Bayern president explains Nerlinger’s exit
Christian Nerlinger
The sporting director departed on Monday after two seasons without silverware, with the Bundesliga giants bringing in Matthias Sammer as his replacement.
"When we were reviewing the 2011-12 campaign with the supervisory board, the board of directors and the sporting director, it became clear that we had significant differences of opinion and a different vision about the future of Bayern," Hoeness stated to Bayern TV.
"We then already made the decision that we wanted to let go of Christian Nerlinger before the start of the new season.
"We took Euro 2012 into account as to when we'd announce our decision. We had 10 players at the Euros and didn't want to create any unrest."
