Overview

• Alexander Straus has requested an early termination of his contract, set to run until June 2026, and will depart FC Bayern München Frauen at the end of the season.
• Under Straus’s leadership since 2022, Bayern’s women’s team won three consecutive Bundesliga titles and now has the chance to secure the club’s first-ever domestic double.
