Matthäus certain: "Müller will be Bayern president!" | OneFootball

Lothar Matthäus has a clear vision for Thomas Müller's future. The record national player is convinced that the World Cup winner will one day be at the helm of FC Bayern.

Thomas Müller is currently enjoying his time with the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS, where he continues to score regularly. In the show Blickpunkt Sport, he spoke openly about his close connection to the record champions. The attacking player said with a laugh: “The path is basically mapped out.” He added: “The contact is very, very good.”

For Lothar Matthäus, the future of the Bayern veteran is clear anyway. The Sky expert explained: “In what role, he can choose for himself! He can write on top whatever he wants to become. I can even imagine him as president someday. Who embodies Bayern Munich more than Thomas Müller?”

“Time for a new tone at the top”

Matthäus also advocates for a generational change in the club’s leadership: “It’s time for FC Bayern to bring such people back to the very top. Schweinsteiger isn’t there, Lahm isn’t there. I believe that Thomas, at some point, when he feels the time is right for himself, will take on a role at Bayern Munich. And in the end, he’ll become president someday!”

Müller himself remains reserved when asked about his future. In the same interview, he said: “That’s music of the future. I’m aware of that. I know my skill set. But still, I have no idea whether I could be a good coach and whether I want to be a good coach. And whether I could be a good sports official and whether I want to be a good sports official.”

The 36-year-old’s contract in Vancouver initially runs until the end of the year, with an option for another season. At the 2026 World Cup, Müller will also be working as a TV expert. When his path will lead him back to Munich, however, seems only a matter of time.
