Oliver Kahn vs. Uli Hoeneß: A power struggle revealed through the lens of "Succession"

источник: HOME OF SPORTS REEL (Glomex)

Why does Oliver Kahn, the goalkeeping legend and short-lived leader of FC Bayern, compare Uli Hoeneß to an insatiable patriarch from the TV series "Succession"? After less than two years at the helm of the club, transferred from Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Kahn was dismissed - a move that Hoeneß later described as a "big mistake". The dismissal, accompanied by a series of public and internal turmoil, including Kahn's exclusion from the team trip and his silence to the press, has shone a spotlight on the deep rifts within the club. Kahn's rare statements after his exit, in particular comparing Hoeneß' management style to that of the patriarch from "Succession", paint a picture of a power struggle that goes far beyond personal differences. Kahn defends his time in office by emphasizing that he fulfilled his role as CEO in the way he felt was necessary - not as an administrator, but as a visionary who wanted to lead FC Bayern into a new era. What does this dispute reveal about the dynamics at the top of one of the biggest soccer clubs in the world?
