Former Bayern Munich captain Stefan Effenberg is returning to the club after 20 years to become an ambassador and join the FC Bayern Legends team.
“As a leader on the pitch, he led our club to historic successes, which earned him a special place within our fans’ hearts and makes him an ideal representative of FC Bayern,” board member for marketing Andreas Jung was quoted in a statement on Friday.
With Bayern Munich, Effenberg won three Bundesliga titles, one German Cup and helped the club clinch the UEFA Champions League in 2001.
“It’s a great feeling to return to FC Bayern as an Ambassador. FC Bayern is always described as a family —- and that’s exactly how it feels, even today,” Effenberg said.
The FC Bayern Legends team was founded in the summer of 2006 and consists of former club professionals aiming to make the Bayern Munich brand better known in Germany and mostly abroad.(dpa/NAN)
