Franck Ribery will end a 12-year stint as a player with Bayern Munich when his contract expires with the Bundesliga champions on June 30, though the former France international has said that he hopes to one day return to the Allianz Arena in a different capacity.
Ribery has not yet hung up his boots, indicating that he will go on playing for the time being, but at 36 he is already looking to his career once his days on the field are over.
Having enjoyed a period of unparalleled success in Bavaria, where he won nine Bundesliga titles and also lifted the Champions League, he believes that one day he can help the team in a sporting coordinator role.
