"After Bayern Munich fans practically hounded Jerome Boateng from the club, it seems the disgraced ex-Germany international has found a welcoming home in FC Barcelona. The player was seen training with the Catalans (via Sport) under coach Hansi Flick, whom Boateng knows from his time as head coach of FC Bayern. For now, it seems that the 37-year-old will simply use the facilities at Barcelona to stay in shape."
"Translations as per @iMiaSanMia capture the extent of fan anger: 'Whoever gives the perpetrator space bears his guilt - Boateng, pi*s off!' 'No place for character pigs in our club. No more place for Boateng' 'No stage/platform for perpetrators. Pi*s off Boateng!' Eventually, Bayern Munich were forced to back down and Jerome Boateng declined to pursue the internship further."
Jerome Boateng has been training at FC Barcelona facilities under coach Hansi Flick while using the club's resources to stay in shape. Bayern Munich fans reacted angrily to a proposed coaching internship from Vincent Kompany, posting messages that rejected Boateng and pressured the club to withdraw the offer. Bayern ultimately backed down and Boateng declined to pursue the internship. Boateng previously worked with Hansi Flick at Bayern and with the German national team. There is no official partnership between Boateng and Barcelona, and questions remain whether Spanish clubs or supporters would react similarly to his controversial past.
