RIBERY DEPARTS BAYERN
Bayern Munich legend Franck Ribery has signed for Fiorentina, the Serie A club announced on Wednesday. The 36-year-old, who won a record nine Bundesliga titles during his stay in Germany, has penned a two-year deal with the Florence-based side to take him through until 2021.
Bayern Munich decided to reduce the average age of the squad this summer. The club sold Mats Hummels to Borussia Dortmund while numerous veteran players were released.
Franck Ribery was one of these veteran players whose contract at Bayern expired this summer.
Arjen Robben decided to retire from the game, but Ribery was eager to continue playing at the top level. The Frenchman was ready to reject lucrative offers from different parts of the globe as he wanted to play for a European club. Ribery’s wish was finally fulfilled this week as Fiorentina found a breakthrough during the talks with his agent. The former Bayern winger arrived in Florence on Wednesday to undergo medical and complete the final details of the deal.
The Frenchman was linked with numerous clubs since leaving Bayern. Sheffield United and Eintracht Frankfurt reportedly emerged as the shock destinations for the winger, but the two clubs quickly denied these claims. Moreover, Ribery was unlikely to play for any other German club, while Sheffield United had just gained promotion to the Premier League.

Ribery was also linked with Al-Nassr . The Saudi Arabian club had reportedly offered a lucrative two-year contract to the French winger. Ribery’s sheer determination to play at the top level for at least two more years decreased the possibility of moving to Saudi Arabia.
Fiorentina will allow Ribery to play in a top-five European league. However, the Frenchman will not have a realistic chance of winning Serie A as Fiorentina are unlikely to challenge Juventus for the title. The Italian club struggled in the league last season as they finished 16th in the table. He will not get the taste of European football, but good playing time looks certain.
Ribery could turn out to be an inspirational signing for the Italian club. If he finds a way to remain fit throughout the season, then Fiorentina will have a decent chance of breaking into top six of the Serie A. The slow and more tactical nature of Serie A might also aid Ribery’s style of play.
Bayern Munich has seen best of Ribery in the last 12 years. Seeing the Frenchman in a different kit will be odd, but it will be interesting to see how he fares in a new league. One thing is sure that Fiorentina fans will get to see Ribery working relentlessly on the pitch.

NEW YEAR INSPIRATION The year is into full swing already Tellrheaders, but for all we have missed so far, I wish you a Happy New Year. There are a lot of things that come with the new year - resolutions, tasks etc. However, one must be inspired to achieve. For inspiration, where do you look? Lets take you back to the 70's, 1976 to be precise. The first movie of the Rocky series was born, produced out of a brilliant manuscripts written by a film actor who was struggling financially and had his backyard problems to solve. The actor and writer of this wonderful piece wrote the first manuscript in under twenty hours, after seeing the boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner. That actor/writer is Sylvester Stallone and today the Rocky franchise ( if I may call it so) is a recognized international movie with great acclaims, enough to earn Stallone a place in the International Boxing Hall of Fame in a non-commissioned for playing the role of Rocky. When Stallone wrote
