Kevin Volland is hanging up his boots after his plan to lead 1860 Munich back to the 2nd Bundesliga ended in disaster. The former national player is pulling the ripcord after a turbulent engagement that was overshadowed by a financial dispute. Volland moved to the Lions with the clear goal of achieving promotion.

Instead, the club slipped into a deep crisis, which was triggered by a massive financial dispute and resulted in the sporting relegation to the regional league. The player was suddenly confronted with the harsh reality in which financial instability torpedoes sporting goals. The deep disappointment over the failed plans and the chaotic conditions in Munich outweighed the desire to continue playing.
