Carlo Ancelotti's assistant coach has paid a glowing tribute to the Bavarian defender, who will bid farewell to his playing days on Saturday
Bayern Munich assistant coach Hermann Gerland has paid tribute to Philipp Lahm ahead of the defender's final game, arguing that being wanted by Manchester United shows how good he was.
Lahm is set to bring the curtain down on his glittering career on Saturday when Bayern host Freiburg in the last game of the Bundesliga season and a host of team-mates and coaches have been paying tribute to the long-serving club captain.
Gerland first encountered Lahm during his time as manager of the Bayern reserve team and he played a role in helping the full-back move on loan to Stuttgart early in his career.
