Jonas Urbig’s Impact Recognized by Former Coach as He Debuts for Bayern Munich

Jonas Urbig's unexpected debut for Bayern Munich has garnered praise from his former coach at FC Köln, who sees him as a key player for the team.

Jonas Urbig’s surprise debut for Bayern Munich has been positively noted by his former club, 1. FC Köln. FC coach Gerhard Struber expressed his happiness for Urbig, stating, „Of course, I noticed that. And I was happy for him.“ He added, „He can be a goalkeeper for Bayern who can be a crucial factor.“

The 21-year-old goalkeeper talent transferred to Bayern Munich in the winter after losing his starting position to Marvin Schwäbe at Köln earlier in the season. On Wednesday, Urbig came on as a substitute for the injured Manuel Neuer during Bayern’s 3-0 victory against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League round of 16 first leg.

Struber emphasized Urbig’s abilities, saying, „We have known for a long time that Jonas Urbig understands his craft. He will continue to gain the trust at Bayern to develop as a personality.“
