As 2021 draws to a close, Bayern's current CEO, the team's legendary player Kahn, participated in Bayern's official podcast recording, recalling past stories with Bayern and what he now does as CEO. Let's listen to what interesting stories and perspectives the Golden Retriever King has shared!
"I come from a family of footballers and I knew I wanted to be a professional when I was very young. It's really lucky to be able to understand what you really want. Kahn described himself this way. Starting in January 2020, Kahn joined Bayern's board of directors and subsequently took over as Rummenigge as the club's CHIEF executive in July of that year. Kahn said: "This position means greater responsibility, and in a team like Bayern, I am used to taking responsibility at any time. ”
"In 2008, I ended my career and also said goodbye to my Bayern career. The farewell match for me at the Allianz Arena was so great that I will never forget that day in my lifetime. Kahn recalled his farewell to his playing career, "After retiring, I tried to be a football commentator and also tried to dabble in the business world, and eventually I returned to the club. It was very different for me than life on the pitch, but I got used to it very quickly. ”
As the club's CEO, Kahn always has to make many decisions, which requires him to synthesize the information and perspectives of all parties to make decisions. "To make the right decision, it takes us a lot of homework and the ingenuity of all the staff at the club. Bayern is never about any individual, everything we do is to make the club better. ”
Speaking about the biggest difference between this era and before, Kahn said: "It seems that it is difficult for children to stay focused throughout the 90 minutes of a game, and the fusion between reality and virtual in this world is becoming more and more frequent, and they seem to prefer to swipe 15 seconds of video, one after another. Nevertheless, we must recognize this reality and make positive changes, because after all, they are the people who will enter the stadium in the future. We have to think about it for our young fans today. ”
Speaking about the upcoming year of 2021, Kahn said the team has "delivered convincing performances" during the year, while already building a solid edge in all competitions. During the winter break, Kahn hopes that the team can use this time to rest and adjust in time, and strive to continue the previous good form in the game at the beginning of 2022!
