Schweinsteiger backed for Bayern director's role by Robben

The midfielder returned to the Allianz Arena for his testimonial match on Tuesday and an old team-mate feels the German has more to offer

Arjen Robben feels former team-mate Bastian Schweinsteiger would be an excellent Bayern Munich director should he want a future role at his old club.

Schweinsteiger returned to Bavaria for his testimonial on Tuesday when his current team the Chicago Fire faced Bayern in a contest that the German side won 4-0.

At 34, Schweinsteiger is coming to the end of a decorated career and Robben believes he could still offer a lot to Bayern after retiring.
