Things are moving at Bayern. While Sadio Mané is no longer desired, Kyle Walker should land and Harry Kane seems hard to dislodge, the Munich management is also experiencing many upheavals. Indeed, after a critical second half of the season which saw Borussia Dortmund come close to the league title, several heads fell. Among them, that of Oliver Kahn. The former German goalkeeper was dismissed from his post just after the end of the 2022-2023 Bundesliga campaign, while waiting to be replaced.
A time announced to Chelsea, Christoph Freund will become the new sporting director of Bayern Munich. Author of high quality work with RB Salzburg, with whom he has unearthed many nuggets, the 46-year-old Austrian has his work cut out for him. “I really look forward to doing everything with all my energy and passion from September 1 to ensure that this club remains as successful in the future, continues to play at the highest international level and inspires its fans with attractive football. It’s important to me that a club has an identity, and FC Bayern represents that. I am very grateful to Salzburg for 17 successful and moving years, and during this transfer period I will do everything I know how to do for the club.”said the interested party, who will officially join Bayern at the start of the next school year.
