Bayern’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic called ‘Brazzo’, is a lucky man. Even thou he is the main topic of German newspapers these days, rarely an executive in any of the Top 5 European leagues has so much support from one man as he does. In 2017, Bayern Munich appointed Brazzo as the sporting director after Matthias Sammer had retired for health and family reasons and for the last 5 years, he had the backing of a very powerful man – Bayern’s legend and former president Uli Hoeness. How do you see BVB positioned for the next season with Süle, Schlotterbeck and Adeyemi?

And now, when the fans, press and other board members are reconsidering Brazzo’s role for the future, Hoeness came out flying.Brazzo’s crucial transfer window, Bayern’s brass not so keen to keep himThe guy just likes his protegee so much that he blamed the player and the journalists, but not Salihamidzic.“The fact is that we have to hold the players more accountable – with us, the coach or the sporting director is always held accountable. The fact is that since Christmas we’ve had a few players who, by and large, haven’t played well. These players need to be put under more pressure. There’s always only one picked out. He’s not solely responsible for the transfer policy. The whole association is responsible for this, the entire board and the supervisory board. ”When we won six titles, I didn’t hear anyone shouting, ‘Hasan, Hasan!’ Now that we don’t win the Champions League, it’s all his fault. That cannot be!” said Hoeness at the club’s title celebration party, adding that if he was to decide, he wouldn’t let some of the journalists into the Bayern building due to negative articles about the club in recent times.Bayern raging at traitor Sule after the defender refused to travel with the teamOf course, the former Bayern president was extra sensitive when Niklas Sule didn’t want to sign a contract extension and will sign for a fierce rival, Borussia as a free player. On top of that, the player refused to travel with the team to Wolfsburg so that he could fulfil the empty place on the bench.”That doesn’t exactly speak for the player. I found this action catastrophic! And you can forget the myth that he earns less in Dortmund than in Munich” said Hoeness.(2.45) FRANKFURT (3.40) RANGERS (3.05)But that was not enough. Borussia was very active before the transfer even opened. Apart from Niklas Sule, transfers of Karim Adeyemi from RB Salzburg (38 million euros) and Nico Schlotterbeck finished a few weeks ago. Hoeness’ comment?“Borussia Dortmund transfers? Enough for the second place”.
