Kahn: It is not inevitable that the German team will succeed in the European Cup at home in 24 years, and we must be alert to all problems
Live Broadcast, January 18th, at the annual meeting of the German Professional Football League on Monday, Kahn, chairman of the Bayern board of directors, talked about the development prospects of the German team and Bierhoff’s successor in the Football Association.
Focusing on the German European Cup in 2024, Kahn believes that the entire German football world should reflect. He also emphasized that Bierhoff’s successor within the German Football Association will play an important role in this regard.
Kahn: “At the end of the day, it’s important that it’s a decision for German football to be able to bring success back and ultimately create a positive atmosphere that I haven’t seen after this World Cup, And that’s logical.”
The German team has been eliminated from the World Cup group stage twice in a row. Kahn believes that German football must be self-aware: “Perhaps some people will think that the European Cup held in Germany will be an inevitable success, but it is by no means inevitable. Yes. I think all of us have to be vigilant about everything that’s going on and have to act.”
The German Football Association set up a special working group to determine Bierhoff’s successor. In addition to Kahn, the group also included Rummenigge, Watzke, Sammer, Wöhler and others, and Wöhler is now Considered the best candidate for the position of director of the Football Association.
It is reported that the task force will conduct further talks on this topic at its meeting on Thursday. As for whether a final decision will be reached by then, Worrall himself said: “Let us wait and see.”
Kahn said: “This working group discusses structural issues, but of course it also talks about personnel issues. I think Worrall is reliable and trustworthy. But if we don’t communicate with many other candidates, then our group is Behaving inappropriately.”
“It’s not always about the people, it’s also about how people work in the organizational framework. For example, who will be in charge of the work of the youth team? How should the various tasks be distributed?”
“Bierhoff’s previous work as the Football Association’s sports director involved a very complex set of tasks. To believe that one person can manage all these tasks is a very ambitious idea in this day and age.”
Therefore, the speculation circulating now is that the German Football Association will set up a dual-leader model: on the way to the 2024 German European Cup, Wöhler will serve as the German team leader and attend external activities. As for other tasks, another person will be responsible.
