Bundesliga: FC Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness to step down after 40 years at helm

Firstpost  

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness is set to call curtains on a glittering 40 years long career which has seen the club win the Bundesliga 24 times Berlin: Uli Hoeness is set to step down as president of Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich with reports on Wednesday saying he will not stand for re-election in November. He is set to walk away after 40 years in charge of Bayern and reportedly has former Adidas boss Herbert Hainer, his deputy on the club’s board, in mind as successor. Hoeness joined Bayern as a player in 1970, retiring nine years later to become the club’s general manager and has overseen its fortunes ever since — apart from two years in jail for tax evasion, from June 2014 to February 2016. “I haven’t heard the bomb drop yet, when is he going to quit?” After a knee injury forced the West Germany international into retirement, Hoeness became general manager in 1979 and 30 years later was promoted to club president in 2009.
