FC Bayern Munich – Rummenigge reveals: “Mourinho was a candidate”
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has revealed that Jose Mourinho once wanted to join FCB. In the end, for a reason, the deal didn’t work out.
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has revealed that FC Bayern Munich was once interested in Jose Mourinho and that the Portuguese was not averse either. The former CEO of the record champions said at RAI Sport: “Mourinho was a candidate. He wanted to come to Germany to train Bayern.”
The German record champions finally decided on a coach “with a different profile and different characteristics that are more suited to Bayern,” added Rummenigge.
Jose Mourinho current AS Roma coach
The 66-year-old has great respect for Mourinho for his success: “I hope he is successful in Rome because he is a great coach.” The Portuguese has been in office in the Italian capital since last summer.
However, Rummenigge did not reveal when exactly “The Special One” was on the list at Bayern. Michael Ballack, who was under contract in Munich from 2002 to 2006, also spoke about appropriate considerations on Säbener Strasse last May.
