Kathleen Krüger (born May 17, 1985 ) is a German soccer player and team manager of the men's professional soccer team of FC Bayern Munich .
Player career
Krüger began in the youth department of FC Phönix Schleißheim, just north of Munich, with club football and later moved to FFC Wacker Munich . She also practiced karate and was even called up in national competitions. However, due to lack of time, she later gave up karate and concentrated on football. At the age of 18, she switched to the second team at FC Bayern Munich in 2003 . After only one season in the Regionalliga Süd, she moved up to the first team for the 2004/05 season . She made her Bundesliga debut on October 24, 2004 in a 4-0 win in the away game against VfL Wolfsburg after replacing Felicia Notbom in the 87th minute. After eleven league games in which she remained without scoring, she ended her debut season in the senior division. In the following season , in which she played 14 games, she scored her only Bundesliga goal on May 7, 2006 in a 6-0 home win against FSV Frankfurt with the goal to make it 5-0 in the 48th minute. In the 2006/07 season she played six point games; in the following two seasons she was used in only one point game, most recently on November 2, 2008 in a 5-0 win in the away game against Herford SV after being substituted for Mandy Islacker in the 79th minute.
In the autumn of 2017, the now 32-year-old played a few games for the fifth-tier national division SC Amicitia Munich.
Team manager
After her active career, she began studying international management and was also involved in the organization of the women's soccer team at FC Bayern Munich. When she was offered the job of assistant to the sports director Christian Nerlinger , she dropped out after just one semester. She continued her work under the new sports director Matthias Sammer and was appointed team manager, bringing her position closer to the team from a pure office job. She is responsible for all organizational matters relating to the team.
