Manager: Ottmar Hitzfeld
Ottmar Hitzfeld is one of the most successful managers in the history of the game. He has twice been awarded the distinction of World Coach of the Year and he is only the second man in the history of club football to win the Champions League with two different clubs. Nicknamed The General, Hitzfeld made his name at Borussia Dortmund leading the club from mediocrity to Bundesliga and European success. His current term at Bayern Munich, which began in February 2007, is his second and hopes are that he can repeat the phenomenal results he achieved during his first tenure. Stadium: Allianz Arena The Allianz Arena is the home ground for both Bayern Munich and TSV 1860 München. Completed in 2005, the stadium is one of the most modern in the world. Its striking and unique appearance has earned it the nickname the Inflatable Boat and it can be lit up in various colours depending on which team is playing at the ground (red for Bayern Munich, blue for 1860 and white for the German national team). The facility seats a maximum of 69,901 people. FC Bayern Munich - 2007/2008 Season After finishing fourth last season, Bayern Munich's €70 million off-season spending spree suggests that the club will settle for nothing less than Bundesliga victory. The German Giant’s ranks have been bolstered with the arrivals of Klose, Ribery and Toni. While fans will be disappointed with Hargreaves departure, these new signings more than fill the gap and Bayern will be a serious threat this season.
