Augenthaler: I've never lost the Bayern feeling

The Säbener Strasse, usually a hive of bustle and activity, is quiet during the summer break, but that is no reason for boredom: there is the EURO 2016 and a quartet of legends at fcbayern.de. Four Bayern legends answer four questions each. Klaus Augenthaler, who is now 58 years old, answers today's questions.

fcbayern.de: Mr Augenthaler, how closely do you follow FC Bayern nowadays?
Augenthaler: “Very closely. I'm at the Säbener Strasse on a regular basis, I watch home matches at the Allianz Arena and away matches on TV. I've never lost the feeling of belonging to the Bayern family. A while ago Philipp Lahm jokingly asked me if I wanted to drop by from time to time because they needed a fourth card player.” (laughs)

fcbayern.de: You won seven German championship titles with Bayern. Which title was the most beautiful one?
Augenthaler: “The 1986 championship. We never topped the table from Matchday 1 to 33. Only after the last one.”

fcbayern.de: You're known as a dedicated angler. Can you compare chasing fish to chasing titles in football?
Augenthaler: “No. Fishing is the exact opposite. As a player or coach you're always stressed and under pressure. I've always relaxed when fishing.”

fcbayern.de: You'll return to the bench as coach of sixth-tier SV Donaustauf this summer. Why does it appeal to you?
Augenthaler: “I've secluded myself a little over the last few years. Now I'm looking forward to taking up a position in football again. Maybe I can teach the amateurs a few things.”
