talked about clients who “have the will to win in them”.
“It is clear that we are not satisfied, but the talks are still characterized by trust.
Nothing has changed,” the 49-year-old coach continued.
FC Bayern: Thomas Tuchel sees no crisis in Munich
The Bavarian Swabian classified the recent setbacks in the DFB Cup (out in the quarterfinals) and in the Champions League (knockout in the quarterfinals): "I can understand that three years without a semifinal in the DFB Cup are not enough.
But I can't see three years of quarter-finals in the Champions League as a crisis.
We shouldn't forget who we are up against in Europe," he said.
This cannot be “generally viewed as a crisis”.
It is an open secret that a season without at least two titles is a messed-up season for the Bundesliga record champions.
According to our own claims, which have often been formulated in this way in the past.
I can't see three years of quarter-finals in the Champions League as a crisis.
Thomas Tuchel, Bayern Munich coach
Even after the premier class second leg against ManCity (1-1), Tuchel drew attention to himself with a sentence about Bayern patron Uli Hoeneß.
"I promised Uli Hoeneß when he signed that we would take care of the club's values," he said.
Striking: Hoeneß withdrew from the operative business in November 2019.
But: did the honorary president from Tegernsee have much more power than communicated to the outside world?
Which increases the pressure on Kahn and Salihamidzic all the more?
Since the Manchester game, the longtime player, manager and president of the club has not at least made a public statement.
FC Bayern: Thomas Tuchel raves about Uli Hoeneß
“FC Bayern is Uli Hoeneß.
Uli Hoeness is FC Bayern.
That's why it was very important to me to speak to him on the phone before signing," said Tuchel after his Bayern commitment at the end of March via contact with Hoeneß: "I had the opportunity to speak to him personally this week.
I wanted to let him know that I'm doing my best to take good care of his club.” Now Tuchel is defending Kahn and Salihamidzic.
Their work is ultimately monitored and evaluated by the Supervisory Board.
Incidentally, Hoeneß is sitting in this one.
