Bayern players. Bayern (football club)

Oddly enough, the news of the appointment Niko Kovac the head coach of Bayern Munich caused so much bewilderment. Rather, on the one hand, this bewilderment is understandable. People are used to thinking in stereotypes (it's not good or bad - it's just the way it is), and the stereotype that has developed in football says that only a coach who has earned himself a big name can lead a big club. Any other choice is taken with surprise: that is, how is it Kovacs? Who is this anyway?

Meanwhile, the cost of a name in football is a) a very ephemeral thing; b) definitely not the main and not the only selection criterion. And if you pay attention to other criteria, it becomes clear that Bayern approached the solution of the coaching issue quite reasonably.

The simplest part of the justification puzzle is the experience of working at Bayern. The Söbener Strasse club is to a certain extent a thing in itself: people from outside very rarely become part of this system. There is a joke in Munich that getting a player's portrait in the club's hall of fame automatically guarantees him a place on the board of directors, and this is only partly a joke. Kovacs has not played for Munich all his career, but he is familiar with how the club processes are arranged - this was certainly a factor for him.

But not the most important. The fact is that at Eintracht, the Croat went through a difficult training course for work at Bayern. In Frankfurt, which was very limited in terms of funds, it was necessary to scrape together a team from all over the world - as a result, a frantic mix of representatives of a dozen and a half nations gathered in the team. Eintracht spoke seven or eight different languages, was the most international club in Europe, but Kovacs, who had brilliant communication skills, managed to make a team in these thankless conditions. A team where everyone fights for everyone.

And here's why it's important. Bayern have never chosen a coach based on his tactical skills - which is why there is no Tuchel or Hasenhüttl in Munich. Bayern is a specific place to work also because it is much more important to show people management skills here. As soon as control is slightly lost, the coach will be instantly gnawed by the players, which happened to Carlo Anchelotti, in the tactical strength of which there is no doubt. Home work a coach in Munich - not to make players better (the best are always gathered here anyway), but to make each of them remember how good they are every day and extinguish conflicts even before they appear. It’s embarrassing to deal with links to oneself, but if you haven’t read my article about what kind of person, read it. Around the middle, you will realize that this is exactly who Bayern needs in terms of man-management.

The organizational component is also important. Now it is completely clear that it is under Kovacs that the global restructuring of the Bayern attack will take place - the refusal to bet on a pair of Robbery and the search for new options. In such a situation, when the same people commanded the attack for many years, Munich runs the risk of having problems in the offensive (they are partially there now, which he admitted Jupp Heynckes). Accordingly, it is necessary to start building a new team from the defense, where everything is in order with the record master both in terms of names and in terms of quantity and age composition. Kovacs, on the other hand, specializes precisely in building distinct defensive actions - if they succeed in installing them, the Munich machine will not succumb to external damage.

These three points are already enough to explain how strange, at first glance, the choice becomes reasonable. There is, however, a non-obvious thing that is worth mentioning. worked in the Salzburg Red Bull and after several years of strengthening the club in Europe, he applied for the position of head coach of the main team. Nevertheless, the sports director of RBZ and one of the main football thinkers of our time Ralph Rangnick said that Kovac did not suit the club in philosophy, which extremely offended the Croat. Now, when almost half of the coaches in the Bundesliga either came into direct contact with Rangnick, or adopted some of his ideas from his followers, and Rangnick’s Leipzig project is slowly becoming Munich’s main competitor, it will be very Munich to oppose this philosophy. Again, the theory is not obvious, but very beautiful.

In a club where the proud love of one's own identity and difference from everyone else is brought to the level of the motto ("Mia san mia" - "We are us"), this is quite acceptable. And the new head coach knows this.

The first serious success of the team was the victory in the German championship in 1932. To achieve it, Bayern had to first win the South regional league, and then the semi-final and final of the all-German competition. In the decisive match, the Munich team beat the Frankfurt "Eintracht". After that, the gradual decline of the club began, and the team won its next trophy (German Cup) only after 25 years.

The greatest player in the history of Bayern, Franz Beckenbauer, lifts the 1975 European Cup over his head

After the Second World War, Bayern remained on the sidelines for a long time even in Munich, which caused the absence of a team among the participants in the Bundesliga created in 1963. The fact is that the clubs in the elite division were selected according to several principles. Among them was this: one city - one team. At that time, 1860 Munich was quoted higher, which is why it was he who got into the Bundesliga, and Bayern had to spend another two years to break into the elite.

In its first season (1965/66), Bayern finished third and won the German Cup, and a year later won the Cup Winners' Cup.

Gradually, the club gained strength and came to the fore not only in German, but also in European football. In 1969, the team won the Bundesliga for the first time and since then has not parted with the Silver Salad Bowl for more than three years. The only exception is the period from 1975 to 1979, when Bayern dominated Europe (beginning with the 1973/74 season, the team won three European Cups in a row), sometimes forgetting about domestic competitions.

The history of the club

IN late XIX century, football in Germany developed at the expense of the gymnastic clubs that were popular at that time. One such club was 1860 Munich. In 1899, a football section was founded in this club. Since little attention was paid to football in the gymnastic club, already in 1900 a section meeting was held, where the question of the possibility of independent development of the football section was discussed. Eleven people were in favor of breaking away from the gymnastics club and creating a new football club. This is how the Bayern football club was born. The club was named after .

Bayern held its first match with the First Munich team. The result of the match is 5:2 in favor of Bayern. Due to the fact that the club was based near the University of Munich, it became very popular among students. The doors of the new club were open to everyone, so the team did not experience a shortage of players. Not surprisingly, in 1907 the club had a dozen children's and youth teams, as well as several adult teams. Until the First World War, this team was the most popular in Munich. The Bavarians included several players from the German national team.

The first successes of Bayern

The team from Munich owes its first successful performances to coach William Townley. It was this coach who instilled in Munich a high-speed and combinational game. The 1925/26 season was successful for Bayern. However, Bayern failed to become the best in Germany. The championship title of that season went to Fortuna from Leipzig.

The year 1932 was triumphant for Munich. In the final match, Bayern beat Eintracht, scoring two unanswered goals to the opponent. So for the first time the Munich team became national champions. Fans of the team had to wait a long time for subsequent successful performances.

Bayern in the Bundesliga

The Bundesliga in Germany was founded in 1963. However, Munich were able to start their performances in the Bundesliga only in 1965. The eminent Gerd Müller, the great Sepp Mayer, as well as the unsurpassed Franz Beckenbauer played in the composition of Bayern during this period. It was on these high-class players that the game of the team was built. Bayern completed their debut season in the Bundesliga quite successfully, finishing third. In addition, the team won the German Cup.

In 1969, a team from Munich wins the national championship and Cup. Bayern preach attacking, fast and aggressive football. The period from 1969 to 1974 was a very successful year for the Bavarians. The team has won the championship title four times. The colors of Bayern are defended by several players of the national team who became world champions in 1974.

From 1980 to 2013, the Munich club won eighteen more league titles. The team was able to achieve great success under the leadership of the eminent Udo Lattek. This odious coach managed to build a team that had no equal rivals not only in the German championship, but also in international arena. Udo Lattek has been in charge of Bayern for over five years. With this coach, the club won the national championship three times and won the German Cup once.

Throughout its history, Bayern have won 23 league titles, 10 times became the vice-champion of the country. The German Cup players from Munich obeyed 16 times. Munich have won the German Super Cup 5 times.

Bayern in the international arena

For many years, Bayern Munich has been a constant contender for victory in any international tournament. For the first time in the European Cup, a team from Munich won in 1974. Under the guidance of the talented coach Udo Lattek, Bayern beat Atlético Madrid in the final. The fans did not see any goals scored in regular time, and in extra time the Spaniards managed to open an account. Bayern managed to recoup only a few seconds before the end of the match. Since penalty kicks were not envisaged at the time, the match was replayed. In the second game, Bayern left no chance to the opponent, scoring four unanswered goals against the Spaniards.

In the 1974/75 and 1975/76 seasons, the Bavarians again win the Champions Cup. In the final game of 1975, the English Leeds were beaten, and in 1976, the West German team beat Saint-Étienne in the final match. A brilliant game as part of the Munich team was demonstrated by their illustrious captain, Franz Beckenbauer. In 1976, the legendary captain of Bayern was recognized as the best player in Europe.

In 1996, Beckenbauer, already a coach of Bayern, won the UEFA Cup.

The 2000/2001 season ended with another triumph for Bayern. Under the leadership of Ottmar Hitzveld, Munich become the winners of the Champions League. In the playoffs, the strongest teams in Europe were beaten - Real Madrid and the English Manchester United, to whom Bayern lost the memorable 1998/99 final. In the final match, the Munich team met with the Spanish "Valencia". The main time of the fight ended in a draw. The winner was determined in the post-match penalty shootout. The players from Munich turned out to be the best in breaking penalty kicks.

In the 2012/13 season, the first-ever final game of the Champions League took place, where two German teams played. Bayern, coached by Jupp Heynckess, met Borussia Dortmund in the final. The players of both teams demonstrated the highest football skills. There was a lot of struggle in the match, dangerous moments, flank passes, shots on goal and goalkeeper saves. The score in the match was opened by Bayern, but after eight minutes the opponent managed to level the score. The winning goal was scored by the indefatigable Arjen Robben. The Munich team won the final match with a score of 2:1. We also note that on the way to the final game, Bayern simply destroyed the formidable Catalan Barcelona. In two matches, football players from Munich scored seven unanswered goals against the Catalans.

Bayern is one of the most titled clubs in the world. The Munich team won the European Cup three times, they won two Champions League victories, one won the UEFA Cup, one Cup Winners' Cup. In addition, the team won the Intercontinental Cup twice and won the UEFA Super Cup once.

Munich hold their home matches at the Allianz Arena (stadium capacity - 71137 fans).

Football is great game. A sport that unites millions of people around the world. There are a lot of clubs. And one of the most popular and titled is Bayern Munich. The legendary club rich history and a lot of achievements. Of particular interest are the coaches of Bayern. There were many. And everyone brought something different to this club. Therefore, it is worth paying more attention to these professionals.

Start

Thomas Taylor was the first real coach. He led the team for a year - from 1908 to 1909. He was then replaced by Georg Hor. He stayed for a longer period - for two seasons. After him, also for 2 years, came John Griffith. He managed Bayern until 1913, when William Townley joined him. And exactly one year the team was trained by two people.

Then came Franz Kreisel, followed by his namesake Baumann. In those days, the coaches of Bayern (as, in principle, of any other club) changed often, almost every season. Following Baumann was Heinz Kistner, he was replaced by Karl Storch. In the 1920s, football players were coached by William Townley, Dori Kurshner, Hans Schmid, Jim McPherson and Kondrad Weiss.

For all the times of those years, Kondrad Weiss and Richard Dombey stayed the longest. Each of them led the team for three years. Over the entire history of the club, several dozen coaches have changed (not 10, not 20 and not 30 - much more). But there is not much information left about them. Therefore, it is necessary to tell in more detail about those who held the post of head of the club relatively recently.

People who contributed to the success of the team

Many Bayern coaches are legendary people. And their work could not but affect the reputation of the club. Since the 70s, those times begin when only true professionals come to the post of head coach. Udo Lattek is one of them. He managed the club from 1970 to 1975 and then from 1983 to 1987. The Greatest Personality! Multiple champion of Germany. Few people know, but football was originally a hobby for him. Udo played at an amateur level and was preparing to become a teacher.

Then there was Dettmar Kramer. It was he who led the team to victories in the European Cup (1975 and 1976). Then there was Gyula Lorant and Pal Chernai. The latter also did a lot for the team. Twice led her to victory in the championship of Germany and once in the German Cup. There was and That's just it will need to be told separately. The legendary was also the coach of FC Bayern. He led him to victory in the UEFA Cup.

And finally, this man led FC Bayern to victory in the German Championship, the German League Cup and the German Cup.

Joseph Heynckes

This man has done a lot for a club like Bayern. The former coach of the Munich team is a legendary figure. He is a four-time champion of Germany, as well as the owner of the UEFA Cup and Germany. And that's as a player! He is also the world and European champion (as part of the German national team).

He has coached five German clubs. Borussia Monchenglabach, Eintracht from Frankfurt, Schalke from Gelsenkirchen and Bayer. He also led the Spanish teams (Athletic, Tenerife and Real Madrid). There was also a Portuguese club - Benfica. As a coach, he brought Bayern to victory in the German championship and in the Cup of the country. But the most significant trophy is, of course, the Champions League Cup. And it was with him that the club scored a “golden hat-trick” - three victories in major tournaments per season.

And of course, it should be noted that Jupp Heynckes is one of 18 coaches who won the Champions League twice. And one of the four (!) who managed to do it with two different teams.

Louis Van Gaal

The Dutch coach came to the Munich club when they were not better times. The start of the season was tough. The first place in the standings was for Bayer (which at that time was led by Heynckes). But Van Gaal did everything in his power. In winter, the team began to show great success. Soon, the Munich team even outperformed Bayer!

In the 2009/10 season, under the leadership of Louis Van Gaal, they reached the Champions League final. But there they lost to the Italian “Inter”. The next season was not so successful, because Van Gaal was fired. Nevertheless, the former head coach of Bayern has done a lot for the club and its players.

Ottmar Hitzfeld

This man took over as Bayern coach in 1998. Before that, he was in Borussia - with competitors. By the way, they considered the Munich club “untrained”. And yes, there was reason to say so. The previous coaches of Bayern stayed in the team for a short time. However, Hitzfeld managed to rally the players. He decided to bet on offensive football. And I didn't guess. Already in the following year, 1999, the club won the national title. And in the next two seasons, success was repeated. Twice (in 1999 and 2000) the Bavarians played in the German Cup finals. Each time they faced Werder Bremen. For the first time, Munich lost. But in the second they did not miss their victory.

With the Champions League, everything was more dramatic. The entire football world will forever remember the 1999 Champions League final. Then the Munich team in the last added 5 minutes lost to Manchester United. They led 1-0! But the British did the unbelievable - in the last minute and a half they scored 2 goals. But in 2001, Bayern won the Champions League - then their rival was Valencia. It was a success.

But Hitzfeld left the team in 2004. The management decided to terminate the contract with the coach ahead of schedule. And no specific reason was given. There were guesses that this was due to a not entirely successful performance in the German championship.

Nowadays

All Bayern coaches have something special. For example, Josep Guardiola came after Heynckes. The first Spanish coach to lead a Munich club. But this season they say goodbye to him. This has been known for a long time. But who will become the coach of Bayern was an intrigue. But then they announced the name, and it was a shock to everyone. From July this year, 2016, the Munich team will be led by the Legendary Italian coach! The man who won with Milan everything that was possible. The one who led Real Madrid, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Roma to numerous victories. Fans are in anticipation. Many are sure that, led by Ancelotti, Bayern will achieve a lot.

After all, there is someone to lead to victory! Now Bayern have a very strong squad. And they need a professional, star coach who knows what it's like to work with such teams. Real football stars play in Bayern. Now the main line-up is as follows: Philippe Lahm, Manuel Neuer, Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Dante, Rafinha, Jerome Boateng, Juan Bernat, Holger Badstuber, Thiago Alcantara, Mehdi Benatia, Sebastian Rode, Douglas Costa, David Alaba, Arturo Vidal, Sven Ulreich , Javi Martinez, Robert Lewandowski, Serdar Tashchi, Philipp Steinhart, Joshua Kimmich, Julian Green, Kingsley Coman, Fabian Benko, Milos Pantovic, Patrick Wairauch. Needless to say, the team for a large part consists of current world champions! Because she needs a worthy leader.

It is assumed that the Italian specialist will stay in the team for three years. Well, it remains to wait for the summer and see what Ancelotti will do with the players. After all, everyone knows that every time he does something phenomenal. Usually it ends with victories.

History

In the 19th century, Konrad Koch, a professor at the Brunswick Gymnasium, lived in Germany. It was he who introduced in 1874 school curriculum an unusual game at that time - football. For this, I switched to German and then issued its rules. By the way, Koch had to prove the “Germanness” of this game in the gymnastic newspaper. Realizing that the popularization of football requires official organization- the professor called for the creation of a football union. For the time being, for the time being, unsuccessfully ... The spread of the foreign game was hindered by numerous gymnastic associations at that time. By the way, the abbreviation TSV or SpVVg has been preserved in the name of many German clubs, which means precisely sports and gymnastic unions. So Koch would not have done anything alone, but he had a like-minded person. Walter Bensemann graduated from high school in Montreux (Switzerland). It was also there that he developed a passion for football. With irrepressible energy, Bensemann took part in the creation of several football clubs in southwestern Germany - including Munich. Under the MTV Munich 1879 section, he helped create the football section from which Bayern was born. Also in the early 20s, it was he who created the Kicker magazine. Let's take a closer look at his contribution to the popularization of football in Germany. In 1899, Bensemann held talks in England with a member of the English Association, Frederick Wall. The result of the negotiations was that for a fee of 200 gold marks, the British agreed to come to Germany. Why this particular amount? And this is how much a 26-year-old enthusiast should have received from an aunt who died in Breslau ...
Enlisting the support of the Chancellor Prince Hohenlohe, Bensemann arranged for the matches to be held in Prague, Berlin and Karlsruhe. But a campaign was launched in the country against contacts with the British, who at that time were at war with the Boers. However, this was not even what saddened Bensemann - due to bureaucratic delays, he could not receive an inheritance in any way, and in a letter to his friend Ivo Schriker (who became FIFA Secretary General after 33 years), Walter even admitted his desire to shoot himself.

Seeing the suffering of his son, his mother came to the rescue - a kind woman simply gave her son the necessary money. The matches took place, and the British won by a margin of 6:48. Walter returned his mother's debt immediately after receiving the inheritance ...

After the involvement of other enthusiasts, the Deutsche Fussbalbund (DFB) was created in January 1900, and before that, in 1897, the Union of South German Football Organizations appeared. By the way, representatives of Munich were not there. A month later, the football section of MTV-1879 rebelled.

On February 27, 1900, the first meeting of the DFB was held in the Beckerhöfl restaurant, at which the most important question was decided - to separate or not from the gymnastic societies. 11 supporters of independence left the restaurant hall, settling in another tavern - "Gizela", and by the end of the gatherings they decided to create a football club "Bayern". Heated debates were about the amount of membership fees and club colors. And if the amount of contributions was determined quite easily - 2 stamps introductory and 1 stamp monthly, then they argued for a long time about the colors. But then they decided - white and blue. Franz John became president, the first captain and playing coach Paul Franke. Founders included Pollak, Foke, and Manning. In 1905, Manning emigrated to the United States, where in 1913 he became the first president of the Football Association of the United States, and in 1948 - the first American representative on the FIFA Executive Committee. Pollack left for America in 1903, but no longer crossed paths with football. Foke and his brother moved to Bremen, where he organized a workshop, which later became the Foke-Wulf factory.

Bayern was not the only Munich club. The youth of the city, chasing the ball on the Theresienwiese meadow (the site of the Oktoberfest beer festivals), was the first to organize the city club "Tera Pila" (literally - an earthen ball). Other teams were created, and the Bayern club appeared (which later died safely).

In March 1990, Bayern's first game took place - they met with the "First Munich" and won 5: 2. At first, there were only 11 players in the team, but then those who wanted to “went”. Since the club was located in the Schwabing area, populated by students, employees and small traders, it was open to representatives of all nationalities and social strata. Soon the club became the best in the city, and in the period from 1990 to 1904 was the unofficial champion. Among the rivals: "MTV-1879", "Wakker", "TM-1860", renamed in 1926. The latter is an eternal and irreconcilable rival. After Franz John, Willem Hisselink, the first foreigner in the history of the club, became the next president.

For development, the team needed banal money, and on January 1, 1906, FC Bayern merged with the Munich sports club, which had its headquarters in the central Four Seasons Hotel. The sports society put forward one condition - a change of club colors. And since then, "Bavaria" - white and red, and its nickname from now on - "rothose" ("red pants").

In 1907, the club had several adults and more than a hundred children's and youth teams, and its own field appeared. Due to the eternal conflicts of "fathers and sons", 11 veterans left the team, the leadership has completely changed. The veterans returned after two years - Kurt Muller worked very successfully in the team. In 1913, Kurt Landauer, the "maker" of legendary presidents, came to the club ...

Prior to the creation of the Bundesliga in 1963, the German championship was held according to a complex system - for an all-German quarter-final, any team had to go through many steps. In Munich, "Rothose" performed successfully, but in the championship of Bavaria they won only twice (1910, 1911). Then Karlsruhe, Nuremberg and Furth dominated in the south. During the First World War, President Landauer and many players went to the front. Young people came to the team, and in 1916 the treasurer wrote in the account book: "the balance of 93 pfennig." At the end of the war, gymnastic associations went into oblivion, workers' clubs were created. Since the DFB did its best to prevent the introduction of professional football, patrons were honored, football players were given good jobs, some violations were not paid attention to.

Returning from the war, Landauer, in order to bring the team to the all-German competitions, began organizational changes. He introduced injury insurance and brought back coach William Townley. In the spring of 1919, FC "Bayern", due to the urgent problem of their own stadium, separated from the Munich sports club and merged with the Friedrich Jahn Gymnastics Union. However, due to the violation of agreements by the gymnasts, Bayern at the end of 1923 went into "free swimming", and from now on it has become completely independent. Townley put the team in combination, fast, with constant control of the ball - the so-called "Scottish" style. Townley left in 1920 and was replaced by Dori Kurshner.

Unexpectedly, the Munich team had another competitor – Wacker gained momentum. In 1922, he reached the all-German quarter-finals, where he lost 0:4 to Hamburger SV. In 1923, the two Bavarian leagues were merged, and for the Red Pants this meant the addition of new strong rivals. Two years went on "grinding", and in 1926 "Bayern", under the leadership of the Scottish coach Jim McPherson, won the South-championship. The Scot focused on fitness and speed. "With the ball, we ran faster than our opponents without the ball," - center Pöttinger. At the same time, a record attendance was set - 30,000 spectators were present in the stands in the home match against SpVgg's main rival Fürth. The team was noticed, laudatory reviews went in football publications, and the “Bavarian bloc” appeared in the national team.

The coach changed in the team - Hungarian Konrad Weiss became the coach, with him Bayern won the South League championship for the second time. In 1929, the championship silver allowed the Rothosa to play in the play-offs for the German championship - unsuccessfully. In the early 1930s, there were best years club (until the early 60s). Since 1930, the team was led by Austrian Richard Dombey, and in the summer of 1931 the Munich team won the SOUTH championship for the fifth time in a row.

In the 1931/1932 season, the Bavarians, together with Eintracht, entered the all-German draw, and they also competed for the championship gold. The match ended with the victory of Bayern - it was the team's first league title! The victory was celebrated for eight days, but this triumph was the last for Landauer. On January 30, 1933, the Nazis came to power, and the Jew Landauer had to leave the club on March 22. Five years later, on Kristallnacht, he was arrested and sent to the Dachau concentration camp. Thanks to his glorious military past - a veteran of the First World War, holder of the Order of Merit and the Cross of the 2nd degree, he was released and emigrated to Switzerland. Youth coach Otto Beer also went there, coach Richard Dombey returned to Austria. He was succeeded by physical education teacher Hein Tauchert.

Hitler viewed sports as a means of educating the masses, but his party comrades kept a close eye on the game and quickly put it at the service of propaganda. DB as a football department was included in the "Reich Committee for physical education", along the way, expelling all Jews and persons "seen in ties with the communists" from football. Professionalism was recognized as a "harmful Jewish undertaking that is contrary to the spirit of German sports." Then they abandoned the idea of ​​​​an all-German "pro league". and not let it go out of control - everything is quite simple ... By the way, the Fuhrer was present at the match between Germany and England in May 1938. The English ambassador ordered fellow countrymen to greet the leadership of Germany with a Nazi salute. :3 - didn't like it...

High-ranking Nazis have favorite clubs. The NDAP, as a "working" party, supported the "working" clubs. In Munich, this was the TSV-1860. Bayern, on the other hand, was considered a “Juden club”, and it also emphasized its apolitical nature ... The difference in attitude towards the two clubs manifested itself, in particular, in this: TSV-1860 players were taken only to the “Labor Front”, and “rothoze” - to Army. Also, TSV-1860 and Wacker were financed from the party fund, Bayern survived alone. Until 1938, attempts continued to impose a "party" president on the Bavarians.

From 1933 to 1945 there were regular departures from the German Cup - the Chammer Cup (named after the Reich Sports Minister Chasser und Osten). There was practically no money, and in 1943 they began to talk about the financial, even starvation, death of the club. It was possible to escape thanks to two members of the board, Anton Ve and Karl Hötzl. First owned butcher shop, the second - a grocery store. In 1943, a team with the rank of "non-Nazi" went to Switzerland to play a friendly game with the local national team. The delegation was accompanied by the Gestapo, and although Landauer was present at the game, he did not manage to meet with the team.

The last duel in Munich during the war took place on April 23, 1945, the Red Pants TSV-1860 beat 3:2. A few hours before the start of the meeting, the players buried Wittmann, who died during the bombing…

For Germany, it was time to rethink the ideals. In 1945, the DFB was expelled from FIFA. The occupying authorities dissolved absolutely all associations. The last "Reich President" of the Bavarians Sauter disappeared, and no one else heard anything about him. The first post-war president, Xavier Heilmanndeser, believed that if you find the ball and the field that is not damaged, you can and should play. De jure, the club did not exist, and he dealt with the problems of the team. On June 24, 1945, the first post-war match took place on the Wacker field. Since it took place without the permission of the authorities, after the game the president was immediately arrested, releasing only under the guarantee of the police chief. It worked, and the next time the first thing we did was get permission for the match ... At the meeting, they adopted a new club charter (corresponding to the conditions for obtaining a license), began to hold exhibition friendly matches, the fee for which was paid ... in products. They began to be called "potato" - matches.

In September 1945, the Oberliga-Süd (southern) was created in Stuttgart, and the first post-war season was held. The remaining 4 Oberligas (southwestern, western, northern and city Berlin (could repeat this only a season later). In August 1947, Kurt Landauer returned - the only survivor of the whole family. His house survived, his reputation was impeccable, and he "obtained" a room for the club from the occupying authorities. In 1954, Landauer was not re-elected for the next term due to the intrigues of the members of the handball section of the club. By the way, there was also a chess club in Bayern. Landauer died in 1961, and not far from " Olympiastadion" is the street Kurt-Landauer-weg ...

In 1955, the Bavarians, finishing in last place, were relegated for the first time in their history. True, on next year returned to the elite. Willibald Hahn was then appointed coach. The Bavarians have never been a "cup" team - they did not have the necessary fighting character. The coach corrected this, and on December 29, 1957, in Augsburg, the Rothoze played with Fortuna Dusseldorf. It was they who beat Hamburg the day before and were the favorites. However, the duel was won by Bayern – such a “smile of Fortune”… It was the first Cup in the club's museum. However, the team played mediocre in the championship, besides, on the eve of the 1958/1959 season, the team was practically bankrupt. The owner of the welding equipment factory, Roland Endler, was appointed president.

In the summer of 1959, the Munich team in the OL-Zuid became fourth. So, because of the intrigues, a decade has passed in vain!
In 1958, 14-year-old Sepp Mayer joined the youth team. As a child, he wanted to be an actor, and for his grimaces he received the nickname "clown". In the same year, Beckenbauer came. It's funny that Franz wanted to play for TSV-1860, but in one of the matches he received a painful blow from one of their players, and immediately "overthrew his idol".
In 1962, a "tipping point" came for German football - a championship was organized and finally introduced professional status footballers. The upper salary bar was set at 1,200 marks (for amateurs - 320), and a bonus was introduced for "especially qualified players." Prize for the "gold" of the championship - 2,000 pro Nos marks! (on the nose), and 1,500 for winning the Cup. The maximum bonus could be received by a player who played at least 700 games for his club. They did not ignore punishments and fines, they adopted a football law. They finally ended "amateurism" in 1970.

1962 was a turning point for Bayern as well - Wilhelm Neudecker became president in April, who later made the Munich club a world-class club. For his character and acumen, the players nicknamed him "autocrat". New President made a bet on his own pupils, replenished the empty club cash desk from personal funds, abolished numerous honorary positions, and directed free money to the creation of an administrative service. The Bavarians began to pay players salaries and bonuses more than other clubs (the ceiling is 160 marks, in Bayern - 400). And it was necessary to look for loopholes! The club's manager, Robert Schwann (a former Munich market vegetable merchant), believed that the "spirit of poverty in which they grew up" should be banished from the players. In a special school, the players studied English, and on trips they lived in the best hotels. He called Beckenbauer the "new player" model.
DFB distributed the places in the Bundesliga as follows: South and West by 5, North - 3, South-West -2 and Berlin - 1 (taking into account all the results over the past decade, especially by the last year, the presence of their own stadium, match attendance and everything else) . There were 46 clubs wishing to join the Bundesliga, 12 of which were weeded out. The Munich people were very offended then, because the teams that took places from 4th to 6th were taken to the Bundesliga, and they finished third! Complaints came to nothing, but this temporary suspension benefited the club.

Yugoslav Zlatko Tchaikovsky, nicknamed "Chik" ("cigarette butt" - because of his small stature), was appointed head coach. Zlatko was a Democratic coach, the players respected him. In 1964, Gerd Müller joined the team. As Franz later said: “Without Muller, we would have fucking gone to the Bundesliga, and no one knows where we would be now!” So, an unknown young man from Nordlinger came to training and asked to play. The coach was in a good mood, he allowed the kid to kick the ball, but after half an hour he begged him to stay on the team! It is noteworthy that during the game in his city, out of 304 team goals, Gerd scored 180! The talent was noticed by TSV and agreed with him to sign a contract. Fembek and Sorg (managers of Bayern) came to talks with Muller. The representative of TSV was late - "wer zuerst kommt, mahlt zuerst" (whoever is first is right). The price of the contract is 3,000 marks, the salary is 160 and 400 for the purchase of furniture. The coach identified the newcomer as a double, and the Bavarians started the 1964/1965 season without him. Along the way, he was transferred to the base, and during the season he scored 42 goals in 36 matches. Bayern finished first and qualified for the Bundesliga. Of the 25 players, 14 were alumni of the club, and average age teams - 21.8 years. Neudecker, on the other hand, had to fulfill his promise - "If we go to the base camp, I will bypass Lake Tegeri" (circumference 27.5 km). He was accompanied by more than 500 people.
In the same year, Borussia Monchenglahbad also entered the Bundesliga. In three years, the clubs will compete in the tournament, and their leaders - Beckenbauer and Netzer will become irreconcilable rivals.

On September 26, 1965, the 20-year-old Kaiser, not yet "Kaiser", made his debut in the national team in the away official match of the 1966 World Cup selection against the Swedes, and the "Bavarian era" began again in the Bundesteam. In 1966, the team finished in third place (TSV became the champion), Franz was recognized as the best player, Muller, scoring 14 goals, became the top scorer. And won the German Cup!
In April 1966, the IOC decided to hold in Munich Olympic Games 1972. For Rothose, this meant the construction of a new stadium at ... public expense. In the 1966/1967 season, Munich won two cups - on May 31 in the KOC final in Nuremberg they beat Rangers 1-0, and on June 10 in Stuttgart in the final of the German Cup they beat Hamburg 3-1. Bayern was named team of the year. Tchaikovsky's successor in 1968 was also the Yugoslav Branko Zebec. It was the exact opposite of "Chick" - he considered any team solely as a fighting unit. Zebets changed tactics, and his motto is "Only success counts." The rebuilt Bayern failed at first, but then issued the championship ahead of schedule - back in the 30th round, beating Cologne 1-0, and the gap from second place was 8 points. No one has ever won a championship like this! In that season, the Bayern again won the Cup - the first double in the history of the Rothose. A complete triumph, because in that season only 13 players played for the Bavarians. A year later, Borussia Monchenglahbad became the champion, and the rivalry between these teams brought German football to the first places in Europe. However, Bayern failed their debut in the KEC - in the first round they lost to Saint-Etienne. Müller again became the best player in the Bundesliga, and in 1970, the first German player to receive the Golden Ball.

There was a recession, but the president was not afraid of losing players - back in the brilliant 1968/1968 season, he renegotiated contracts with them. In addition, in Italy and Spain there was a ban on foreigners, and he was not afraid of "locals". On May 13, 1970, Sebetz was dismissed and replaced by Udo Lattek. The team formed two groups: Neudecker-Schwan-Beckenbauer and Lattek-Hoeness-Breitner. Neither experts nor journalists liked the game of Latteka's team. But the team has become "younger" - the average age of the players is no more than 25 years. In the 1970/1971 season, there was a high-profile "bribery case" in which players from eight teams were involved - "rothoze" was not among them. The German Cup was again won by Bayern.

In the summer of 1971, the "great three years" came - the Bavarians won the Bundesliga three times, became the owners of the KEC, first won the European Championship as part of the national team, and then the World Championship. But in 1971, KOC lost to the Rangers in the semi-finals. In the 1971/1972 season, they broke away from the second-place Cologne by 11 points - before switching to the 3 points for a win system in 1995, no one could repeat this result. And the average attendance of matches crossed the 30,000 mark. Muller is the best again...
In the summer of 1974, the split in the Munich camp became more noticeable - groups were fighting for power. Karl-Heinz Rummenige joined the team from Borussia Lipstadt. On January 2, 1975, Lattek was mailed a contract termination notice. The coach was Dettmar Kramer - "the strongest theoretician among practitioners." Kramer was a good psychologist- he did "work on the mistakes", changed the training process, strengthened the team - "shaken and calmed". The coach's players loved him, calling him the "running meter" and "Napoleon" because of his short stature. The team finished the season in 10th place, and Mayer became the best player of the year, having conceded…63 goals! The coach diagnosed the Bavarians as a "dying team". Munich shook up, and won the KECH for the second time. Kramer slowly rebuilt the team, the results improved, and again the Red Pants won the KEC - for the third time in a row ... Bayern will win until the death," Neudecker said at the banquet. And he jinxed it - in the following years the British excelled.

In 1976, Munich, having beaten Cruzeiro, won the Intercontinental Cup. The period from 1965 to 1976 is the most successful for the Bavarians - four wins in the BL, four German Cups, three wins in the KEC, one in the OK and one MK. Three Golden Balls: Müller (1970), Beckenbauer (1972 and 1976), seven Player of the Year titles: Beckenbauer four times, Müller twice and Mayer once - in 1977 and 1978 he will again become the best. The victories and the general "television" made the team not only a Bavarian, but also a German club - they had fans all over the country.

But the time has come for the heroes to leave - age, injuries ... It was impossible to replace them, and there was no one to replace them. May 21, 1977 last match Franz Beckenbauer played for Bayern – the German football legend moved to Cosmos (New York). They named a number of reasons - both the scandal around his relationship with a photojournalist, and the claims of the tax authorities for non-payment of taxes (first 1.8 million marks, then the amount was reduced to one). By the way, the Bavarians demanded 1.75 million marks for the transfer, the Americans gave only 1.4 - Franz personally paid the missing 350 thousand. The 1977/1978 season was the most unsuccessful - 12th place. There was a castling of coaches - Gyula Lorant came to the team. The new mentor began to rebuild the defense of the Bavarians according to the "zone type", and for the first time at the end of the year, Bayern were left without European cups ...

The following year, "red" Breitner returned to the team. He moved from Spain to Eintracht in Brunswick back in 1977 (by the way, it was the president of this club who first introduced the practice of "fixing" players with advertising stripes). Paul assured the president that with his arrival, the Munich team would again become champions. The player immediately began to conflict with the coach, bringing him to the hospital, and then said: "We must prove that in the future we can do without Mr. Laurent." In February, Lorant left, replaced by his assistant Pal Chernai, who is considered by the president as a temporary option. The main candidate was the Austrian Mark Merkel - but the whole team was categorically against it - the dictator! Neudecker set a condition – if “Bayern” from two away matches will bring at least half of the points – the Hungarian will remain. After the first match, the players found out that the agreement with Merkel was still signed - and vetoed it. Riot? The media relished the scandal with might and main, and on March 19, the president resigned. The new Bayern will be built by others ...

The first of them arrived in Munich on March 21 - 27-year-old Uli Hoeness. By that time, Muller was no longer in the team either - offended by Chernay, Gerd left for the American Fort Lauderdale. And about. Wiley Hoffman (Wiley Champagne), who worked as club treasurer, became president. At the end of the season, he dropped the prefix "acting", and led the team until 1985. His main “achievement” is that from now on the players posed for photos in Bavarian national costumes.... He did not interfere in football affairs - Hoeness was the manager. The team was led by Breitner, who tried to create a new hierarchy. It was then that the new Bayern began to be created. It was Hoeness and Breitner, with all their selfishness, who managed to pull the club out of the abyss - they paid off their debts, agreed with sponsors, found new sources of funding and, subsequently, made Rothoze one of the richest and most powerful clubs in the world.

In 1979, due to a car accident, the permanent Sepp Mayer ended his career (he missed only three games in 14 seasons - 473 matches!). He was replaced by 21-year-old Walter Junghans. And in the 1979/1980 season, Bayern, after a six-year break, again won the championship. But in the Cup they were eliminated by a third-rate team from Baytroth, and in the KUEFA semi-finals they lost to Eintracht. "Player of the Year" and the owner of the "Golden Ball" was Calais.

On February 17, 1982, a private plane crashed near Hannover - only Uli Hoeness survived. On that day, the match between the national teams of Germany and Portugal was scheduled, and two days later the game of the 1/4 finals of the German Cup was to take place. Losing 0-1, the Bavarians won, and Breitner said: "I dedicate these two balls to Uli. Maybe it will help ..."

Worse the next season financial position, and Chernai, still unaware of his resignation, set out to sign Serena Lerbi (“Ajax”). "Make no mistake, this is our last money," Willy Hoffmann told coach. In the same year, Breitner ended his career due to injury, the only Bavaria who did not switch to club work. "As long as I'm alive, he won't be here" - Uli Hoeneß.

Two rounds before the end of the championship, at the request of the general sponsor of Iveco, Chernai was fired. Uli remembered this - from now on, only the manager will bring and fire everyone in the club. Lattek became the head coach again. He worked for four seasons - won the Bundesliga three times and the German Cup once. Rummenige moved to Inter for 10.5 million marks (before Ballack moved to Chelsea, this is the most significant transfer). Lothar Matthäus joined the team.

In 1986, Bayern faced the challenge of winning the KECH again. In the return semi-final in the match against Real Madrid in Madrid, stones, knives, rebar flew at the players, and Hoeness, who inadvertently approached the bench of Madrid, received a blow to the right in the jaw from one of the assistants to the head coach del Bosque! But the Munich team won, and in the final they faced Porto. Lost. Lattek was denied a contract extension and Jupp Heynckes was invited. The season turned out to be unsuccessful, and Uli took up the "personnel issue". Useless, in his opinion, players were distributed to other clubs, and the team, after a shake-up, became the champion.
In the summer of 1989, the Opel concern became a sponsor (Hoeness persuaded them to do this). Automagnates allocated 6 million marks a year for the development of the club. Went income and from cooperation with cable television. In 1990, Rothose celebrated its 90th anniversary - another championship title.

The following year, the team was replenished with Effenberg and Laudrup. Their arrival team, in fact, ruined. 1991 was the year of the destruction of the hierarchy and the end of Bayern as a team. It was the end of the second "golden" season of Munich. Result: three Cups and seven championships. And not a single European Cup.

In the summer of 1991, the "connection of times" broke up - the new players were only concerned with money. The unification of Germany led to the expansion of the Bundesliga to 20 teams (a year later they returned to 18). Heynckes was fired, the recession began again. Soren Lerby was appointed coach, and Beckenbauer and Rummenige were appointed vice presidents. Lerby soon retired, replaced by Erich Ribbeck (sponsors insisted). The new coach managed to keep the team from relegation, and ... that's it.

In 1992, they sold the broadcasting rights to the Kirch-Springer company, additional money appeared, and 23.5 million marks were allocated for transfers. In addition, Effenberg and Laudrup "left". Matthäus returned to the team, at the insistence of Beckenbauer. It took two seasons to return to the top. In the 1993/1994 season, there was another conflict between the players and the coach, and Beckenbauer moved from the office to the coaching bench. Realizing that "there will be no more balls", the players began to fully work out their salaries - Matthäus was the "coach" on the field. The result is champions again. "Franz succeeds in whatever he undertakes." Beckenbauer handed over the team to Trapattoni and became club president. From now on, Bayern will be led by former players - a unique phenomenon for today's football! Another one has begun new era". The management intended to turn the Munich into a "dream team - Dreamteam". Oliver Kahn was bought to the place of the goalkeeper from Karlsruhe, Babel was returned from Hamburg. But Trapattoni left - the team took only sixth place. Or maybe because that he did not know the language? "My strength is in individual approach to every player, I have to talk to him"...

The new mentor was Otto Rehhagel, ex-enemy No. 1, who created a great team in Bremen. At the same time, Jurgen Klinsmann was signed, and a new favorite of the fans, Mehmet Scholl, grew up in his own school. But the season is again “empty” – the resignation of Rehhagel, unable to cope with the Munich super-stars. But in 1996, the Rothose, having won the UEFA Cup, made the collection of European cups in their own museum complete.

In the summer, Trap was called again. Two of his seasons - the championship and second place, and even the Cup of the country. "I've had enough!" said the coach and left. Finally.

In the summer of 1998, the third "golden era of the Bavarians" began - Ottmar Hitzfeld came to the team. The iconic German coach spent six years in Munich, winning the league title five times, the cup three times and the Champions League in 2001. This was the third Champions League final for Hitzfeld: before that, Ottmar won the tournament with Borussia (Dortmund) and lost it at the Camp Nou, Manchester United with Bayern.

In 2004, Hitzfeld left - his place was taken by Felix Magath, under whom Bayern were unbeatable for several years. But the players did not like the way the "rocker" worked, and he had to leave. For a short time, the club was again headed by Hitzfeld, after which the head coach was entrusted to Jürgen Klinsmann. Uli Hoeness trusted the fashion for young coaches. The experiment did not justify itself - "Clinsy" failed everything that could be failed. When Jurgen was driven out, the team on short term headed "pulled out of mothballs" Jupp Heynckes, who managed to win second place with the team. In the summer of 2009, Heynckes left for Bayer Leverkusen to create a team in Leverkusen that could compete with Bayern. And the Dutchman Louis van Gaal moved to Munich, who invited his countryman Robben from Madrid “Real”. At first, van Gaal did not succeed, the coach was mercilessly criticized, but by the winter, Bayern woke up and gave out an impressive unbeaten streak, coming out on top in the championship right after the 110th anniversary. Robben was the team's best player that season.

The 2012/13 season was the most successful in the history of Bayern. Despite the fact that in January it became known that after the end of this season, Josep Guardiola will become the head coach of the team. Jupp Heynckess, who led Bayern, continued to squeeze the maximum out of his team, making it one hundred percent the strongest in Europe, and even in the world. Bayern effortlessly won the Bundesliga, the German Cup and also won the Champions League, crushing everyone in their path, including Barcelona, ​​who lost to the Germans with a total score of 7:0. Such an achievement cannot be surpassed, it can only be repeated.
