FC Bayern Munich manager Felix Magath wants his long-haired players to get rid of their haircuts. The manager told German paper Bild that the players should take former FC Bayern star Michael Ballack as example. Ballack's haircut shows authority according Magath.

There are several players with long hair at FC Bayern currently such as Claudio Pizarro, Daniel van Buytenm Hasan Salihamidzic and Martin Demichelis.

Magath hopes his stars will take a look at Ballack's haircut.

"Ballack's haircut shows authority, commitment, belief and agressiveness. It's a sign that the player wants to do more for his club than just play football." According to Felix Magath.

Magath will not oblige his players to visit the barber.

"I would like to see them visit a barber but I won't force them, they should take the step."
