It was just over 24 hours ago that he sat in the media room at FC Bayern and let them know how he would react if he was still asked about his future and his contract.

On Saturday, shortly before the kick-off of the Munich game against 1. FC Union Berlin, you could see and hear what Hansi Flick, Bayern's coach, had meant.

“Next question,” he replied to the question of whether he would fulfill his contract with the German record champions.

He found the question interesting, the reporter replied.

"Of course it is of interest to you," countered Flick, but he said on Friday at the press conference.

"You are always welcome to ask," emphasized Flick, who also seemed quite annoyed.

Sky reporter Patrick Wasserziehr wanted to know whether he - Flick - would stay if the sports director - Hasan Salihamidzic - was no longer there.

Flick stuck to his motto, which he had announced the day before, and said: "Next question."

Flick has a contract with FC Bayern that is valid until June 30, 2023.

The 56-year-old former assistant coach of the German national team is considered a hot candidate to succeed national coach Joachim Löw after his tenure after the European Championship ended.

According to the coach, Flick and Salihamidzic had recently resolved differences.

However, there had been friction again in the Champions League first leg against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.

Salihamidzic had confirmed shortly before kick-off that Jérôme Boateng would not get a new contract with Bayern in the summer.

That, in turn, did not please Flick.
