Uli Hoeness to step down as Bayern Munich club president

The Hindu  

Having transformed Bayern Munich into one of Europe's strongest clubs, then been jailed for tax evasion, Uli Hoeness will bring the curtain down on a glorious 40-year reign at the German giant when he steps down as club president on Friday. “I think that someone like Uli Hoeness will never stop, he's got a Bayern heart, so he will always stay connected to us,” said Bayern captain Manuel Neuer on Wednesday. “Bayern is unimaginable without you,” wrote in a tribute Germany legend Franz Beckenbauer, who Hoeness replaced as club president in 2009. “The club would not be what it is today.” However, the fire still burns in Hoeness' belly, as proven last Sunday morning when he rang a talk show on German television to berate pundits criticising Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.
