Former professional footballer Thorsten Legat announced his departure from reality television, citing a decline in production quality and an overreliance on TikTok influencers. He specifically noted that his participation in ‘Villa der Versuchung’ highlighted a clash between his authentic personality and contestants focused on show creation. Legat also denied rumors that financial instability motivated his media career.

Following this announcement, Legat shared details regarding his personal wealth and a new professional venture in Mallorca, Spain. He revealed that he manages a portfolio including 84 properties and has been financially secure for decades. Legat has relocated to Marratxí to serve as the head coach and co-founder of the newly established FC Germania Mallorca, a move that has necessitated a long-distance relationship with his wife in Germany.

Legat, 57, has clarified that his commitment to his players prevents him from participating in multi-week television productions, though he may consider single-day filming. He emphasized a strict standard of professionalism, noting that he requires his players to address him formally. 

FC Germania Mallorca currently competes in the eighth Spanish league and is supported by sponsors. Club president Amir Aziz has established an ambitious objective to achieve at least three promotions within the next five years, aiming to reach the fifth league and enter regional football. The club’s management team includes Managing and Marketing Director Aleks Petrovic.
