Hansi Flick -

NEW CHINA / SIPA

Bayern Munich will he succeed in inventing a small internal crisis before playing Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the Champions League?

Because it seems that the will of Hansi Flick to succeed Joachim Löw - of which he was the deputy between 2006 and 2014 - on the bench of the German team does not really pass with the Bavarian leaders.

Boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is therefore responsible for putting some order in this mess.

This meant Sunday that a departure this summer of his trainer was excluded.

"It is not a probability, it is a fact", he launched Sunday in the daily

Die Welt

.

"We have every interest in going through with what we have contractually decided" with Hansi Flick, appointed in November 2019, and "I told him unequivocally" during an interview, added the strong man of the Bavarian club , stressing that the interested party had taken note "in a professional manner" of this point.

The current goes badly between Flick and his sports director

It is not however sure that the chapter is for all that definitively closed because, moreover, Hansi Flick, in spite of the successes of the club (6 titles during the last season), maintains conflicting relations with its sporting director, Hasan Salihamidzic.

The two men clash over Bayern's recruitment policy.

On this point too, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge urged a return to calm.

"This is what I would call family matters and, from this point of view, we must be careful not to do worse than the royal family of England," he said, in a alluding to the recent tensions among the Windsors after the interview with Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle.

Hansi Flick has publicly displayed these dissensions in recent weeks, before finally a few days ago to apologize for very harsh words to his sporting director on the team bus, which had leaked into the press.

He said he had an interview with Hasan Salihamidzic on Wednesday to settle the differences and assured that he now wanted to look forward, without completely convincing the German media.
