A few years ago, Daniel Baier was actively playing in the Bundesliga, serving as the captain of FC Augsburg.
Now, just five years after retiring, the 41-year-old may soon take the field in the Kreisliga.
According to ‘kicker’, the former professional, who has over 300 top-flight matches to his name, is registered to play with SpVgg Niedernberg.
Currently, Baier holds an executive position at RB Leipzig, yet it seems he still has a passion for the game. The reason for his return is familial, as Niedernberg is coached by his father.
Though he doesn’t intend to make a permanent comeback, Baier aims to lend a hand to the team on occasion. We think this is fantastic!
