Guardiola expresses support for jailed Hoeness

Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has expressed support for jailed former president Uli Hoeness following his resignation from the club.

Hoeness stepped down from his position as president and chairman of the club’s supervisory board on Friday after he was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for tax evasion.

The 62-year-old was found guilty of seven counts of tax evasion, defrauding authorities of a total of €27.2million.

Herbert Hainer, who had previously held the post of deputy chairman of the supervisory board, has been named as chairman until further notice.

But, ahead of Saturday’s clash with Bayer Leverkusen, Guardiola insisted that he will remain friends with Hoeness.

“I’ve been only a few months here and I’ve seen how important Uli Hoeness is for this club,” Guardiola said.
