Thomas Tuchel wanted a six, Uli Hoeneß not. The honorary president of FC Bayern thinks it’s a perfectly normal difference of opinion – and no reason for atmospheric disturbances.
Despite media reports to the contrary at the end of the transfer phase, the relationship between Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel and honorary president Uli Hoeneß is said to be unclouded.
“It’s just a ploy to divide us. You can have different opinions,” said Hoeneß in an interview with “Sport Bild”. “It’s always been the case in the past, but it’s never meant that we stop talking or appreciating each other.”
In the past few weeks, Tuchel had publicly stated several times that FC Bayern Munich would be missing a player for the sixth position. Hoeneß, who is part of the transfer committee at the Bundesliga soccer club, did not share this opinion. Nevertheless, FCB were close to signing João Palhinha. However, the move fell through at the last minute because Fulham FC could not find a replacement for the Portuguese.
