Former DFB President Theo Zwanziger defends his contract with Nike. “I can understand every fan who is outraged,” ZwanZiger told “Zeit” “My impression is that Adidas no longer really wanted it, at least not at any price," he said.
The planned change of the supplier from Adidas to Nike had previously caused great criticism - also in federal politics. Most recently, DFB treasurer Stephan Grunwald also described the decision as having no alternative.
