After hanging up his boots in October 2022, Frenchman Frank Ribéry told the German newspaper sports image who is preparing to become a soccer coach. The former player currently holds the position of assistant coach at Salernitana.
“I am currently preparing to graduate. Taking up the position of coach will allow me to rediscover this adrenaline and this pressure that accompanies training and games on a daily basis. I can’t live without it. I need this to be happy.”
At the Italian club, the retired striker is part of the technical commission of Paulo Souza, former coach of Flamengo. Very impressed by his successful spell at Bayern, Ribéry also commented on Kingsley Coman, his successor at the German club.
“King is now fully exploiting his potential with great maturity. He suffered a lot of criticism for having missed a penalty in the World Cup final, but he quickly digested this episode, because he is mentally strong ”, he said about his compatriot.
After 12 years in Munich, Ribéry appeared in 425 matches for the Bayern and rocked the nets in 124 opportunities. The Frenchman lived the highlight of his career in the team, when he was elected the third best player in the world by FIFA in 2013.
