F*ck you Magath! Get the fuck outta here!
Bring back Hitzfeld, bring him back!

In common with a multitude of Bayern fans, Felix Magath slept badly on Friday night. "I only managed two hours," he revealed in an interview with the mass circulation Bild am Sonntag tabloid. The Munich coach spent much of the small hours contemplating his side's entirely avoidable 3-2 defeat away to Borussia Dortmund, sitting himself in front of the TV for another review of 90 ultimately demoralising minutes at the Westfalen stadium, before announcing a clear verdict: his men had not showed anything near enough passion in the first league fixture after the winter break.

"I'm concerned at the way we presented ourselves. We didn't show enough determination in such an important restart match," the boss told Sunday's scheduled news conference. "We were over-confident. We had a good mid-season programme and an excellent training camp behind us, so we thought we'd boss the play with pretty football. Yet again, we've learnt that attitude is the deciding factor."

Dire warning

Nevertheless, the coach insisted, the title race was far from over. "I don't think you can now conclude we'll just keep playing that way for the rest of the season," he declared, although the Sunday newspaper interview included a stern warning to his troops. "We can't afford any more slip-ups. Time is running out for Bayern Munich. If we fail to beat Bochum on Tuesday, the title is pretty much beyond us."

It was not a question of lack of quality, the coach told the news conference. "But we have to make our quality count - and that means we have to impose our quality on the game. That in turn means we have to be willing to graft and get stuck in." Magath urged his men to show that willingness when Bayern entertain VfL Bochum on Tuesday. "I'm expecting a totally different performance against Bochum."

Still confident

Sixteen fixtures remain for the champions to close the gap to the top of the table. "I'm still convinced we'll play very good football from now on," the coach remarked. The Bayern camp aims to ensure Friday night in Dortmund was very much an exception.

I'm really not very confident after seeing a 30min highlight from our last game

Bayern Munich have sacked coach Felix Magath, according to German media reports.

The Bavarian giants slipped to fourth in the Bundesliga last night after a 0-0 draw at home to lowly VfL Bochum, just four days after a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Borussia Dortmund, and German daily Bild reported on its website that Magath has been shown the door by club bosses.

Magath's predecessor, Ottmar Hitzfeld, is favourite to take the reins at the Allianz Arena until the end of the season.

Magath led Bayern to successive league and cup doubles in the past two seasons after moving from Stuttgart, though they currently trail 6 points behind leaders Werder Bremen and Schalke, who both have a game in hand.

I hope this is true!

**Mighty T.A.L.** · 31-01-2007, 02:41 PM

It was a poor performance home against Bochum.I'm not surprised Magath had to go.

**Oliver_Kahn** · 31-01-2007, 02:47 PM

Indeed, Magath should had left earlier in the season.

Anyways, I hope Hitzfeld gets the job again and leads Bayern to the Bundesliga title

And here I was going to make a joke that Felix should worry after only drawing with Bochum at home.

Sheer panic on the part of Hoeness, Rummenigge, et al. Especially given his lack of control over transfer decisions and the impact of injuries to the likes of Hargreaves.

I don't think either buying Poldi or selling Ballack was his idea.

What an odious club they are.

**Trim** · 31-01-2007, 05:31 PM

FC Bayern München - Website, has just confirmed it.
Magath has been sacked, Hitzfeld has taken his job and will be our coach for the remaining part of the season, at least.

Great news. Forza Bayern!

Hey f*ck you buddy, you never insult a Puerto Rican! Never, you here me!
This is blasphemy, Bayern is crazy! F*ck Bayern!

The only good thing about this is that maybe now he will consider more seriously the thought of coaching the Puerto Rican National Team.

Calm down mate. You have to understand his frustration, Bayern are in 4th (!!!) place and have the best team in Germany
