Bayern: Neuer reveals his ideal successor

Manuel Neuer names his heir at Bayern Munich
Manuel Neuer knows that time is starting to catch up with him. At 39, the Bayern and Germany legend is in his fifteenth season in Bavaria and can feel the end of a career that redefined the goalkeeper's role drawing near. Fully aware of the importance of preparing for the future, the Bavarian captain spoke candidly about the club's plans for the number one shirt.
"It's a real pleasure to work together... He will have no trouble succeeding me and will do so without a doubt. He has unwavering support from Sven and from me."
Powerful words for a young keeper who still has only a handful of matches under his belt.
Neuer emphasized the positive team dynamic:
"We support each other every day... He has already shown in matches that he's up to the task."
This revelation highlights not only the veteran's clarity but also the confidence that Urbig inspires, now firmly established as a serious contender to succeed the greatest goalkeeper of his generation.
