Wolfsburg (AP) – national soccer goalkeeper Almuth Schult from VfL Wolfsburg is thinking about ending her career after this season.
“What happens next year – that’s what I’m thinking about for Christmas,” the 30-year-old told the dpa. Your contract with VfL expires after this season. “Do I continue to play in Wolfsburg, do I continue to play elsewhere, maybe I don’t play any more? I can’t comment on that yet. I have received an offer to extend my contract in Wolfsburg. We now have to be clear about what for the family is best. ” In the case of men, professional footballers have “enough financial reserves to deal with their family situation. This is not possible with us.”
Schult became the mother of twins in 2020 and made her comeback in the Bundesliga in April 2021. She also became known that year as a TV expert at the European Championship and as a member of the women’s initiative “Football can do more”, which advocates more gender equality in German football. On television or as a functionary, the 2015 Olympic champion has a number of options for the time after her career.
Wolfsburg hopes from extension
VfL Wolfsburg is hoping that the 2016 Olympic champion will continue her career. “We made Almuth an offer to extend his contract because we are 100 percent convinced of her qualities as one of the world’s best goalkeepers and as a leader,” said sports director Ralf Kellermann. You are “in very trusting and open-ended discussions. Of course I am very happy if she should decide on a future at VfL Wolfsburg. At the same time, it is my responsibility as the sporting director to be prepared for all eventualities and to have a plan B in my pocket. “
