Bayern announce contract extensions for Robben and Rafinha

FC Bayern München have announced that Arjen Robben and Rafinha will remain at the Allianz Arena beyond the current campaign after agreeing new one-year deals.

Four days after Franck Ribery's contract extension, teammates Arjen Robben and Rafinha agreed to stay with the "Bavarians" as well until June 2019.

Robben has made 290 appearances for Bayern, winning the Bundesliga title seven times, and scored the winning goal in their 2013 Champions League triumph when they beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 at Wembley.

"I'm not a stats fan, but Johan Cruyff is still rightly regarded as the greatest footballer in the history of Holland", Robben said.

Friday's announcement of the appointment of Miroslav Klose as Bayern Munich's under-17 coach came as little surprise, as the club had confirmed last month that it was negotiating with the 39-year-old former striker with a view to him taking the job. "I want to continue learning in the next few years and repay the club's faith in me with good performances".
