Defender Dante played for FC Bayern from 2012 to 2015, winning numerous titles with the record champions. He could now make an exciting return in the summer of 2026
Dante came to FC Bayern from Borussia Mönchengladbach as a bargain deal at the time, costing less than five million euros. The move was definitely a great success, as the Brazilian hit the ground running and became a crowd favourite
Dante won the Champions League with Bayern, among other titles, before moving on to Nice via Wolfsburg in 2015, where he is still playing in the first team at the age of 42. His contract ends in the summer, which is also the end of his career
Dante about to return to Munich?
According to Philipp Kessler and Mano Bonke, there’s a big deal in the offing when the Brazilian ends his career! The treble hero could return to the record champions, and there are serious considerations in this regard. And it’s specifically about a coaching job
That’s not surprising. „My goal is to become a coach. I’m really keen on that,“ the defender told FCB club magazine 51 at the end of 2024. „I want to pass on my experience and make every single player better, as a footballer and as a person.“ Returning to FC Bayern as a coach at some point is his big dream, according to Dante
And it is precisely this dream that could now come true. Dante has already worked under exciting coaches and has also completed his training as a coach. At FC Bayern, he could take over the job as head coach of the amateurs from the summer, according to reports. Holger Seitz will be replaced here and is expected to take on another job within the Bayern cosmos
Nothing has been signed yet and no advanced negotiations have taken place, but the topic is definitely being discussed at Säbener Straße.
