Müller: Twice I almost left Bayern when Klinsmann and Kovac were not reused

During a guest appearance on Kickbase's podcast, German striker Müller spoke of two attempts to leave the squad during his Bayern career, two times when he was not valued under coaching coach Klinsmann and Kovac.

The 08/09 season was the first time Müller was almost leaving Bayern, saying: "Klinsmann couldn't use me at that time and I was close to a transfer. Hoffenheim wanted me and they played a crazy first half of the season, drawing equals with Bayern when it came into the winter break. ”

Müller was basically playing in Bayern's second team at the time, and eventually financial factors hindered his transfer. Mueller: "But in the end it's a question of transfer fees — probably hundreds of thousands. In the end it was Gölland who worked very hard to keep me – for the club and for himself – because he wanted to keep me in the second team. ”

During the 19/20 season in charge of Kovac, Müller did not make the starting list for seven consecutive games, so he considered a transfer in the winter window of that year to seek a new challenge. But he didn't blame Kovac: "I've never had a conflict with the coach, and the coach can make decisions according to his own ideas." ”

Mueller explained that he just didn't want to be a substitute all the time, saying: "So I was obviously fidgeting. "But it's clear that after Kovac left in 2019, Müller once again had more opportunities to play at Bayern.
