Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeneß commented on two major topics in German and world football. He criticized FIFA president Gianni Infantino for investor plans and warned against excessive expectations of Jürgen Klopp, who is set to serve as Germany's new national team coach. Tagesspiegel ↗
Hoeneß initially maintained a more reserved tone following recent reports about Infantino, but subsequently used clearer language. According to published information, he has reservations particularly about ideas regarding investor involvement in football. He suggested that such a development would cross the line of what he considers acceptable in his sport. Tagesspiegel ↗
Regarding Klopp, Hoeneß emphasized that he personally considers him a very good coach and expects that he can improve many things in the national team. At the same time, however, he pointed out that the public and the football community should not see him as a savior. He also views as problematic the personnel issue related to employing Klopp's advisor at the German Football Association. Die Zeit ↗
Hoeneß's statements thus combine criticism of international football leadership with a cautious outlook on the future of the German national team. Further developments will depend on how FIFA addresses the investor plans and how Klopp's work with the national team impacts the association's operations.
