A biography for Karl-Heinz Rummeniggehasn’t been written yet.
“No club in the world is able to sign a Bayern Munich player with an ongoing contract if we do not want to sell.”
“Alphonso Davies has an incredible pace and a great will to learn.”
“Bayern Munich will neither make excuses nor apologise for our good work.”
“We don't build success on debt and this goes down very well with outside observers and is often held up as an example for other clubs and associations. Bayern are successful, but not on borrowed money. We succeed with money we've previously earned ourselves.”
“Jupp told us that he wanted to end his career. That is when we started to deal with the issue intensively and when we began negotiations with Guardiola.”
“We are of the opinion that we can achieve a great deal more by way of a dialogue than by a permanently critical attitude.”
“It would be crazy to make the future dependent on one game.”
“Every big team has some key players, on whom they tend to rely.”
“When the players have all long returned home and are relaxing on the sofa, Guardiola is still around and working on a masterplan for the next game.”
“I have respect for Arsene.”
“Louis van Gaal was not always easy-care. He wanted to 'Vangaalise' our club. He has a huge ego.”
“We have no democracy in Fifa.”
“Inter is undoubtedly special, Bayern is also special in Germany totally different from other Bundesliga clubs.”
“Ivica Olic is so popular because he always fights like a devil.”
“Higuain is a fantastic player, we at Bayern like him.”
“Whoever publicly criticises the club or his team-mates will get in trouble with me personally.”
“You can't rule out that, in the future, we could create a European league with the major clubs from Italy, Germany, England, Spain and France, under the umbrella of UEFA or a private organisation.”
“We shouldn't make life any harder for ourselves.”
“Pep and I text each other, he's not a fan of WhatsApp.”
“Pep's a genius. He's made Bayern a bit more professional. He's got high expectations, but he also respects the culture of this club. He has many ideas, sometimes unusual ones, but never crazy.”
