In March 2020, Bayern Munich’s coach Hansi Flick publicly called for new players. The sporting director, Hasan Salihamidžić, clearly disliked this. Flick had also asked for a veto on transfers. A sports site wrote that there had already been Kompetenzgerangel, wrangling over competences, with the previous coach. During the 2020/21 season the disagreements continued. Club officials objected that Flick had contacted players he wanted on his own. In April 2021, after winning the league, the cup and the Champions League in 2019/20, Flick said he wanted to end his contract early.
