Raimond Aumann: “So far I’ve had two great stages in my time at FC Bayern: first 14 years as a goalkeeper, then 27 years as the person responsible for looking after our fans. Now it is my wish to start a new chapter here. My time as a player was great, my time as director of fan club support was incredibly exciting. And now I’m really looking forward to my new role. I will continue to be close to our fans and I want to convey to people what is important at our club.”
FC Bayern deputy CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen: “FC Bayern is the football club with the most fan clubs and fan club members in the world. Raimond Aumann has done a great job here, building and expanding this area for 27 years. FC Bayern would like to thank him for that. Now Raimond has decided to take on a new role at the club and I am sure he will serve Bayern Munich well as a Legend.”
FC Bayern marketing director Andreas Jung: “Raimond Aumann made history with FC Bayern as number 1 and captain – and even after the end of his playing career, he made an extraordinary difference to the club. He stands for identity, he has always been a legend – we are very happy he will now drive forward the development of the FC Bayern Legends.“
Aumann came to Munich from FC Augsburg in 1980 and kept goal for the first team in a total of 268 competitive games between 1982 and 1994. He celebrated six Bundesliga titles as well as two DFB Cup and DFB Supercup wins. At the end of his sporting career he played for readition-rich Turkish club Besiktas, where he also won a league title.
