Why Bayern Munich Chief Refused to Sign Kevin-Prince Boateng

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Bayern Munich could have added Ghanaian international Kevin-Prince Boateng to their roster but for the intervention of then-president Uli Hoeneß.

This was revealed by the club's former assistant coach, Hermann "Tiger" Gerland, who tried to convince Hoeneß to sign the budding talent.

Boateng, who was one of the most promising players in Germany by then, was proposed to Hoeneß to sign him, but Gerland's recommendation hit a snag.
