Müller before saying goodbye: FC Bayern is planning without the club icon!
Thomas Müller, the undisputed icon of FC Bayern Munich, faces an uncertain future. The 35-year-old, who is one of the most successful players in the club's history and adored by fans, could be thinking about the next phase of his life as early as the summer of 2025. Reports from the “Münchner Abendzeitung” indicate that his contract expires after this season and a decision about his playing career is still pending, while the club is also apparently operating in austerity mode. It remains to be seen whether Müller will actually become a victim of this financial realignment krone.at reported.
Considerations about the future
In recent interviews, Müller, the 2014 world champion, has spoken openly about his thoughts on the future. He emphasizes that his full focus is currently on his playing time. Still, he has also hinted that he might consider options in coaching, as a television pundit or even in horse breeding. “There are some roles in the football world that suit me well,” he explains. However, he remains pragmatic and doesn't want to commit too early. A managerial position was brought up by supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, but Müller remains vague when it comes to future roles in the football world. “At some point I’ll have to make a decision – but it’s not now,” he is quoted as saying bild.de.
The pressure in the current situation is great as he has recently been used as a reserve player under new coach Vincent Kompany. In a recent game against FC Augsburg, Müller only came onto the pitch two minutes before the end. Despite the changed role, he continues to have positive conversations about Kompany and its approaches to training. “The hard work we do against the ball is rewarded – with more possession, control and fun in the game,” said Müller. But the question remains: How long will he be part of this game?
