Official: Bayern opt against Boateng training stint | OneFootball

Surprising turn in the Jerome Boateng case: On Saturday evening, FC Bayern released a statement regarding a possible internship for the controversial former player. The Munich club has decided against working together.

In recent weeks, there had been discussions about Jerome Boateng doing an internship under Bayern coach Vincent Kompany, but now the Munich club has decided against such an arrangement. On Saturday evening, the German record champions published a statement.

On their own website, Bayern wrote: “In a constructive exchange between FC Bayern and Jérôme Boateng this week, it was decided that Jérôme Boateng will not be doing an internship at FC Bayern. 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.”

FCB officials recently showed openness

This is quite a surprising turn in the Jerome Boateng matter. In recent days, Munich officials including Max Eberl, Jan-Christian Dreesen, and Vincent Kompany had been quite open to such an internship.

Dreesen emphasized that the club had expressly permitted Boateng’s internship, without offering him any further role at the club. However, what matters most to the 58-year-old is the human aspect: “Vincent and Jérôme know each other from the old days. There was simply an agreement that Jérôme would observe and watch a few training sessions. And that’s all there is to it,” Dreesen clarified.

On Saturday afternoon, a BR report emerged stating that FC Bayern had now decided against a Boateng internship after all. Vincent Kompany and Max Eberl initially did not wish to comment, and in the evening, the German record champions followed up with their statement.
