"Sven Ulreich has been Bayern Munich's reliable deputy in the event that Manuel Neuer is unavailable. However, a personal tragedy has deeply affected Ulreich and there are rumors that he may retire at the end of the season upon the expiration of his contract. Both parties said that nothing is set in stone just yet."
""No, no decision has been made yet. It's also possible that I'll continue. I haven't given it any serious thought yet. We'll decide that together next year. I'm taking it week by week," Ulreich said (via ransport as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia)."
"Sporting director Max Eberl also weighed in on the topic: "First we'll make the big decisions, like with Upa, and then the others. Spring is quite possible, like with Manuel Neuer." Before Ulreich, there was Tom Starke who himself deputized for Ulreich in the 2017/18 season. Starke is now a goalkeeping coach at the club so it is possible that Ulreich will follow him there. No one really has a clue about what the player wants, so we'll just have to follow along and see what happens next."
Sven Ulreich serves as Bayern Munich's reliable deputy when Manuel Neuer is unavailable. A recent personal tragedy has deeply affected Ulreich and there are rumors he may retire when his contract expires at season's end. Ulreich stated that no decision has been made, that continuing is possible, and that he is taking matters week by week with a joint decision to be made next year. Sporting director Max Eberl said the club will make major decisions first and then others, comparing possible timing to Neuer's situation. Former deputy Tom Starke now works as a goalkeeping coach, suggesting a potential coaching path for Ulreich, while the player's intentions remain unclear.
