German powerhouse Bayern Munich made a bit of a disappointing start to the season, but the Bavarians are still in the race to win the DFB Pokal and Champions League halfway through the 2009-10 campaign, while they're also sitting in a good position in the Bundesliga table.

Sporting director Christian Nerlinger has made it clear that he's quite satisfied with Bayern's results so far.

"I’m very satisfied. We’ve ended up extremely well placed in all three competitions. Obviously, it’s not been a particularly consistent first half of the season, especially at the start," said Nerlinger on the official Bayern website.

"There were so many changes: a new team, a new coach, new players, so it was patchy to start with. It was hard for everyone involved, so it makes it even better that in the crucial phase of the campaign, where a huge amount was at stake against Haifa and Juventus, that the team showed true character, and turned in unbelievable performances.

"It makes me very confident for the future. There’s a solid core and foundation to the team now, we’re ready to seize the initiative, and that’s a good basis for success."
