context_page_description: Holger Felix Badstuber is a German professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Regionalliga team VfB Stuttgart II. He is primarily a centre-back but has also played left-back in the past.
  Badstuber made his debut in the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich in the 2009–10 season, at the age of 19. He played nearly every game that year and helped the club win the league and cup double and reached the UEFA Champions League final the same year, before eventually earning a call up to the German national team for the World Cup in 2010 and later the Euro 2012. He won over 30 caps for Germany. Former Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal stated in 2010 that Badstuber was the best left footed defender in Germany.
context_section_description: On 4 August 2017, a few weeks after being released by Bayern Munich, Badstuber announced his return to VfB Stuttgart, the club for whom he played as a young teenager, on a free transfer. He finished the 2017–18 season with two goals in 28 appearances.
  On 10 July 2018, Badstuber extended his contract with Stuttgart until June 2021.
