Dieter Reiter, the mayor of Munich, has expressed that he is considering stepping down from his positions within FC Bayern's supervisory board in light of recent criticisms related to his unauthorized secondary employment. He acknowledged the need for introspection on whether to continue with these roles which have sparked controversy. In remarks made to the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation's political magazine 'Kontrovers,' Reiter stated that he is actively reflecting on his future in these roles and intends to announce his decision in a timely manner.

The decision comes at a time of political vulnerability for Reiter, who recently suffered a significant loss in the municipal elections, securing only 35.6% of the votes. This has led him into a runoff against Green party candidate Dominik Krause scheduled for March 22. Reiter's involvement with the supervisory board has now come under scrutiny, particularly regarding the financial implications of his offices and the associated remunerations, an issue he promises to clarify in the days to come.

Reiter's situation highlights the intersection of local governance and the responsibilities that come with being part of a prominent football club's administrative structure. As he contemplates his future, the outcome of his decision about the supervisory board will not only affect his political trajectory but could also signify how closely linked local sports management is with municipal accountability.
