'There Are No Young And Old Players' - Rohr Urges Bayern Munich To Offer New Deal To Ribéry

Published: December 28, 2018

Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr has urged Bayern Munich to award a new contract to veteran winger Franck Ribéry.

The president of Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeness suggested earlier this month that the former France international will hang up his boots at the end of the season.

But Rohr thinks that Ribéry is still going strong as demonstrated with his four goals in his last three league games before the Bundesliga went on recess.

''For me there are no young and old players, only good and bad. And Ribéry is a good one,'' said Rohr to German newspaper Mannheimer Morgen.

Ribéry, who will be 36 on April 7, penned a contract extension with the German champions in May and the agreement runs out at the end of this season.

Rohr has backed Bayern Munich to win the league though they trail Borussia Dortmund by six points at the halfway stage of the season.
