After three successful years, coach Alexander Straus surprisingly leaves FC Bayern women at the end of the season. The association fulfilled its desire for an early termination of the contract in order to face new challenges.
Farewell to a three -year success story: Alexander Straus will settle his office as head coach of FC Bayern at the end of the season at the end of the season to devote themselves to a new challenge. The association announced this in a message on Thursday.
FC Bayern complied with the concerns of the Norwegian, who has held the coaching position with the Munich women since summer 2022, and agreed to an early termination of the contract on May 31, 2025. His contract would have run until 2026.
Successful three years under Straus
Straus moved from SK Brann Bergen to Munich on July 1, 2022 and successfully continued the process of establishing FC Bayern women nationally at the top in German women’s football. In 2023 and 2024 the club celebrated the German championship, in 2024 the DFB supercup, which had been held for the first time since 1997. The 49-year-old reached the Champions League quarter-finals (2023, 2025) twice, and two times were also in the DFB Cup final (2024, 2025).
Straused was “Unscripted Blatt “and became a successful coach
“We are very grateful for Alexander Straus for the time together,” said Bianca Rech, director of women’s football in the club: “Alex was a blank sheet when he came to us in the summer of 2022, and together we wrote a unique success story.” The FCB plans to inform about the successor “in due course”.
FC Bayern Women can win Double for the first time
This season, the Munich women can achieve the first double in club history: Before the last three match days, FCB leads the table with eight points ahead of VfL Wolfsburg – it would be the third championship title in a row. In the DFB Cup, the team from Straus Werder Bremen welcomes the final on May 1st.
Straus “will say goodbye to the big goal”
Max Eberl praised the outstanding coach: “FC Bayern women have been developing continuously at the highest level for many years – and Alexander Straus has made an invaluable share. He will say goodbye to Munich in Munich,” said the sports director.
