While those responsible are busy working on new plans for the Bundesliga, one thing in particular stands out: Bayern Munich boss Oliver Kahn is missing. The former goalkeeper is said to have decided this himself.
Plans without Kahn: The Bundesliga bosses are currently planning to fill some offices, such as that of the DFL Presidium. However, they do not include Oliver Kahn, CEO of FC Bayern, as “Sport Bild” reports. Kahn voluntarily renounced a candidacy in order to be able to fully take care of his club and his work on the board of Europe’s club association.
Short, compact, clear
Dreesen gets precedence: With his withdrawal, Kahn lets Bavaria’s CFO Jan-Christian Dreesen go first. Dreesen already sits on the presidency, where, according to the report, he enjoys a good reputation. However, re-election may not be in the interests of other clubs. Some clubs are said to think that in the case of a presidency made up only of the top clubs in the league, the ideas would be very one-sided.
New elections on August 17: The DFL General Assembly will take place on August 17. 36 professional clubs then re-elect the Executive Committee and the Supervisory Board.
