Bayern club president Herbert Hainer is exuding extreme confidence over securing the future of sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić.
Salihamidžić’s deal isn’t up for 18 months and Hainer believes there won’t be any roadblocks between Salihamidžić and a significant extension.
“We still have time. Hasan has a contract until 2023. I think he’s doing an excellent job, especially in the last few weeks with the three extensions of (Joshua) Kimmich, (Leon) Goretzka and Kingsley Coman,” Hainer said.
“But also when you see the young players, whether it’s (Josip) Stanišić, (Jamal) Musiala or Alphonso Davies, who he (Salihamidžić) brought in.
“The performances that FC Bayern bring to the pitch would not be possible without the sporting director. I’m absolutely happy with his work.”
Salihamidžić has been in his role since summer 2017 and has overseen a Bayern side that has won has been nearly unbeatable, winning their sixth Champions League title in 2020 while maintaining their stranglehold in the Bundesliga.
