DFB-Pokal: Bayern München - Borussia Dortmund, Luca Toni mit Pokal (firo)

Kahn is set to hang up his gloves at the end of the season to bring the curtain down on a glittering career spanning 21 years, 14 of them spent at Bayern.

The 38-year-old is the current captain of the Bavarians, and the contest has begun to find a new armband-wearer next season.

According to reports in Germany, Kahn believes that Italian hitman Toni deserves to be named as the new skipper.

The 30-year-old only joined Bayern last summer from Fiorentina, however he has had a simply sensational first season at the club.
The towering frontman has scored a whopping 36 goals in all competitions, and is the top-scorer in the German Bundesliga.

Kahn believes that Toni sets a good example, commands the respect of the rest of his team-mates, while he also has a winning mentality, something Bayern have always possessed as a team over the past 40 years.
