Uli Hoeneß becomes an international match expert at RTL. The 69-year-old honorary president of Bayern Munich will analyze the German national soccer team’s World Cup qualifiers against Iceland, Romania and North Macedonia in March.
“I’m really looking forward to this interesting job, which is something completely new for me too. I’m looking forward to these three games and my new role, “said Hoeneß:” Anyone who knows me knows that I always complete every task I take on with 100 percent, and I promise that to the fans and in this case too Viewers at home in front of the television. “
Hoeneß made his first appearance at the side of moderator Florian König on March 25th. In the past, the 69-year-old had often caused a stir and talked about with his statements – whether with his legendary angry speech at the 2007 annual general meeting of FC Bayern or in conversations with football reporters.
World champions and tax evaders
RTL managing director Jörg Graf was “enthusiastic that Uli Hoeneß as an expert with his concentrated football skills and passion for sport will strengthen the RTL team for the upcoming games of the German national team,” said Graf.
The private broadcaster holds the TV rights to the qualifying games of national coach Joachim Loew’s team on the way to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The Cologne-based broadcaster shows a total of twelve games from the DFB selection, which Hoeneß will analyze together with Florian König.
Hoeneß was European champion in 1972 and world champion in 1974 with the DFB selection. As a former striker, manager, board member, president and chairman of the supervisory board, he made a significant contribution to the history of FC Bayern.
