The former Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund coach expressed his views on the role of Sammer in the coaching decisions at the Allianz Arena outfit.
Udo Lattek, the veteran manager, voiced his sentiments suggesting the relationship of the Bayern sporting director and coach Jupp Heynckes is on the edge. He believes Sammer should give the manager free role and should stay behind
the scenes to perform his duties.
The 44-year-old former midfielder took charge at Bayern following Christian Nerlinger’s departure. The 1996 European Player of the Year left a highly decorated position of technical director at the German FA to aid Der FCB tactician
help end the trophy drought the club is facing.
Moreover, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oliver-c28477 Kahn has criticised the Bayern official’s interference in the coaching affairs saying that Sammer should back off and concentrate on his own matters. Even though, the Reds have enjoyed a good start to the season,
there is a talk of a rift between Die Bayern duos.
Lattek admitted that he liked the director personally but wants him to leave the manager to himself in team decisions. He said that Heynckes needs admiration and freedom; therefore he should be given the confidence to act on his
own.
"There should not be any fidgeting in the dugout. I like Matthias Sammer very much, but I do not know if that's really important. In any case, the coach has to be recognised by the entire team. If he does not, then it will be difficult,
so you have to be very careful, he mused.
"I don't know what agreement the two share with each other, but it is very, very critical [to the club's chances of success]," he was quoted saying in an interview.
Lattek and Sammer have already been colleagues at Dortmund in 2000, where the former was the leading man and the superior of the latter person.
"For us, it was very simple. I was the boss and he was the one who listened," he finally concluded.
The 77-year-old claimed that both the FC Hollywood individuals are very self-reliant and their relationship can get messy. Furthermore, serious problems can occur if there is any kind of a rift between the two officials.
