The 32-year-old claimed the award for the first time by scoring a record-breaking 41 goals in the Bundesliga. Gerd Muller’s long-standing record of 40 goals was set back in 1971-72, and looked set to remain unmatched until the final day of the season. 

The 65-year-old was supposed to be replaced by former Bayern goalkeeper, Oliver Kahn, at the end of the year, but the Bild paper and the Kicker magazine said it was felt now was a better time to hand over to Kahn, who has been a member of the club’s board since January 2020.
