He won a record 150 German caps, and inspired Bayern Munich to six Bundesliga titles.

Also a Serie A and UEFA Cup winner with Inter Milan, the former midfielder has been wed five times.

His most recent marriage, to Anastasia Klimko, lasted seven years before ending in 2021.

Matthaus has now been spotted at an Austrian ski resort with German model Theresa Sommer, 26.

The highly-educated brunette reportedly studied economics and management at King's College in London - as well as psychology at Durham University.

An accomplished judo player in her childhood, she is now a talented skier.

German media spotted her taking part in a ski event at Ischgl in Austria - in company with Matthaus.

Bunte magazine quizzed the football legend about his relationship with Theresa.

Matthaus replied with a smile: "We are here for the skiing, and that is a private matter."

Several of the dad-of-four's former wives have been significantly younger than him.

But news of Bavaria-born Matthaus' latest age-gap relationship has since set tongues wagging across Europe.

The defender-turned midfielder went into management after hanging up his boots.

He has coached the Hungary and Bulgaria national sides, as well as clubs in Austria, Serbia, Brazil and Israel.
