“Clubs don’t want to sign a player with children”

Reconciliation remains one of the great pending sport themes and in football specifically. The last to release this steep object is the Olympic gold medal and winner of the Champions League, the German Almuth Schultthat is one of the best football porters in history.

Schult She has been in an interview that has been published today in the magazine ‘Kicker’ That his career ended early because the clubs were reluctant to sign a player to the children. The 34 -Year -old German was announced in March, three months after the end of his contract with Kansas City currently of the National Women’s Soccer League American.

“In my opinion, in Europe it is not normal for a football player to have children. They admit it or not the clubs, that’s my subjective impression,” Schult said. “Many clubs are concerned that there may be difficulties and difficulties with mothers, though it doesn’t have to be that way.”

Schult made sure he felt that he could play the “one or two more years at the highest level” and he believed being a mother was “the main reason” in which the conversations for their renewal did not work. The former player gave birth to twins in 2020 and a third son in 2023. “I have no contract after my second pregnancy,” said Schult, who played 66 times with the German national team. “No club believes I can still help, even though I have shown it after my first pregnancy.”

Schult won the Champions League with Wolfsburg in 2014 and the Olympic Gold Medal with Germany at the 2016 Games at Rio de Janeiro and a career as a specialized German television commentator also worked. He suggested that clubs in Europe could have something to learn from Americans when helping players continue their career after having children. “My career will take another course if I have the same support I recently received in the United States,” he said. “Clubs don’t want to sign a player with kids,” he said.
