[Saba Sports News] Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness recently discussed former Bayern star Thomas Muller, who moved to MLS this season, in a media interview. He expressed strong anticipation for Muller’s return to the club in an executive role after retirement. Hoeness stated that Muller possesses all the necessary prerequisites for a high-level position at Bayern, being not only intelligent and wise but also immensely popular. He also believes that, in the medium to long term, the club’s leadership should consist of individuals with professional playing backgrounds. The 36-year-old Muller, as Bayern’s all-time appearance record holder, has been rooted at the club since his youth academy days. He is familiar with the club’s operational model and has deep affection for the team, perfectly meeting this requirement. The editor believes that although the 36-year-old Muller is still performing at a high level in MLS, his playing career is nearing its end. An executive role at Bayern offers a quality post-retirement path, allowing him to transition from the pitch to behind the scenes, continuing to work within the Bayern system he knows and loves.
