Uli Hoeness Talks Tax Evasion, Says He 'Always Ripped Open My Ass' for Bayern

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has expressed regret about committing tax evasion, which led to a prison sentence in 2014, but he believes supporters know he has always given everything for the club.

Hoeness will step down from Bayern on November 15 and has reflected on his time at the club.

He told Bayern's official magazine, 51, (h/t Goal's Stephen Crawford):

"When I look out the window in the morning, I'm happy with my 49 years at Bayern. I have not regretted a single day and I owe everything to this club—not even as an employee but I've always felt like the number one fan.
