Mario Gomez and Franck Ribery yesterday both pledged their futures to Bayern Munich and spoke out in support of the club’s under-fire president Uli Hoeness.

Ribery has a contract until 2015, while striker Gomez, the Bundesliga’s joint top-scorer with 19 goals in 26 games, is contracted until 2013, but both insist they are not going anywhere.

“I’m staying at Bayern, I feel good here, I will not be going away,” Ribery told Munich newspaper TZ.

And Gomez, who has scored 30 goals in all competitions for Bayern this season, said he plans on staying in Bavaria for the foreseeable future.

“It’s not as though I intend to leave the club even after my contract expires,” he said.

With Bayern needing to finish second in the Bundesliga to be guaranteed a Champions League place next season, Dutch winger Arjen Robben has hinted he may leave after saying he has no desire to play Europa League football next season.

Gomez and Ribery have also leapt to the defence of president Hoeness who has been criticised by Bayern fans for giving financial help to local second-division rivals 1860 Munich, who recently faced bankruptcy.

“Hoeness is a great man and I know how hurt he was by the insults,” said Ribery. “I can’t understand it, it’s not good.”

Hoeness has spent more than 40 years at Bayern Munich as both a player and general manager.

“He has made the club great and he lives for Bayern, it’s a shame that something like this has happened,” said Gomez.
