Rummenigge: When I returned to my post after retirement, I was shocked

Hupu September 23rd News: Bayern Munich Supervisory Board leader and former CEO Carl Heinz Rummeniger recently talked about the club's related topics in an interview.

It is said that when you find the "right team" (responsible), you will retreat behind the scenes

"Bayern Munich always has the greatest success with the high-level continuity. The operational aspect must run smoothly. For Max Eber, it is important that he also actively adopt the advice I or Hines occasionally give him. Everything has not been settled, but we have been back on track."

Will this moment arrive before you are 80 years old?

"I think yes. I don't know if this will fall on Hines and me at the same time. But one day, we will say: The key is here, and someone has to open the door now. When I stepped down (2021), it was 'sunny'. We won seven championships and despite the raging COVID-19, the financial situation is still good. After that, we spent too much money and we have to criticize ourselves. When I came back two years ago, when I saw the financial situation, I was a little shocked and I said, 'Guys, if we continue like this, we will be in financial trouble. Our new philosophy also includes cost cuts. We must not make the mistake of letting the British move the transfer market, let alone the media move. We have our own DNA, which is not available to buy. We will not go with the flow. ”

About the club's top management

"Franz (Berkenbauer), Karl (Hopfner), Uli and I. This team is unique and a real unity. Even if we have different interests, we will discuss it until we make a decision. No one has ever come forward and said, 'I told you a long time ago. 'To me, it's always crucial for Bayern Munich to remain stable. We have worked together to overcome difficulties in the past 20 years - and it is in this process that you have met people who are truly trustworthy: Franz Beckenbauer, Uli Henes, Karl Hopefell, and later Herbert Heine and Young Christian Dresen. They are all loyal, step up at critical moments and always keep the best interests of the club in mind. ”
