“The decision to bring this to the public is infinitely heavy, but it is an important step for us as a family to provide clarity for our environment and also in public. Together with our daughter (Malia of 9, ed.) We are now trying to find the way in life step by step,” write Ulreich and his wife in a statement.
The 36-year-old German, since 2015 with an interruption of one year at HSV employed by Bayern Munich, thanks his family and also Bayern Munich for the support of the past months. “That means a lot to us.”

Ulreich repeatedly missed matches of Bayern last season because of his son’s disease. He thought of stopping, but the third goalkeeper nevertheless extended his contract until the summer of 2026. Manuel Neuer and Jonas Urbig are first and second goalkeeper at Bayern.
