Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl is a firm believer that Jonas Urbig is the right guy to take over for Manuel Neuer, when the erstwhile goalkeeper decides to end his tenure in Bavaria (whenever
that might be).
“With Jonas, we have someone with whom we are prepared for that day – whenever it may come. We are certain that he is a candidate who can fill Manuel’s shoes,” Eberl told Sport Bild’s Henning Feindt, Christian Falk, and Tobi Altschäffl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Urbig has been extremely strong during his appearance in deputizing for Neuer. With great athleticism and instincts, Urbig seems like the ideal candidate to eventually take the reins from Neuer, when the G.O.A.T. decides to hang up his cleats.
