The second career of Hasan Salihamidzic at Bayern was created rather randomly far from Munich in Asia. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Uli Hoeness were in the summer of 2017 on a PR Tour of the German football record champion Playing in China and Singapore a lot of traveling together. They were looking for a way out of the impasse in the appointment of the sports Director’s post. The solution, which amazed everyone, found it then finally in the former Bayern-professional Salihamidzic, which was three years ago, as a brand Ambassador of the club in the far East with it.
“stopgap? I don’t feel so,“ said Salihamidzic a few days later back in Munich in his presentation on the last day in July 2017. After a “walk through steel” (Hoeness) rise of the Bosnians, this Wednesday at the sports Board. The carriage had been decided by the Supervisory Board of the German industry leader in last December. Salihamidzic was “the right man to shape the future in the sport of FC Bayern and to take the responsibility,” said Chairman of the Supervisory Board Herbert Hainer.
“Every day for the FC Bayern”
the Position of The sports Board since the departure of Matthias Sammer 2016 vacant. Salihamidzic feels that his appointment, which has been completed this Wednesday officially, as “honor”. He’s done it again. He has shown it again all of the doubt. As of 1998, when he moved with 21 years as a Talent from Hamburger SV to a large FC Bayern. Then, too, Brazzo has been underestimated, as the Bosnian nickname is. The “kid” fought with the diligence and tenacity of a place in Munich’s star ensemble and 2001 Champions League winner.
From the Management-a beginner to a member of the Board – this is the next steep climb, even if he was rocky. Salihamidzic started as a compromise solution, the Munich-based alpha animals Rummenigge, who had previously ensnared in vain the former captain Philipp Lahm, and Hoeness, the flirted more with the Gladbach-maker Max Eberl as the Director of sports. Brazzo, the “boy”, then went on as a sports Director with a promise that he should come close. He will be “24 hours, seven days a week” for Bayern, and the Team there.
