Thomas Müller open to becoming a coach
Last summer, Thomas Müller left Bayern Munich to join the Vancouver Whitecaps in MLS on a contract running until the end of 2026.
Turning 37 this year, Müller has started thinking about life after football – and a coaching career is a possibility.

When Kicker asked him if he saw himself becoming a coach, Müller replied “yes”.
“I don’t know what training route I will follow when I finally hang up the crampons. It will also depend on how I feel after a certain time and distance,” he added.
When the time is right, Müller wants to think about a few key questions himself.
“Do I want to continue to be part of this world of football that has given me so much emotion? If so, do I want to be on the pitch? That comes with little professional stability, unless I become a youth coach.”
The veteran, however, is in no rush to decide what happens after his playing career.

“I haven’t found a direction for myself yet and I’m not trying to at the moment. I don’t think things have to move quickly if I stay in football, so I don’t need to start preparing immediately. I can afford to take my time and see,” he said.
Regarding the possibility of returning to Bayern in a different role, Müller said he wants to keep as many doors open as possible.
“I’m not one to rule out things, and right now I love being a player.”
