The ongoing feud between FC Bayern and TV expert Dietmar Hamann has another chapter. The starting point for the latest level of escalation are statements that the ex-national player made on the talk show “Sky90”.
Here is an overview of the statements:
FC Bayern didn’t want to endure such a massive verbal attack. “On Sunday, as part of a fan club visit, our head coach Thomas Tuchel was asked by the supporters about his coaching career and his previous experiences abroad at Paris St. Germain and Chelsea FC and of course he provided information about this in the conversation. He also answered general questions from the fans “Spain as a football country,” said the joint statement from CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and sports director Christoph Freund.
Tuchel “never spoke about Xavi Hernandez and his successor,” the club wrote, “as was falsely claimed afterwards. We will no longer accept such unobjective statements directed against our coach, which always come from the same place.”
The conflict between Hamann and the club and Thomas Tuchel had already escalated in the autumn of last year after Hamann criticized Bayern’s style of play. Now the next chapter followed. Hamann is generally a sharp-tongued, polemical expert. Coaches like Jürgen Klopp and Steffen Baumgart have already felt this.
Sequel follows.
