MUNICH (AP): Franz Beckenbauer has questioned Bayer Munich coach Louis van Gaal's reported decision to switch goalkeepers in midseason without consulting other club officials.
Honorary club president Beckenbauer writes in his Bild newspaper column Monday that Van Gaal runs the risk of not having the backing of top club officials for his "risky" move.
Although not questioning the decision on sporting grounds, Beckenbauer says the coach should have discussed it first with the front office.
Van Gaal has not confirmed that he intends to bench 36-year-old veteran Hans-Joerg Butt in favor of Thomas Kraft, but has hinted at the possibility.
