Hainer: Müller can definitely take over from me and become Bayern chairman

Hupu November 10 News In recent decades, few players have had such a profound impact on Bayern Munich like Thomas Muller. It is almost certain that the 36-year-old will one day return to his beloved club in a new capacity. Even the position of club president may not be difficult for Muller to fulfill.

Herbert Hainer, who was recently re-elected and confirmed as Bayern Munich club president, can fully imagine the 2014 World Cup champion taking on a leadership role at Bayern. "He can do practical work for us, he can be an ambassador, and of course he can be my successor or the successor to any president after me," Heiner said in an interview with the Munich Affair newspaper.

"He knows the club inside and out. He is smart and intelligent, and he now has overseas experience. So he has many advantages and is very suitable for this job," Heiner added approvingly.

Since the summer, Muller has been playing for the Vancouver Whitecaps of Major League Soccer in North America. Hainer believes that playing abroad will help him grow in many aspects: "Overseas experience will make Muller more mature, more international-minded, and more experienced. I hope he can return to Bayern Munich in some capacity in the future."

Supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge also recently raised the possibility of the 36-year-old coach's return. However, Mueller himself said this was not currently under consideration. "This is all just speculation," he explained on Bayerischer Rundfunk.
