Bayern Munich goalkeeper Oliver Kahn is preparing for his final pre-season training programme with the same enthusiasm he has displayed throughout his 20-year career.
The 38-year-old retires from football at the end of next season but is determined to end his glittering career on a high note.
He called time on his international career after helping Germany finish third at last year's World Cup, and is eager to go one better when he bows out of the domestic game.
He won't be able to claim the biggest prize in club football as Bayern have failed to qualify to the Champions League, but victory in the UEFA Cup would offer the giant German some consolation.
Kahn is also eyeing the Bundesliga crown and the German Cup in his swansong year as he bids to sign off with a treble-winning campaign.
He told Bild newspaper: "I want to win everything once again.
"Last season, there was no reason to be in a good mood, but that season now belongs in the past."
Kahn returns to the training ground on Friday, where he will be joined by a raft of new faces, brought in following Bayern's dismal campaign last season.
Nine new arrivals will report for their first session of the summer, including the impressive triumvirate of Luca Toni, Franck Ribery and Miroslav Klose.
But despite the addition of this impressive trio to the club's ranks, Kahn expects the driving force behind the club's coming campaign will be coach Ottmar Hitzfeld.
Kahn added: "I think Ottmar is just the right man to get everything under control."
