New addition with a clear edge! RTL signs Max Kruse as a new TV expert for the live broadcasts for the 2nd Bundesliga and the European Cup match show “Matchday”. The former international complements the team of experts with Felix Kroos and Patrick Helmes from September.
Frank Robens, RTL sports director: “Max Kruse is a real guy. Exciting, unconventional, authentic. With a clear edge, humor and deep understanding of football, he brings exactly the mix that enriches our reporting. We are very happy to have it in our team in the future.”
Max Kruse: “I still burn for football-from now on also with TV microphone in my hand. For RTL, I change sides for the first time and can accompany the game from a completely new perspective. Whether European Cup or second league: I will bring in my experience, as usual, clearly and clearly comment and thus provide the fans honest insights.”
As an active player, Max Kruse looks back on over 300 Bundesliga games and over 100 competitive goals.
Since his end of his career in 2023, the former international and Olympic participant in 2020 has been committed as a team manager in the ‘Baller League’ and regularly competes in international poker tournaments. He was already seen as a football expert in the ‘double pass’ and on ‘Sky90’.
