Hainer Says Thomas Müller Could Become Bayern President

Public endorsements highlight his stature; he remains focused on his MLS stint.

Overview

  • Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer said he can imagine Thomas Müller serving as an operative, ambassador, or even succeeding him as club president.
  • Hainer cited Müller’s deep knowledge of the club and recent overseas experience as reasons that recommend him for a leadership role.
  • Supervisory-board member Karl‑Heinz Rummenigge has also advocated for the 36‑year‑old’s eventual return to the club.
  • Müller recently called talk of a return “future music,” saying he has not decided between a coaching path and an executive role.
  • After Bayern declined to renew his contract last season, Müller joined the Vancouver Whitecaps in MLS, where he is currently in the playoffs, and he remains the club’s record appearance holder with numerous titles.
