Kahn back on German TV two years after Bayern sacking
dpa Berlin Oliver Kahn wiill return to German television in the coming season, two years after he was sacked as Bayern Munich chief executive. He will be a regular guest on a new Sky Germany show on Thursdays talking about various football topics. However, Sky told dpa on Sunday that he would not be a pundit on matchdays. He had previously been linked in the media with a boardroom job at Hertha Berlin and also failed in a bid to buy Girondins Bordeaux. 'Football is passion, football is emotion, but it is also a multi-billion-euro business,' Kahn said in a Sky statement. 'It is important to me to analyse and contextualize the key topics and current developments in national and international football.' After the former Germany and Bayern star retired as a goalkeeper in 2008, he became a pundit for Germany's ZDF TV until he took over the running of Bayern in 2021. The 56-year-old lasted only two years in the job after the bungled firing of coach Julian Nagelsmann led the board to sack Kahn.

🎥 Eggs, we need eggs: the best moments for the Titan's birthday
🎥 Eggs, we need eggs: the best moments for the Titan's birthday There are probably few (or no?) goalkeepers in Germany who have lived football as much as Oliver Kahn. And in doing so, he has occasionally gone a bit overboard. For his 56th birthday, we delved deep into our retro box and picked out the best shots of the Titan. For his birthday today, we wish him a victory for his Bayern at the Club World Cup against Auckland City. And maybe a bit more composure than he had during his active playing days. Happy birthday!

Ex-Germany goalkeeper Kahn backs out of Bordeaux deal
FORMER Germany and Bayern Munich goalkeeper Oliver Kahn said on Monday he has backed out of a potential deal to buy struggling fourth-tier French club Bordeaux. Kahn sent an open letter to local newspaper Sud Ouest explaining he was not willing to pay the 50 million euros ($57.2 million) to fulfil the deal. 'It is therefore with great disappointment, despite extensive preparatory work and rigorous analysis, that we have taken the carefully considered decision not to pursue our takeover project,' he said in the letter seen by AFP. Six-time French champions Bordeaux are currently in Nationale 2 after falling into financial difficulties.

Oliver Kahn pulls out of Bordeaux takeover talks
Oliver Kahn has pulled out his formal bid to take over fourth-tier side Girondins de Bordeaux. The ex-Germany international goalkeeper and his investment partners filed a 'plan de cession' last week with the court-appointed administrators and legal officials handling Bordeaux's ongoing financial crisis under the mandate of owner and club president Gérard Lopez. The submission arrived on the eve of a critical Commercial Court hearing in which the current club leadership would have presented its own proposal aimed at ensuring the club's survival. 'This winter, I decided to consider becoming the new owner of the Girondins de Bordeaux', Kahn wrote in a letter published by Sud Ouest. 'In January 2025, I submitted a formal offer to the current owner, later accompanied by proof of funds, and then presented an offer to the court administrator.' The former Bayern Munich CEO then adds he would not inject the €50m sum he previously committed to his takeover bid in light of the financial, operational and legal information shared with his investment partners.
