As the media explains Tagesspiegel, Jérôme Boateng, 363 matches played in the Bavarian jersey in ten seasons, could make his comeback with Bayern Munich. Not as a player, since he retired on September 19, but rather as a trainee.

The central defender is in fact preparing for a coaching career, and would like to complete an internship under Vincent Kompany, former teammate at Manchester City in 2010/2011 and current coach of the Munich team. A test even took place in 2023.

A petition is circulating

Problem, some supporters are opposed to the arrival of the former player, sentenced in 2022 to 1.2 million euros in damages following a trial for domestic violence against his ex-partner, then simply warned in July 2024 during his appeal trial. A petition, named “Setting limits on misogynistic violence: Jérôme Boateng should not be allowed to return to Bayern Munich. »has collected more than 3,000 signatures so far.
