Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich defender Willy Sagnol is to see out the remainder of his contract with the Bundesliga champions, according to chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. The France international, whose deal expires in 2010, has been unsettled this season and recently criticised coach Ottmar Hitzfeld for playing him out of position. But, after speaking with future coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who met all of the Bayern players during a visit to Munich last week, Sagnol is now seemingly convinced of his future with the club. "Willy had a chat with Jurgen and he wants to use this chance to stay with Bayern,'' Rummenigge told the city's Tz newspaper. "However, it will be absolutely necessary that Willy works really hard on himself next year and Jurgen has made that clear to him." One player who won't be with Bayern next season is goalkeeper Oliver Kahn - he plays his last match before retiring against Hertha Berlin on Saturday.
