Kahn was known as a hothead in his 14 years as Bayern number one, but at a press conference on Tuesday he said there would be “no slide tackles in the meeting room”. The 50-year-old joined the board at the German champions officially last week and will succeed Karl-Heinz Rummenigge as Bayern CEO in January 2022. New president Herbert Hainer said that Kahn had been hired for his “football expertise, business expertise and Bayern DNA”. The legendary goalkeeper won the Champions League, the UEFA Cup and eight Bundesliga titles with Bayern before his retirement in 2008. He was Bayern’s hero in the 2001 Champions League triumph, saving three penalties in the final shootout with Valencia.
