Bayern's honorary president told : "Privately, our relationship was totally fine until the end. But in many areas he simply has a completely different view of how to lead a team. We wanted to try to work with more of our own players in the medium term. When I think about how many expensive players were repeatedly called for. Every time we had an injured player, there were calls for new players. It was a permanent discussion about players. I've never heard that from Vincent."
