Christian Streich rules out coaching return and hails Kompany’s anti-racism stance | OneFootball

According to BuLi News, Christian Streich has ruled out a return to management for the foreseeable future. He says he is content away from the touchline and has praised Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany for a powerful anti-racism message.

Streich left SC Freiburg in summer 2024 after more than a decade in charge, and is enjoying a break from the pressures of professional football.

He indicated he feels comfortable with his current lifestyle and does not miss the intense daily demands of top-level management, reflecting on a long and influential spell that made him one of the Bundesliga’s most recognisable figures.

Despite stepping away, he remains engaged with the game and recently praised Kompany’s thoughtful response to a racist incident involving Real Madrid forward Vinícius Jr.

Streich underlined the responsibility on prominent figures in football to use their platform, noting Kompany’s willingness to address sensitive issues openly and the potential impact beyond the sport.

Kompany’s stance has drawn wide attention within football, and Streich’s endorsement carries weight given his reputation. For now he remains outside the dugout, yet his voice continues to resonate in German football.
