Berlin — German prosecutors said Monday they won't appeal the tax fraud verdict against football legend Uli Hoeness, former boss of powerhouse Bayern Munich, freeing the way for his jail term to begin.
Hoeness, 62, who spent four decades at the champion club, will in coming weeks start a three-and-a-half-year prison sentence handed down by a court last Thursday, which he has also said he will not contest.
The Bayern chief is currently due to serve his term in Landsberg prison in southern Bavaria state, prosecution spokesman Ken Heidenreich told AFP.
That is the jail where Adolf Hitler wrote "Mein Kampf" while serving a sentence for treason after the failed 1923 Beer Hall Putsch uprising in Munich.

I think generally (but not always) great players don't make great coaches/GMs/execs. But Bayern's front office always seems to have several.
Sorry, didn’t see your post anyway, MUFC has lost to Bayern Munich two times in recent years under Sir Alex. So, there’s not much to expect here, Moyes may have them playing the matches of their careers.
