While he was studying at Salernitana, where he began his career path, Franck Ribéry dreamed of returning to Bayern Munich.

Retired from the field for eighteen months, Franck Ribéry has not left the world of football. At the age of 40, the former French international has in fact started his reconversion at Salernitana, where he ended his career after a little over a year spent in Campania.

According to Kicker, the native of Boulogne-sur-Mer, retained in the technical staff of the red lantern of Serie A after the end of his career, is in fact completing his coaching diplomas and already has a clear objective in head: return to Bayern Munich, where he became a true club legend after twelve years spent in Bavaria between 2007 and 2019.

His son plays in the U13

There is no question of the former Marseillais succeeding Thomas Tuchel on the bench of the German champions. Since the announcement of the departure of the former Parisian coach, Munich leaders have been working to find a new coach and several names have already been mentioned among the most coveted technicians of the moment. The priority of the Bavarian leaders would be Xabi Alonso but Roberto de Zerbi, Jürgen Klopp and Zinedine Zidane were also mentioned.

But once his coaching license has been validated, Franck Ribéry would like to return to the Bayern Munich training center to coach a youth team. He could find his son Seïf there, who plays with the U13s, and above all return to his family, who remained in Bavaria when the Northerner left for Fiorentina.
