Normally, if a famous man endorses a family member in any business, there would be calls of nepotism. This case is a little more different, though. Bayern Munich’s honorary president, Uli Hoeneß, recently talked to German news site Bild and was asked if Sebastian Hoeneß has what it takes to be Bayern’s head coach in the future. The senior Hoeneß’ answer was very clear.
“Yes, he does. What he’s achieved with VfB Stuttgart is truly remarkable,” Hoeneß said, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. “He took them
over when they were at the bottom of the table, won the cup, played in the Champions League, and now they’re back in the top five and in the cup semi-finals, despite losing some top players. He’s really capable.”
Furthermore, he has experience as a Bayern coach, having trained multiple of the Bavarians’ youth teams. Most notably he won the 3. Liga title with the team’s U-23s. Of course, his time at TSG Hoffenheim and most notably at Stuttgart are far more indicative of his quality as a coach. Taking Stuttgart from a team heading for relegation, getting them to finish 2nd the next year and turning them into one of the regular top six teams in the league is a remarkable achievement. Hoeneß’ quality as manager is very established.
But Bayern fans will hope the club retains current head coach Vincent Kompany for the time being.
