Thomas Müller has announced that he will complete his last season with Bayern Munich, as the club has decided against extending his contract. With at least nine more matches remaining in various championships, the renowned forward is set to close a prominent chapter of his career after 17 years filled with numerous accolades, including a World Cup title. Former Bayern president Uli Hoeneß discussed the emotional implications of such departures, recognizing how club legends often struggle to accept their diminishing roles, hinting that the decision lacked clarity from the club's side.
"It would have been better if he had made the decision and not FC Bayern. I've seen many, many great players retire... There were problems with all of them in the end because they simply didn't want to accept that they were no longer as good as they would have liked to be."
"During a recent appearance speaking on Blickpunt Sport, former Bayern president Uli Hoeneß reflected on the club's decision to not offer Müller a contract extension... It had slowly become clear that Müller’s minutes were starting to be managed, and the writing was on the wall for his contract to not be renewed."
