Reschke: When I signed Coman, I used some small tricks to reject his excessive demands

From 2014 to 2017, Reschke was the technical director of Bayern Munich, helping Bayern complete several important signings. In an interview with the German media newspaper Bild yesterday, Reschke revealed a small episode in the process of signing Koeman.

Koeman joined Bayern on loan from Juventus in the summer of 2015, when bayern and Koeman went into several negotiations to persuade Koeman. In one negotiation, Reschke alone faced multiple people on Koeman's side. Reschke: "I was negotiating on behalf of Bayern, across from Koeman, his father, his mother, an Italian lawyer and two French agents. ”

Bayern's chairman of the board at the time, Rummenigge and economic director Dreson, set a limit on the economic cap on The signing for Bayern, and in that negotiation, Koeman's demands were also increasing, putting pressure on Reschke. Reschke recalls that he used a little routine at that time. "More and more demands from Koeman and his agents make the negotiations more complicated and difficult. Then I used a little routine, brought some freshness, and finally completed the deal. ”

Reschke left the office by answering the phone, and he found Mennerich, bayern's media spokesman at the time. Reschke asked Mennerich to pretend to be Bayern president and rejected koeman's excessive demands. "I said to Mennerich, 'I'll introduce you and say you're the bayern president.' Every time they make an excessive request, I pretend to discuss it with you, and then you knock on the table with your hand and say no. ’”

In the end, Reschke's little trick succeeded, and Bayern persuaded Koeman. "Mennerich played his role well. We finally got a more suitable negotiation result and signed the contract. I believe that in the end, Koeman is also satisfied with the outcome of such negotiations, and of course Bayern Munich is satisfied. ”
