Oliver Kahn is set to be appointed in an executive role at Bayern München in January 2020, Bild understands.
According to the German tabloid, Kahn will initially become a member of the board. If all goes according to plan, the former Bayern keeper will then take over the role as CEO from Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 2022.
Rummenigge's contract runs until the end of 2021 which means he'll have two years to groom Kahn to become his successor.
