Rummenigge: Jose Mourinho Wanted To Work At Bayern Munich

Roma coach Jose Mourinho almost had a very different career path, as Karl-Heinz Rummenigge reveals he ‘wanted to work at Bayern Munich, but we felt he wasn’t the right man for the club.’

Mourinho has trained and won all over Europe, including Inter, Real Madrid and Chelsea, but is yet to experience the Bundesliga.

It’s not through want of trying, according to former Bayern Munich director Rummenigge, who revealed the details to RAI Sport.

“A few years ago, Mourinho wanted to come to Germany to work at Bayern, but we felt he wasn’t the right man for the club.

“Personally, he always made a good impression on me. I hope that he can find success at Roma, because he needs to win on a daily basis.”

Bayern Munich are again one of the favourites to win the Champions League this season.

“The philosophy of Bayern Munich has always been the same: have success, but with the books balanced. That is part of the culture of German football.

“We might not make many big splashes on the transfer market, but we can win the Champions League even without spending huge sums, as we already proved.”
