DBasia.news – The annual meeting of Bayern Munich members as well as the moment of separation from Uli Hoeness last weekend has caused a surprise. As Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery appeared in the middle of the meeting while carrying the DFB Pokal and Bundesliga 1 trophy.
On that occasion, the former Dutch national team player had received a surprise. He expected CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge to return to Bayern Munich someday. Of course not as a player, but a coach.
“Maybe you will come back to Bayern later as a coach when you have more experience,” Rummenigge said on the occasion, as quoted by Sport1.
The hope is not without reason. Currently, Arjen Robben is quietly pursuing his activities as the coach of the TSV Grunwald U-8 team. Different from Franck Ribery, who continued to play actively against Fiorentina, he chose to stay away from the frenzy of professional football after being released by Die Roten at the end of last season.
“I love children. We train twice a week and undergo matches on weekends, “said Arjen Robben as told Bild am Sonntag. In the team he fostered there was also his son, Kai.
It was a manifestation of the desire that was expressed to Sky Sports last August. At that time, he stated, “Right now, I don’t want to go back and be a coach at the top level. I want to stay away from football for a bit. I will train my son. He is now seven years old and I just want to have fun with the kids. “
Based on information on the Grunwald TSV website, Arjen Robben is not
the only trainer at the F-Youth level. In addition to the former Chelsea and
Real Madrid player, there are three other coaches. They are Leon Stenberg,
Stefan Enax, and Martin Minks.
