🚨 Fan protests succeed, Boateng will not be joining FC Bayern as a trainee | OneFootball

The initially planned internship of Jerome Boateng with the coaching staff of FC Bayern will not take place. What several media outlets had already reported was made official by the record champion on Saturday evening.

"In a constructive exchange that FC Bayern and Jérôme Boateng had this week, it was decided that Jérôme Boateng will not intern at FC Bayern," stated a brief press release.

The cancellation of this plan was attributed to the former national player himself. "Jérôme feels very connected to FC Bayern and does not want the club to suffer any harm due to the current controversial discussions surrounding his person," the Munich club shared.

Background: Boateng is aiming for a coaching career following the end of his active playing career. For this, he wanted to observe the training processes under Vincent Kompany for ten days. "We would approve of this," explained sports director Max Eberl recently.

However, in recent days, there has been significant opposition: parts of the Bayern fans protested because Boateng was convicted and warned in 2024 for intentional bodily harm to an ex-girlfriend.

Although he denies the act, he received a fine of 200,000 euros. Nevertheless, he is not considered to have a criminal record, as the judge saw no evidence of repeated violent acts.
