Big bang! Manuel Neuer ends DFB career
Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has announced in a video on social media that he is ending his career with the German national soccer team. This marks the end of an era and the start of the search for a successor.
"I loved wearing the national team jersey," Neuer clarifies. However, in a video that the 38-year-old published on social media on Wednesday, Neuer explains that he will no longer be keeping goal for the DFB team.
"The day had to come at some point. Anyone who knows me knows that this decision was not easy for me," said Neuer somewhat wistfully. The Bayern goalkeeper surprised even most experts with his announcement. It was recently assumed that the 38-year-old would like to tackle the 2026 World Cup as his last major challenge.
In his farewell video, the goalkeeper finally gets emotional. He recalls his first appearance in the national team against the United Arab Emirates and how excited he was, and finally the great World Cup triumph in Brazil in 2014.
The home European Championship this year was the final crowning glory.
