Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has been in the spotlight recently with the most vocal of fans asking for himm to be replaced by Jonas Urbig, especially since his statistically schocking performance against Paris Saint-Germain in the EUFA Champions League seminifinal.
Fans tend to be reactionary, however, and former CEO and current member of the Supervisory Board Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has made the team’s stance on the captain: they want him to stay (T-online journalist Julian Buhl via X account @iMiaSanMia). “We all agree that we would very much welcome him staying for another year. He has won everything at FC Bayern, shaping an era for over 15 years. His performance remains at a high level,” stated Rummenigge.
For the former CEO, Neuer can still contribute to the team by working aloongside Jonas Urbig and helping with his development. “And the combination we have with him and the young Jonas Urbig is perfect. He can continue to support Urbig in his development. The entire goalkeeping group, including Sven Ulreich and goalkeeping coach Michael Rechner, is a united group. Therefore, it would be great if they all stayed together,” he concluded.
