Confirmed departure: Bayern Munich’s U-19 head coach Peter Gaydarov will leave at end of season

After five years at the FC Bayern Campus, U19 coach Peter Gaydarov will leave the club to pursue a new challenge in professional football. The 34-year-old coach has held various positions within the youth academy – as head coach of the U16s, assistant coach of the U19s, and head coach of the U17s. For the past two seasons, he has been in charge of the U19s, guiding numerous talented players on their path to professional football. Bayern’s director of Youth Development, Jochen Sauer, had this to say. “Peter has enriched our youth development work with great commitment and high professional quality. At FC Bayern, we not only develop players, but also coaches – Peter’s path is a good example of this.” Gaydarov himself had some words to say not just about his time at Bayern but also about the ongoing season, which had yet to end: “My time at the FC Bayern Campus was an exceptionally wonderful and formative period for me, both professionally and personally. I am grateful for the trust and cooperation of all those in charge, my colleagues, and the players with whom I was able to continuously develop over the past five years. It’s all the more gratifying that we have qualified for the final round. Now we want to reward ourselves together for the hard work of the past months and finish the season even more successfully.” Bayern’s U-19s travel to FC Köln on the weekend to fight in the single match knockout round to make it to the quarterfinals. The announcement will hopefully bring the team together to win the trophy. If not, the game on the weekend could already be Gaydarov’s final one in charge. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on , , , or any leading podcast distributor…*
