BAYERN – Bayern Munich is parting ways with technical director Marco Neppe after 10 years by mutual consent, the Bundesliga champions said on Friday.
Neppe, 37, arrived in 2014 from Bayer Leverkusen, starting as a Munich scout. He held the technical director position since 2021 but Bayern have changed their structures, with Christoph Freund named sporting director and Max Eberl board member for sport.
Bayern won nine Bundesliga titles during Neppe’s time at the club, six German Super Cups and three German Cups. In 2020 they celebrated a sixtuple, also winning the Champions League, European Super Cup and Club World Cup.
“I would like to thank Marco Neppe for this long cooperation. We celebrated many successes during this period, and under Marco Neppe we discovered outstanding talents such as Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala, who have matured into world-class players in Munich,” Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said.
“He was an important factor in squad planning and, not least because of his excellent network, also in the completion of many transfers. We wish Marco Neppe all the best for the future.”
Neppe said: “I would like to thank FC Bayern for the trust, support and, above all, the opportunity I was given here. It was a challenging, exciting and successful time, with the 2020 treble as the highlight.
“I wish FC Bayern and its wonderful fans maximum success for the future. FC Bayern will remain part of my history and I am proud of that.”
