FC Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel (50) officially confirmed goalkeeper Manuel Neuer’s (37) baby news in a press conference. When asked by a reporter whether Manuel Neuer had become a dad, the 50-year-old mischievously replied with a resounding “yes” and immediately announced that Neuer would be on the pitch in goal at Saturday’s away game in Darmstadt.
Tuchel answered the question of whether the new dad would be given a break now: “He’s already had a two-day break. That’ll have to be enough. He’s coming back today, he’ll be in goal tomorrow. It’s clear: he’s inspired as a dad. “
According to Tuchel, not only Manuel Neuer is doing very well, mother and child are also doing well. “I heard that the mom is doing well and the child is doing well. So the dad is doing really well. And Manu is coming later. He wants to come along and play,” said the coach.
The magazine “Bunte” first reported on Thursday evening (March 14) that the FC Bayern goalkeeper had become a father for the first time. Accordingly, his wife Anika (23) gave birth to a son. The couple rarely appear together in public and reveal little about their private life.
