Alexander Baumjohann: 'Sydney FC is Australia's biggest club' | Playing for Germany's biggest clubs | Why he moved to Australia

Season 1, Ep. 22

Alexander Baumjohann joins Adamo De Nigris to talk about his football journey from playing for the biggest clubs in Germany like Bayern Munich and Borussia Mönchengladbach, to why he moved to Australia - and quickly moved internally again - and his exciting new role with Sydney FC.


From Premier League champions to Socceroos greats, as well as topics that really get you thinking (who EXACTLY makes the Premier League Mount Rushmore?!), join these incredible conversations with world football identities that go further than the results on the pitch.
