Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness to step down from

The Hindu  

Uli Hoeness has confirmed he is stepping down as president of Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich and will not stand for re-election in November. That means Bayern members will vote for a new head of the defending Bundesliga champion at the annual general meeting in November with Hoeness to step down as head of the club’s board. Since Hoeness first took charge in 1979, Bayern has enjoyed phenomenal success -- claiming the Bundesliga trophy 24 times, the German Cup on 14 occasions and lifting the Champions League trophy in 2001 and 2013. Bayern opened the new German league season on Friday with a disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Hertha Berlin as two Robert Lewandowski goals bailed the host out of trouble at the Allianz Arena. READ | Coutinho completes Bayern loan move from Barcelona Hoeness joined Bayern as a player in 1970, retiring nine years later to manage the club and has overseen its fortunes ever since -- apart from two years in jail for tax evasion, from June 2014 to February 2016.
