MUNICH \u2014 Manuel Neuer has extended his contract at Bayern Munich for another year, keeping the 40-year-old goalkeeping great at the German champion as he mentors his long-term successor.<\/p>

Neuer will head into another season at Bayern, 15 years since joining the club, and remains the captain and first-choice goalkeeper after impressive performances in the Champions League<\/a> despite fitness issues this season.<\/p>\n

Neuer has played 597 times for Bayern and is set to become the fifth player in club history to hit the 600 mark.<\/p>\n

Backup Jonas Urbig is considered Neuer\u2019s long-term successor and has increasingly been given games this season. Neuer\u2019s role includes mentoring Urbig.<\/p>\n

The announcement came on Friday ahead of Bayern\u2019s last Bundesliga<\/a> game of the season on Saturday at home to Cologne.<\/p>

Neuer\u2019s long-time understudy Sven Ulreich has also signed on for another year.<\/p>\n

\u201cManuel and Sven will continue to support Jonas on his path to becoming the future of FC Bayern,\u201d Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Neuer won his 13th German league title with Bayern a month ago and could make it a domestic double for the first time since 2020 if Bayern beats Stuttgart in the German Cup final on May 23.<\/p>\n

Neuer has been focused on Bayern since retiring from the German national team<\/a> after Euro 2024. Oliver Baumann of Hoffenheim is likely to be Germany\u2019s starter at the World Cup<\/a> next month.<\/p>
