At 38 years old, Manuel Neuer is showing no signs of slowing down at Bayern Munich, despite having made the choice to retire from Germany’s international squad. Bayern’s legendary goalkeeper recently hinted at what his future could potentially look like at the club.
In an interview with kicker, Neuer spoke about how his retirement plans at the club could play out.
“If we have a successful season with the new coaching team and new momentum, that also means it’s fun for me,” Neuer said (as captured by kicker journalist Georg Holzner). “And if it’s fun, then I’ll definitely keep going.”
So, this season’s success doesn’t just decide the trajectory of the club as a whole, but also a club legends future on the grounds. Fans will be watching closely, knowing that a strong season could mean they get to see Neuer between the posts for at least one more year. This new era at Sabener Strasse seems to be deciding a lot of things for the club, so fans can only hope that everything goes in the right direction.
