What next for Robben & Ribery? Pair tipped for backroom jobs at Bayern

Bayern Munich legends Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery have been encouraged by their team-mate Niklas Sule to work for the club in non-playing roles once their careers at the club expire.

Robben, 35, is set to leave the Allianz Arena this summer after ten years with the reigning Bundesliga champions.

The winger hasn’t played for the club since the end of November when he scored twice in a 5-1 victory over Benfica in the Champions League group stages. Muscle injuries, the most recent a torn calf, and dental issues have sidelined him since then.
