Germany sporting director Rudi Völler has named Thomas Müller as a potential future successor for his role at the German Football Association (DFB). Speaking on the "Kerners 11" podcast, the 66-year-old stated that he is "absolutely convinced" Müller would be capable of taking on the position or another role within the organization when his own tenure ends.
Völler's contract with the DFB currently runs until 2028. Meanwhile, 37-year-old Müller has been playing in Major League Soccer for Vancouver Whitecaps since leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the 2024/25 season, with his playing contract set to expire in the summer of 2027.
