Munich (AP) - Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has asked FC Bayern Munich to stick together.
«We all have to pull together and work together harmoniously, loyally and professionally.
That is my clear requirement for the sporting leadership.
That has always distinguished FC Bayern, ”said the CEO of the German record championship of the“ Bild ”.
The 65-year-old has clearly positioned himself in the future debate about coach Hansi Flick, who is considered a top candidate for the national coaching post as the successor to Joachim Löw.
Only this week, Rummenigge emphasized again that the DFB had to plan “without Hansi”.
Flick and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, who, according to the coach, had recently resolved differences, avoided statements about the current sporting situation.
Flick's contract in Munich runs until June 30, 2023.

As part of the 2: 3 in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germin, the situation around Jérôme Boateng had clouded the mood.
Shortly before the game, Salihamidzic confirmed that Boateng's contract, which expired in the summer, will not be extended and that the former international will have to leave the club after ten years.
Flick, who thinks a lot of Boateng, let it be seen that he doesn't like it.
«I also have to answer questions professionally here.
I don't have to answer everything now, because I don't want to either, ”said the 56-year-old.
«I have to act a bit there too.
It is also part of the coaching job. "
Rummenigge doesn't like the situation.
«This topic has to come to an end!
It is superfluous that we have to constantly comment, especially since we are in the last quarter of the season, are first in the Bundesliga with a seven point lead, and despite our 2: 3 against Paris we still have a chance to advance in the Champions League » he warned.
"We need calm and a focus on the essentials."
