The
33-year-old who played 113 games for Germany national team confirmed
the news after making his 501st club appearance in Bayern‘s German Cup
win over Wolfsburg on February, 7, 2017.
Lahm who is known for his
excellent run at the right back was said to have been offered a role
upstairs at the Allianz Arena but has knocked it back due to a change in
hierarchy at club.
“I told the
officials that I will stop playing football at the end of the season. I
think this is the right point in time to leave.
“I have decided that it is not the right moment yet to take the job as sporting director.” Lahm explained.
He has won the the Champions League in 2013, seven Bundesliga titles, six German Cups and the Club World Cup as a one-club man.
