Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise has been rewarded for a brilliant start to 2026 by being named Bundesliga Player of the Month for January.
The winger, who often operates as an attacking midfielder, topped the league’s vote after a run of eye-catching displays for the German champions.
Olise finished ahead of several high-profile contenders in the final voting, including Bayern teammate Luis Díaz, Nico Schlotterbeck, Stefan Bell, Miro Muheim, and Luka Vuskovic. The outcome reflects how decisive his performances have been in recent weeks and how quickly he has become a key figure in Bayern’s forward line.
Across five Bundesliga matches in January, Olise scored three goals and delivered eight assists, underlining his blend of creativity, vision, and end product in the final third. His influence has been central to Bayern’s strong opening to the new year, consistently unlocking defenses and driving the team’s attacking rhythm.
This award further strengthens his growing reputation as one of the most exciting attacking talents in the league and a player capable of shaping Bayern’s ambitions in both domestic and European competitions for the rest of the season.
