'Oliver Kahn has been dragged through the mud for months'
Oliver Kahn's departure as CEO of Bayern Munich caused quite a stir in Germany. In fact, his brother Axel was very critical recently in an interview for 'Sky Sports'.
Bayern Munich fans are still celebrating after lifting their 11th Bundesliga title in a row. However, the Bavarian club did not wait a single day to sack Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic after the troubled campaign. The club's former CEO expressed his displeasure via Twitter.
The uproar continues in Germany and remains a topic of debate in German football. In fact, his brother Axel was very critical recently in an interview for 'Sky Sports'.
"A decision like this doesn't happen overnight. I would have liked Bayern to have informed Oliver earlier, even sat down a few months before and explained to him that they wanted to separate in the summer," he said.
"We always managed to disrespect our icons in Germany: Boris Becker, Michael Schumacher.... Oliver has been dragged through the mud for months, every decision was linked to him in a negative way. It was too much. We have to have a bit more respect," he added.
Finally, the brother of the former Teutonic goalkeeper explained how the former player is living these days: "He is doing quite well. But I haven't had any contact with Oliver in the last 1 or 2 days. Now he deserves to recover and let things sink in a bit. It's not about getting in the ring. It's about bringing a bit of calm."
