Bayern regrets decision to part ways with Flick
Just over five years ago, on November 3, 2019, a new era began for Bayern Munich, marked by the club's first Champions League victory since 2013. This successful period is closely associated with Hansi Flick. Although more than three years have passed since he left Munich, Bayern still feels a sense of regret over his departure.
Details: Bayern’s supervisory board member, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, expressed regret over Flick’s exit, given the remarkable results he achieved.
Quote: "I was very sad to see him leave. When do you ever find a coach who can win seven titles in just a year and a half? And that was despite a difficult start. At Christmas, we were four points behind RB Leipzig, who were then managed by Julian Nagelsmann, and by matchday 34, we were already 16 points ahead. Bayern didn’t lose a single game under Flick in the remainder of the 2020 season. That’s a great memory.
We shared a legendary journey with him. I’ll never forget Lisbon. Hansi was fully convinced. After the 8–2 win over Barcelona, he said, ‘Great things are happening here; we’re going to win the Champions League.’ I thought that was very bold, but he proved it," Rummenigge quoted by Bavarian Football Works.
