From next season on Matthias Sammer will come back to our club as a sort of external counselor to management. There will be a second new position to be filled as a connection piece between management and team. Candidates are former BVB captain Sebastian Kehl and current Head of Youth Development Lars Ricken.
Didn't expect Watzke at this point to bring in more players from outside, but I like that he recognized that he might need more support and looks from another angle. First step in the right direction. Sammer played a key role in Bayern getting Pep. While I don't expect that much, I hope we will get a more modern and knowledgeable approach from him than we do from Aki. Kehl has studied sports management at UEFA and is a club legend. Plus he's no yes sayer, so he will have some input as well.
Me likey.
