Bayern's sporting director names team's future captain after Neuer and Müller

Bayern Munich's current leaders, Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller, are nearing the twilight of their careers, potentially prompting thoughts of retirement. This raises the question of who will take over the captain's armband. However, Bayern's sporting director, Max Eberl, already has an answer.

Details: According to Eberl, Joshua Kimmich has all the qualities of a natural leader and is destined to become the team's next captain. However, Kimmich still needs to extend his contract with the club, which expires in the summer of 2025.

Quote: "When Manuel and Thomas end their careers, he (Joshua) should become the face of Bayern. Negotiations are very open and positive. Kimmich knows we need him. He has to decide whether he wants new adventures or to become a Bayern legend," Eberl said, as quoted by Florian Plettenberg.
