When CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen joined FC Bayern Munich in 2013, the coach was Jupp Heynckes.
“Jupp Heynckes was not only a great player and outstanding coach, but above all a man of principle, with heart and with a fine intuition for people. At FC Bayern he earned the greatest respect and affection. I think back particularly fondly to 2013: he formed a very good team into a band of brothers, in his own inimitable way – and made club history with the first treble.
“Dear Jupp, you were coach when I came to Bayern, ‘my first’ coach’ if you like. I offer you my warmest wishes on your special day – and say thank you for everything you’ve given football and us at FC Bayern.”
