Rummenigge hits back at Jonker

Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has taken a swipe at former Bayern II coach Andries Jonker in the wake of his criticism towards the club.

Jonker sent an e-mail to the Bayern board earlier this week where he criticised their youth academy for lacking of a clear philosophy, among other things.

But Rummenigge believes the Dutchman should take a look at himself rather than berate others.

“He should not have written this e-mail. There are situations where you can have a bit of self-criticism. I think we can exclude that in this case,” Rummenigge told Bild.

Jonker joined Bayern in 2009 as Louis van Gaal’s assistant and was named caretaker boss in 2010/11 following the latter’s departure.

He was in charge of the Bavarians’ reserves last term, but left the club for the position of assistant coach at Wolfsburg.
