Karl-Heinz "Kalle" Rummenigge ({{IPA|de|ˌkaʁlˈhaɪnts ˈkalə ˈʁʊmənɪɡə|lang}}; born 25 September 1955) is a German football executive and former professional player. Considered as one of the best players of his generation and one of the greatest German footballers ever, he was also the longtime Chairman of Executive Board of FC Bayern München AG, a daughter company of German Bundesliga team Bayern Munich.

As a player, Rummenigge had his greatest career success with Bayern Munich, where he won the Intercontinental Cup, two European Cups, as well as two league titles and two domestic cups. He also won two Ballon d'Or awards, in 1980 and 1981. In 2004, Rummenigge was named by Pelé in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players.{{Cite news |date=4 March 2004 |title=Pele's list of the greatest |language=en-GB |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/3533891.stm |access-date=21 May 2023 |archive-date=3 March 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150303061731/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/3533891.stm |url-status=live }}

A member of the West Germany national team, Rummenigge won the 1980 European Championship and was part of the squad that finished runner-up in the 1982 FIFA World Cup and at the 1986 World Cup.

Rummenigge is a former chairman of the European Club Association (ECA), serving in that capacity from 2008 until 2017. He also served as representative of the ECA to the UEFA Executive Committee from 2021 to 2024.{{cite web |url=https://fcbayern.com/en/news/2021/04/karl-heinz-rummenigge-appointed-to-uefa-executive-committee |title=Karl-Heinz Rummenigge appointed to UEFA Executive Committee |publisher=FC Bayern Munich |date=20 April 2021 }}

Club career

Rummenigge was born in Lippstadt, North Rhine-Westphalia.{{cite web | url = https://www.dfl.de/de/profile/karl-heinz-rummenigge/ | title = Karl-Heinz Rummenigge | language = de | website = DFL | access-date = 15 June 2025}}

He joined Bayern Munich in 1974, coming from the Westphalian amateur side Borussia Lippstadt, for a transfer fee of {{circa}}{{currency|10,000|EUR|passthrough=yes}}.{{cite web | url = https://www.spiegel.de/sport/rechts-und-links-a-b2a23829-0002-0001-0000-000014319502 | title = Rechts und links | language = de | website = Der Spiegel | date = 20 January 1980 | access-date = 15 June 2025}} He immediately showed great strength as a dribbler. His scoring qualities were initially insignificant, but would find great improvement in later years, particularly after the arrival of coach Pal Csernai in 1979. In 1979–80, he scored 26 goals and became for the first time the Bundesliga's top striker, a feat he repeated in 1981 and 1984 with 29 and 26 goals, respectively.{{cite web | url = https://fcbayern.com/de/club/historie/hall-of-fame/karl-heinz-rummenigge | title = Karl-Heinz Rummenigge | language = de | website = FC Bayern Munich | access-date = 15 June 2025}}

With Bayern he won the European Cup in 1975 and 1976. In 1975, he did not take part in the final of the competition, whilst in the year thereafter a glass of brandy sufficiently prepared the nervous Rummenigge to contribute to the defeat of AS Saint-Étienne.{{cite web | url = https://www.sueddeutsche.de/sport/endspiele-des-fc-bayern-von-katsche-bis-kahn-1.947776 | title = Von Katsche bis Kahn | language = de | website = Süddeutsche Zeitung | date = 20 May 2010 | access-date = 15 June 2025}} In the same year he became also part of the team that prevailed in the Intercontinental Cup finals against Cruzeiro EC from Belo Horizonte.

In the era of coach Csernai, he found in midfielder Paul Breitner a congenial partner and he formed such a formidable one-two-punch that they were only called Breitnigge{{cite web | url = https://www.noz.de/sport/artikel/die-aera-breitnigge-bayern-melden-sich-zurueck-fernsehen-22575776 | title = Die Ära Breitnigge – Bayern melden sich zurück – Fernsehen überführt Treter | language = de | website = noz | date = 25 April 2013 | access-date = 15 June 2025}} (name invented by German newspaper Bild).

The club, then often dubbed as "FC Breitnigge", won in this period the Bundesliga title in 1980 and 1981, and the DFB-Pokal in 1982 and 1984. A renewed triumph in the European Cup was denied, when the club lost the 1982 final narrowly against Aston Villa. In the season before Rummenigge was top-scorer in this competition with 6 goals.

His substantial contribution to the successes of the club and the Germany national football team found also expression in personal honours. In 1980, he was named German Footballer of the Year and in 1980–81 the European Footballer of the Year.

In 1984, aged 29, he was sold for a record fee of €5.7m{{cite book| last = Schulze-Marmeling| first = Dietrich| title = Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters| publisher = Die Werkstatt| year = 2003| pages = 637| language = de| isbn = 3-89533-426-X}} to Inter Milan. Despite a notable beginning, in which he helped the team to compete until the end for the 1984–85 Scudetto, Rumenigge's career in Italy was mostly marred by injury problems. At the end of his contract in 1987, Rummenigge moved on to Swiss first division club Servette FC in Geneva, where he saw his career out. In his last season, 1988–89, he had his last success, becoming top scorer in the Swiss league with 24 goals.

International career

With the West Germany national team he took part in the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, 1982 World Cup in Spain and the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. In 1978, West Germany exited in the second group stage of the tournament. In 1982 and 1986, the team was runner-up behind Italy and Argentina, giving him the unique distinction of captaining the senior team to two silver medals in the FIFA World Cup.{{cite web | url = https://www.eurosport.com/football/euro-icons-1980-karl-heinz-rummenigge-and-the-new-germany_sto7772168/story.shtml | title = Euro Icons - 1980: Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and the new Germany | website = Eurosport | date = 2 June 2021 | access-date = 23 January 2023 | first = Mike | last = Gibbons}}

Rummenigge also took part in two European Championship tournaments. In the 1980 competition in Italy, West Germany defeated Belgium in the final by 2–1 to win their second UEFA Euro.

Altogether, between 1976 and 1986, Rummenigge amassed 95 caps and scored 45 goals for West Germany, including one in extra-time in the 1982 World Cup semi-final victory over France, and one in the losing 1986 World Cup final match against Argentina. He also scored a hat-trick in a group stage game against Chile during the 1982 World Cup.

Style of play

One of the most talented attacking players of his generation, Rummenigge was often lauded as a highly versatile forward, capable of playing as a second striker, winger, or flat-out centre forward. His main strengths were his pace, dribbling, heading and goalscoring ability, from both close range and from outside the box. He also had a penchant for scoring from awkward situations.

Rummenigge was also praised for his both-footedness, leadership and physical strength. However, his later career was greatly affected by injuries, in particular after his move to Inter Milan.

Bayern Munich management

In autumn 1991, Bayern Munich invited Franz Beckenbauer and Rummenigge to return to the club as vice presidents. Rummenigge held this position until February 2002, when he was appointed Chairman of Executive Board of the newly corporatised football department of the club (FC Bayern München AG).{{cite web | url = https://fcbayern.com/en/club/company | title = FC Bayern AG Company | publisher = fcbayern.com | access-date = 14 June 2019}} According to the club, "in his role as chairman he is responsible for external relations, new media, board affairs and representing the holding company on national and international bodies."

During his tenure, Bayern Munich managed to move to their new stadium, Allianz Arena.{{cite web |url=https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/karl-heinz-rummenigge-bayern-munich-germany-legend-16419 |title=Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: A Bayern Munich and Germany legend on and off the pitch |website=Bundesliga |date=1 July 2021 }} Oliver Kahn took over his CEO position at Bayern Munich from 1 July 2021.{{cite web |url=https://fcbayern.com/en/news/2021/06/karl-heinz-rummenigge-steps-down-as-ceo---oliver-kahn-succeeds-him-on-1-july |title=Karl-Heinz Rummenigge steps down as CEO - Oliver Kahn succeeds him on 1 July |website=FC Bayern Munich |date=1 June 2021 }} Rummenigge was appointed a member of the supervisory board on 30 May 2023.{{cite web |title=In den Aufsichtsrat berufen: Rummenigge kehrt zum FC Bayern zurück |url=https://www.kicker.de/in-den-aufsichtsrat-berufen-rummenigge-kehrt-zum-fc-bayern-zurueck-953932/artikel |website=Kicker |publisher=Olympia Verlag |access-date=30 May 2023 |language=German}}

Miscellaneous

In April 1983, the British pop duo Alan & Denise recorded a tribute song about his "sexy knees" in the song "Rummenigge". The single reached number 43 in German charts.{{cite web|url=https://www.offiziellecharts.de/titel-details-24007|title=Official German Charts - Rummenigge|website=Offiziellecharts.de|access-date=13 November 2020}}

From 1990 until 1994, Rummenigge worked as a TV co–commentator for matches of the Germany national team.

In March 2004, he was named by Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers.

His brother Michael Rummenigge was also a noteworthy footballer. He played as forward for Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund from 1982 to 1988 and 1988 to 1994, respectively. He also represented Germany on two occasions between 1983 and 1986.

Rummenigge and his wife Martina have three sons and two daughters born between 1980 and 1991.{{cite web | url = http://www.gq-magazin.de/tags/r/karl-heinz-rummenigge | title = GQ Alles zum Thema: Karl-Heinz Rmumenigge | work = GQ | language = de | access-date = 8 September 2013 | author1 = G.
