Jerome Boateng Cancels Training Tasks At Bayern Munich After Getting Criticism

Jerome Boateng canceled his coaching studies with Bayern Munich (Instagram/@fcbayern).

Bayern Munich stated that their former defender and Germany's National Team (Timnas), Jerome Boateng, would not visit the club to develop his coaching career following protests from supporters regarding his sentence last year on charges of causing physical injuries to his former colleagues.

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany, a former Boateng teammate while playing, indicated last month that he would welcome him to spend time with the club as part of his plans to start a coaching career.

However, Bayern Munich supporters have unfurled banners against Boateng's presence at the club.

The former defender was sentenced to suspended fines and warnings by the Munich Court that sentenced him last year on charges of causing physical injuries to his former partner. Boateng always denies wrongdoing.

"In a constructive discussion between FC Bayern and Jerome Boateng this week, it was decided that Jerome Boateng would not visit FC Bayern to observe training."

"Jerome feels very connected to FC Bayern and does not want FC Bayern to be harmed due to ongoing controversial discussions surrounding him," Bayern Munich said in a statement on Saturday, October 25, 2025, evening local time.

Boateng also wrote in a statement on Instagram addressed to Bayern Munich and Kompany on the same day that he had decided to pursue another interest after a recent discussion about himself.

He said he wanted the club to focus on its performance on the pitch.

Boateng, who won the Champions League with Bayern Munich twice and the World Cup with Germany in 2014, announced his resignation as a player last month.

In August 2025, his contract with Austrian club LASK Linz ended through a mutual agreement despite one more season remaining.
