Mourinho was our choice to take over the management at our club, said Rummenigge. And I have to admit that he had confessed to me, that he wants to come to Germany to train FC Bayern, the former Muncher Board betrayed that The Special One even stroked a commitment to the Sabine Strafe.

Mourinho to Bavaria was unfortunately not possible

In the end, however, a collaboration was unfortunately not possible, Rummenigge let s see that he would like to see the Portuguese in Munich on the side line. Why the commitment burst, Rummenigge did not reveal.

Finally, for another profile with other characteristics that are decided to fit more to Bavaria, he explained only. After the deal with Mourinho was obsolete, we have pushed the commitment of Julian Nagelsmann, added the 66-year-old.

And then you know that your own destiny do you know is immediately predetermined. Whether he made this statement before or after the talks with Rummenigge is unknown.
