"I don't yet get the feeling that Manuel is interested,"
"If he is interested, we would certainly look into it with him. The same applies to [Müller]. I've already offered Thomas the opportunity to receive proper training to become a [front office] official. It's impossible to end your professional career and the next day negotiate contracts worth 100 million euros and manage hundreds of employees. The idea was for him to do internships at large corporations and major clubs in Europe and the USA. He was open to the idea in principle, but not right now."
Bayern Munich commonly elevates former players into club leadership roles, and preparation for such transitions is being encouraged. Manuel Neuer currently shows no clear interest in moving into a front-office position, though future interest would be explored. Thomas Müller has been offered formal training and internships at major corporations and top clubs in Europe and the USA to prepare for an executive role, but he is not ready to pursue that path now. Müller is focused on winning silverware with the Vancouver Whitecaps after a strong inaugural season. Transitioning immediately from playing to negotiating large contracts and managing hundreds of employees requires deliberate preparation.
