After twenty years of a long and fruitful career as a professional footballer, Franck Ribéry hung up the crampons. It was on October 22, 2022, when he was playing on the side of Salernitana. Two years later, “Kaiser Franck” is preparing to reform his flagship duo with Arjen Robben, when the two men made the heyday of Bayern Munich.

It was the Bavarian club which itself announced the news on Monday on its social networks. And if the two veterans will regain service, it will be for a very specific event. From the French “Kaiser” to another, there is only one step since it is in honor of Franz Beckenbauer that the former of the French team and Arjen Robben will take the tunic once again Munichoise.

The return of “Robbéry”

Scheduled for March 17, the Franz-Beckenbauer trophy organized to pay tribute to the legend of German football and former Bayern disappeared in January 2024, will be the opportunity to see show and old glories. Since he retired, Franck Ribéry has been working to become a coach. He also obtained his UEFA level diploma in Italy last September, enough to allow him to direct the teams evolving until the Italian third division.

As for Arjen Robben, he has taken an identical path to his former partner by becoming an amateur coach. The reunion of “Robbéry” should drain many nostalgic spectators from a glorious era of Bayern. The match will take place at SAP Garden in Munich.
