Her work apparently has gained the attention of directives across the league, with the Hanseaten reportedly in talks with Krüger and a decision on her future is expected to be announced soon.

Kathleen Krüger has been working with the Bayern Munich since 2012 when she became the team manager, taking care of the team’s logistics — travel, acommodations, training camps, and daily organization of the senior team. From that time on, she has gained a strong reputation due to her management skills behind the scenes during one of Bayern’s most successful periods. With that in mind, the club’s board appointed her Head of Organization and Infrastructure in 2024.

Although the offer of becoming a sporting director might be entincing for Krüger, Bayern Munich will hope to continue counting with her skills in the club’s organization.
