Former German national team goalkeeper Eike Immel is currently living โon a monthly income of โjust 563 euros, โฃaccording to a report by Bild.The 60-year-old, who earned โฃ37 caps for West โคGermany between โค1980 and 1990, now volunteers as a youthโฃ goalkeeper coach in his hometownโ of Stadtallendorf, hesse.
Immel’s financial struggles stemโ from aโ history of borrowing money from acquaintances without โคrepayment, including the late โWorld โCup winner Andy Brehme’sโค partner. While he has returned to his roots in stadtallendorf since 2016, his lifestyle has substantially changed; he resides in an apartment owned byโ an associate and does not own the furniture. A legal dispute regarding a debtโค of approximately 60,000 euros is still ongoing, โwith a ruling not yet legally binding.
The former Bundesliga shot-stopper, โฃwho โplayed for clubs including Borussia Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart, now dedicates his time to coaching young players. He currently lives in โa borrowed apartment and uses borrowed furniture. Immel’s current situation contrasts sharply with his career asโข a professional footballer, culminating in participation in the 1990 World Cup in italy.
Bild โreports that Immel hasโข repeatedly borrowed โmoney fromโค various individuals โขover the โyears, โฃfailing to honourโฃ those debts.โฃ The reportโ highlights the case of Brehme’s partner as one of the creditors affected by immel’sโค financial practices.
Despite his current circumstances, Immel remains involved in football, offeringโค his expertise to theโ next generation of goalkeepers.the ongoing legal proceedings concerning the โ60,000 euro debt will โdetermine his future financial outlook.
