Overview
- Mang said Herbert Hainer failed to recognize him at a Bavarian FA gathering in Ingolstadt and asked who he was and why he was there.
- The 1860 president criticized Bayern’s leadership and urged more respect and humility from the record champions.
- He also objected to Hainer announcing he was leaving for Paris for the Champions League, which Mang viewed as needlessly boastful.
- Reports emphasize the rarity of such barbs given the clubs’ sporting distance, with their last professional meeting in 2008 and 1860 in the 3. Liga since 2018–19.
- No response from Hainer or Bayern was reported, and Mang, in office since July, is in his first role in professional football.
