“I can hardly wait to begin my time in charge at Bayern and I’m looking forward to the start of training. As part of a club has big as Bayern it must always be the aim to win every competition we compete in,” Straus said.

“We have a team with very, very good players and I have a lot of respect for the work of the previous coach, Jens Scheuer, and his staff. I won’t be turning everything on its head, but try to develop the team further, step by step.

Straus succeeds Scheuer, who led Bayern to the Frauen-Bundesliga title in 2021.
