During the Julian Nagelsmann era, he didn’t have to speak a lot, yet alone visit the training ground. But this is a proper crisis, so ‘influential’ board member Uli Honess came to the Sabener Strasse, but before he went to the offices, he visited coach Thomas Tuchel at the training ground. The conversation was a vivid one, as the former Bayern president was explaining something, then pumping his fist during the 45-minute conversation with the newly appointed coach. And for Munich fans, that means a lot.May 22nd – D day for Bayern trioUli Hoeness lives for Bayern and was the club’s general manager for 30 years before becoming the president until 2019 when he retired and is now ‘only’ a board member. But as a representative of the 7 men’s body, he can sack Bayern’s CEO Oliver Kahn or sporting director and his protegee Hasan Salihamidzic. But he prefers to help as much as he can in order to avoid instability or the situation in which Bayern is not the champion. And that would be a disaster for the man who every year subtly mocks Borussia Dortmund in their Bundesliga title quest.Uli Hoeneß speaking to Thomas Tuchel on the training ground today [📸 @BILD] pic.twitter.com/VBoP9gUi4z— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) April 26, 2023 It is yet unknown what the two men were talking about, but the timing of the visit was understandable – the first training after a 1-3 debacle from Mainz. The Champions League and the German Cup are already gone, and a situation in which Bayern finished the season without a single trophy is unbearable. There were already reports that even Tuchel could be sacked if the title is not secured by May 22nd when the Bayern’s members board meeting is scheduled. But it is believed that Hoeness wouldn’t go against Tuchel, since the coach has a lot of admiration for Bayern’s legend.Tuchel has already matched Nagelsmann for defeats as Bayern manager this season 👀 pic.twitter.com/Mlu2L2Zwc1— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) April 22, 2023 The former Chelsea manager revealed that he called Hoeness when he accepted the job.“Before signing, it was very important to me to speak to him on the phone. We also had the opportunity to talk in person this week. This is very important to me. I wanted to tell him that I’m doing my best to take good care of his club. That’s why I wanted to express my thanks to him” said Tuchel.Turbulence in Munich: What will happen to Kahn and how Tuchel downgraded Bayern in three weeksBild recently reports that Hoeness even considers replacing CEO Oliver Kahh and installing his son Florian in the role. Salihamidzic is his protegee, so he won’t vote for his sacking, while Tuchel has been appointed just recently. As for the fans, they already know who to blame.“Goals may be missed – values of the club not! Question management policy!” says the message from Bayern’s Ultras after the Manchester City defeat.##NAJAVA_MECA_7209144##
