As soon as they become German champions, the excitement at FC Bayern continues. Kahn and Salihamidzic are out. And the sports world reacts with drastic words.
Munich – What a drama on the last matchday! BVB lost to Mainz, FC Bayern beat 1. FC Köln with Musiala's goal a few minutes before the end and were crowned German champions for the eleventh time in a row. A messed-up season saved? Hardly. Because the next drama was already looming around the start of the festivities.
Shortly after the final whistle, the first information leaked out, which FC Bayern itself confirmed shortly afterwards: Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic are out! The dismissal itself should not be so surprising for some Munich fans, the timing, in the middle of the fresh championship celebrations, it is anyway. The freshly fired barge itself was also not very enthusiastic. He tweeted after the final whistle that he had been "forbidden" from being with the team and celebrating with them. At Sky, Kahn immediately followed up, speaking of the worst day of his life. Other stars of the sports world also reacted quite shocked to the news.

Hamann on the departure of Salihamidzic and Kahn: "Not to be outdone in terms of disrespect"
Sky expert Dietmar Hamann, for example, harshly criticized. Hamann called the announcement of the separation of CEO Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic shortly after winning the eleventh German championship "bottomless" and added: "What they did today cannot be surpassed in terms of disrespect," the 49-year-old rumbled at Sky.
You can think what you want of Kahn and Salihamidzic, "but they are two such deserving players and also officials. It's unworthy to go through with that a minute or five minutes later after winning the championship," Hamann continued. The Bavarians must now "really be careful not to be divided or fall apart, because what they have done today with this announcement is an impudence," said Hamann.
"Defeat for the whole club", "questionable": Ex-players Wagner and Kroos also comment on the Bayern quake
Ex-Bayern player Sandro Wagner sees the departure of Kahn and Brazzo as a "defeat for the whole club". "Crazy. I'm really at a loss for words. Way, timing," said the 35-year-old former Bayern professional in the "Current Sports Studio" of ZDF about the decision.
"It's a shame for the players and especially for the new coach, they wanted to celebrate a bit today, but then it's mainly about the change again," said ex-FCB player Toni Kroos at Real total. He was also surprised by the communication of the people of Munich. "To confirm that today on a day like this, to officially predict that he is sick. Then: No, he's not, he wasn't allowed to come. That's all I've heard so far, but I believe Olli," said the 33-year-old. The image of what his former club has given here is "questionable", according to the Real Madrid professional. (han/dpa/SID)
