Bayern Munich have sacked their CEO and club legend Oliver Kahn just an hour after winning their 11th straight Bundesliga title.
A club statement read: ‘The decision to part with Oliver Kahn was anything but easy for the supervisory board. Nevertheless, due to the overall development, we have come to the decision to make a new appointment at the top of the executive board.
‘We would like to thank Oliver Kahn for his commitment, his ideas and for everything we have achieved together. He will always remain a great figure at FC Bayern. We wish him all the best for his future.’
Former goalkeeper Kahn captained Bayern from 1994 to 2008 and shockingly revealed that the club had prevented him from joining in with the celebrations at the Allianz Arena.
“Unbelievable! A big compliment and congratulations guys! I always told you so!’ he posted on Twitter.
“Always give everything to the end and never give up. I am incredibly proud of you and this achievement!
“I would like to celebrate with you, but unfortunately I can’t be with you today because the club has forbidden me.
“I’m looking forward to next season. We will not only be German champions for the 12th time! Let’s celebrate!’
