“I was really happy to play alongside the best friends I met at this club,” Kumagai wrote on her Instagram account.
Kumagai’s two seasons with Bayern followed an eight-year spell with French club Lyon, which notably won five Champions Leagues.
One of Japan’s oldest internationals, Kumagai was part of the Nadeshiko team that won the 2011 Women’s World Cup and was runners-up four years later.
A silver medalist at the 2012 Olympics, Kumagai is set to represent Japan at her fourth World Cup this summer in New Zealand and Australia.
