Augenthaler Remembers Beckenbauer's Insistence on Bayern's "Character"

Bavaria's Legacy Under Beckenbauer

Klaus Augenthaler, a former Bayern Munich player and manager, recently spoke to German publication 11Freunde about his time at the club. In the interview, Augenthaler recalled a conversation he had with Franz Beckenbauer, then Bayern's manager, about the team's style of play.

According to Augenthaler, Beckenbauer was adamant that Bayern should always play with a back four, even though Augenthaler had suggested switching to a back three. Beckenbauer's reasoning was that Bayern's "character" had always been to play with a back four, and that they should not change their style. Augenthaler eventually agreed with Beckenbauer, and Bayern continued to play with a back four for the rest of Beckenbauer's tenure as manager.

Augenthaler's comments provide an insight into Beckenbauer's managerial style. Beckenbauer was a firm believer in Bayern's traditions, and he was not afraid to make tough decisions in order to protect them. His insistence on playing with a back four was one example of this, and it helped to ensure that Bayern remained one of the most successful clubs in Europe.
