With Thomas Müller’s playing days slowly coming to an end, talks of his future after Bayern Munich are starting to ramp up. Many fans are clamoring for the 35-year-old to take up a career in coaching where he can put his superior football IQ to good use, but he’s not thinking about that right now.
“There are certainly some aspects of being a coach that I like. I don’t just try to bring others forward, I also want to analyze a game – also to see where I can improve,” Müller said (BR24 as captured by Twitter account @iMiaSanMia). “I always enjoy scoring a goal myself the most. So at the moment, it’s too early to know whether being a coach is something for me.”
If does end up being coach, thrusting him into the Bayern job might turn out better compared to other coaches immediately taking up a big job. The risk is that newer coaches are sometimes way out of their depth but given Müller’s familiarity with the club, that shouldn’t be a problem.
