BUNDESLIGA NEWS: MATTHIAS SAMMER SPORTING DIRECTOR WA BAVARIANS

Matthias Sammer ametangazwa rasmi kuwa  sporting director wa klabu ya Bayern Munich,kufuatia kuondoka kwa  Christian Nerlinger.

Sammer, 44,  alikuwa  technical director katika  German Football Association (DFB) kwa miaka 6, na ameamua kujiunga na klabu hiyo ya Bavarian licha ya kwamba kati ya mwaka 1993-1998 alikuwa katika benchi la mahasimu wa Bayern and has decided to join the Bavarian club, despite starring for rivals Borussia Dortmund between 1993-1998.

Nerlinger had been behind-the-scenes at the Allianz Arena since 2008, working firstly as technical director and then sporting director.

"On behalf of the club, I would like to express my gratitude to Christian Nerlinger for his work at Bayern over the past four years. I hope that we continue to have a good personal relationship," Bayern president Uli Hoeness said.

Nerlinger meanwhile, said in his own statement: “I wish Bayern all the best. I've had a great and very busy time here, and I will continue to be on good terms with the club.”

The change comes at the end of a difficult campaign for FCB, having finished eight points behind Dortmund in the Bundesliga, runners-up to Jurgen Klopp's side in the cup and finalists in the Champions League.

Sammer said he wanted to put last season's disappointment behind him, as did the club.
