Kahn's resignation: The reasons for his failure at FC Bayern!

Mannheim, Deutschland - Oliver Kahn, the former world-class goalkeeper and until May 2023 club director of FC Bayern Munich, seems to be introspective after his release from the association. But the reasons for his failure are clear: FC Bayern expected him to have the emotional and energetic leadership, which he had as a player. Instead, he often looked reserved and not present, which led to a feeling of disappointment both within the club members and the fans, reports Mannheim24

A central point of criticism of Kahn was his work ethic. Despite his efforts to find a balance between work and family, the impression came about that he lacked the commitment and dedication that his mentor Uli Hoeneß had exemplified. With the surprising dismissal of coach Julian Nagelsmann in April 2023 and the commitment of Thomas Tuchel, Kahn set high expectations, which, however, were not fulfilled. The loss of the championship and the failure in the DFB Cup and in the Champions League finally led to Kahn's departure, which was announced at the end of the 2022/23 season, as from wikipedia emerges.

Kahn's outstanding career and his problems

Kahn, who is one of the best goalkeepers, began his career at Karlsruher SC before moving to Bayern in 1994. His leadership style and his achievements as a player made him a cult figure. But also in management, Kahn was faced with challenges that brought his retreat to the football expertise. After his release, Kahn focused on appearing as a stage expert and commentator, but the question remains in the room whether he learns from his experiences and how he will continue to design his career.
