Hoeness and Rummenigge failed in their attempt to settle the problem and instead moved the solution into the future; this makes sense as both are not yet ready to step aside. On top of this, Hoeness claims to have found a sports director that suits the club's identity. Salihamidzic, Hoeness claims, is living the club's identity without disturbing the clubs current structure.

Neither first team coach Ancelotti nor technical director Michael Reschke, responsible for transfers and scouting, nor Jochen Sauer, taking care of the education department in collaboration with Herrmann Gerland, will be affected by Salihamidzic. The 40-year-old, who played for Bayern from 1998 to 2007 and Juventus Turin from 2007 to 2011, is aware of his side-role.

Salihamidzic's job will be to find out about the atmosphere in the squad and report to the club leaders as well as to deliver assistance to the clubs education efforts for youngsters. He won't be the man for first visions shaping the clubs future. Hoeness and Rummenigge will still make decisions regarding that in the next years.

Bayern lately has invested a lot of effort to preserve the club's identity. Willy Sagnol, a former Bayern pro, was appointed assistant coach to Ancelotti. That was, in the first place, Hoeness' message to Ancelotti (and the clubs future coaches) that no one coming from outside will change the clubs identity and philosophy. Like Sagnol, Salihamidzic was part of Bayern's Champions League winning side in 2001. Since then, fans admire the man they call "Brazzo" and Hoeness stressed that was one of the reasons they gave him such an outstanding job.
