Oliver Kahn denied rumours that he freaked out after hearing the news that he is no longer the CEO of Bayern Munich.
The legendary German goalkeeper was relieved of his duties as the club CEO on Friday May 26.
He claimed that he remained calm after hearing the news from Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer.
Oliver Kahn took to Twitter to clarify that he did not ‘freak out’ upon receiving the news of him getting fired and instead felt happy that the club won yet another Bundesliga title.
“The claim that I freaked out when I was informed about the dismissal is definitely not true.
“I received a call from Herbert Hainer on Friday informing me of the decision. It was a calm and factual conversation.
“I was just wondering about this actionism, why this decision was now brought forward.
“On Saturday morning I was informed that I could not go to the game. I also accepted this decision calmly.
“Of course, I’m disappointed, but I’m incredibly happy about this championship and happy for the team, coaches and our fans.”
