Ian Ayre’s first campaign with 1860 Munich has ended in disgrace as his side suffered relegation to the third tier of German football.

Facing Jahn Regensburg at home to remain in Bundesliga.2, the game was suspended with their side 2-0 down – 3-1 on aggregate – as supporters tried to enter the field of play.

Having finished third-from-bottom in their regular campaign, 1860 had to win their relegation play-off to retain their second-tier status.

After a 1-1 draw in Regensburg, 1860 lost 2-0 at the Allianz Arena to condemn them to 3.Liga for the first time since 1991.

During the ugly scenes in Munich, former Premier League striker Jan Aage Fjortoft – now a television pundit on German football – tweeted: “1860 Munich, the worst run club ever.”

On announcing he was joining German second-tier club 1860 Munich in February to be their chief executive, Ayre admitted they were not among the “biggest or best” teams in the country but they “undoubtedly” belong back in the Bundesliga.

That vision is now a step further away after their two-legged defeat, with the result also meaning they cannot play at the Allianz Arena next season.

Ayre stepped down after ten years with Liverpool in February, during which time he was commercial director, managing director and chief executive.
