Is Franck Ribery joining Bayern Munich as a new coach?

The Frenchman has recently completed his FIFA coaching license

Bayern Munich have a tradition of integrating former players into the club’s organisational structure; none is this more evident than in the staff of coaches.

In a variety of capacities, past players like Martín Demicheles, Sando Wagner, and Miroslav Klose have all served as coaches at Bayern, and it appears like Franck Ribéry may soon be joining the current Bundesliga Champions’ coaching staff.

Ribéry has played for Fiorentina and Salernitana in Serie A after departing Bayern in 2019. Is going back to Munich the best course of action?

Ribery ‘open’ to coaching role at Bayern Munich campus

Georg Holzner, a journalist for Kicker, claims (via @iMiaSanMia) that Ribéry would be open to taking on a coaching role at FC Bayern Munich Campus. The Frenchman is now finishing up his coaching licence. There is no reason why Ribéry can’t return because the team is still in good standing with him and has kept in touch with him.It will be intriguing to see where Ribéry’s coaching career takes him, even though he will probably begin with a modest coaching post inside Bayern’s development setup. The senior team at Bayern needs a new head coach, but it would be a terrible idea to appoint a former player with no or little coaching background. Take a look at Frank Lampard’s experience at Chelsea.
