Rudi Völler wanted to give his career another go when he joined the DFB as sporting director in 2023. But even for the 1990 World Cup winner, there comes a time to let go: “After the summer of 2028, it really is over,” Völler explained in an interview with ‘Stern’.

It was only in April of this year that the former striker extended his contract until the European Championship in 2028. But after the tournament in Great Britain and Ireland, it really will be the end. But can he really stop then? “I had a long career, I can let go,” Völler also emphasized to Stern. Well then, we wish Rudi all the best and hope for an extremely successful remaining time.
