Thomas Müller Says Vancouver Role Is More Rewarding Than Late Bayern Cameos

In a new interview, the 36-year-old describes how taking on responsibility in Vancouver has given him more emotionally than a reduced role in Munich.

Overview

  • In remarks to Süddeutsche Zeitung, Müller says captaining Vancouver and carrying on-field responsibility has meant more to him than being an occasional substitute at Bayern.
  • He left Bayern after 25 years when his contract was not renewed and joined the Vancouver Whitecaps in August 2025.
  • He led the Whitecaps to the MLS final as captain, where they lost 3–1 to Inter Miami.
  • He recounted sharing a laugh with Max Eberl and Jan-Christian Dreesen during BayernMainz after discussing Lennart Karl, and he praised Karl’s finishing quality.
  • He said he turned down European options such as Fiorentina and has no fixed post-playing plan, though studies in sports management or a coaching license are possibilities.
