He was meant to keep the stars fit: Kompany confidant leaves Bayern | OneFootball

He moved to FC Bayern Munich with Vincent Kompany in July 2024, but now Bram Geers' time at Säbener Straße is already over: The former athletic trainer of the German record champion has joined the Belgian first division club RSC Anderlecht with immediate effect, the Belgians confirmed this morning.

Particularly bitter for Munich: Geers was a big hope to keep the Bayern stars fit in the long run, more so than was the case under predecessor Thomas Tuchel. It's questionable whether Munich was satisfied with his performance given the still large injury ward.

Geers was not only an athletic trainer at Bayern, he was also a permanent member of Vincent Kompany's coaching staff. At the beginning of training, he led the warm-up program and, according to 'Bild', had a lot to say in secret training sessions.

Rumors of a possible move to Anderlecht have been circulating since May, now the return to his homeland for the Belgian is official. At Anderlecht, he is promoted to Fitness Head, responsible for the direction of the medical department and the athletic area.

According to 'Bild' information, the 32-year-old had been flirting with a move for private reasons for months, and on Thursday he is said to have said goodbye to the team with a celebration. His duties have recently been taken over by Markus Murrer, who moved from Eintracht Frankfurt.
