Soccer - Bianca Rech new director at Bayern women's soccer team
Bianca Rech will be the new Director of the previously female football department of FC Bayern Munchen. The Munich club announced this on Friday as part of the restructuring of the female football department into a Directorate.
"With the restructuring of the women's department into a Directorate, we want to give women's football at FC Bayern the importance it deserves," said Sporting Director Max Eberl.
Ex-Bayern player Rech had become the department head at the Munich women's team a year ago. The next step followed. "The new structure means a great appreciation: It increases our visibility and is another decisive major step in the professionalization of women's football at FC Bayern," said the 43-year-old.
Under Rech's leadership, the Bayern footballers secured the German championship in the previous season. Already in 2016, the previous team manager of 1. FC Cologne returned to Munich, where she first worked under her predecessor Karin Danner in the team management.
