Munich (AP) - For the former Bayern professional Lothar Matthäus, the whereabouts of successful coach Hansi Flick in Munich is anything but clear.
“The statements made over the weekend by both Hansi and Oliver Kahn only allow us to conclude that it is not at all clear that Hansi will remain coach in Munich beyond the season.
Quite the opposite, ”said the German national record player in his Sky column.
"As far as I know, Flick is the absolute favorite to succeed Joachim Löw as national coach, both from Oliver Bierhoff and from President Fritz Keller," said Matthäus, explaining: Flick knows "like no other candidate most of the national players and the structures in association.
In addition, there is his very good relationship with the decision-makers. "
There have certainly been telephone calls between him, Keller and Bierhoff.
It is clear to Flick and those responsible for the DFB that they will not be able to approach the Bayern bosses for two months. "
Matthew referred to Flick's problems.
"Despite the public apology and appeasement of the past incidents, he does not really have a very good relationship with Bavaria's sports director Hasan Salihamidzic," said the 60-year-old Sky expert.
«You can pull yourself together now for the important weeks.
I don't believe in working together beyond the season. "

In the end, Flick did not want to comment on the speculations about his future and the successor to Löw and did not want to comment on rumors.
The designated Bayern boss Oliver Kahn had avoided statements about Flick's future beyond the current season.
"I've had one or two conversations with Hansi in the past few weeks and couldn't find out in these conversations that he has big tendencies when it comes to the national team," said Kahn.
"He is fully focused on FC Bayern Munich."
