Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn said the club are "dissatisfied" with their poor run of league results but still have faith in head coach Julian Nagelsmann.

Bayern's 1-0 defeat to Augsburg on Saturday was the first time in 87 matches they had failed to score in a league game and marked the first time in 20 years they have gone four league games without a win.

Bayern, who are fifth in the Bundesliga, next host Bayer Leverkusen on Sept. 30 and Kahn urged the team to respond with an attacking performance.

"We are not dealing with any other coaches now. We are totally convinced of Julian," Kahn told Sky Sports on Sunday.

"Of course we are all dissatisfied, in a bad mood. We have to get to the bottom of it. And assume that as soon as it starts again against Leverkusen, we will and must fully attack.

"Maybe the belief has taken root in one or two people that you can do the Bundesliga on the side. But that is not the case."

Everton has hired David Moyes for a second stint as manager at the Premier League club.

The move was announced Saturday, two days after the club under its new American owners fired manager Sean Dyche.

Moyes, who managed Everton from 2002-13, takes over a team that is one point above the relegation zone.

“It’s great to be back,” the 61-year-old Moyes said. “I enjoyed 11 wonderful and successful years at Everton and didn’t hesitate when I was offered the opportunity to rejoin this great club.”

The first game of his second spell in charge will be at home against Aston Villa on Wednesday.

“We are pleased that David is joining us at this pivotal time in Everton’s history,” club executive chairman Marc Watts said in the team's statement. “With over a decade of experience at the club, he is the right leader to propel us through our final season at Goodison Park and into our new stadium. We look forward to working with David to build the foundation of a new era for Everton.”
