On 23 October 1991, Bayern lost 6-2 in the 2nd round of the UEFA Cup in Copenhagen (Copenhagen scorers: Manniche (2), Nielsen, Wegner, Kraus, Uldbjerg; Munich: Mazinho, Münch). Just days earlier, Jupp Heynckes had been sacked by manager Uli Hoeneß; after the defeat, doubts grew about coaching novice Sören Lerby.
