Hansi Flick? Roberto De Zerbi? Or continue with Thomas Tuchel? The search for a coach at Bayern remains exciting.
According to media reports, coach Thomas is expected to stay Tuchel cannot be ruled out at FC Bayern Munich despite the agreed separation at the end of the season.
As Sky reports, captains Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller are said to have actively approached those responsible at Bayern in order to advocate for further cooperation with Tuchel. Accordingly, Leroy Sane, Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Jamal Musiala would also like to continue working with Tuchel. According to Bild information, the continued employment of Tuchel (50) is again an issue, and some players have spoken out in favor of him.
Tuchel, who actually has a contract until 2025, was not officially farewelled around his last Munich home game on Sunday against VfL Wolfsburg (2-0). Sports director Max Eberl did not want to respond to speculation about continued employment. The agreement for Tuchel to leave the club in the summer had already been concluded when he took office in March, said the 50-year-old.
Eberl is annoyed that the search for a successor to Tuchel is still not over. Leverkusen’s master coach Xabi Alonso, national coach Julian Nagelsmann and Austria’s team boss Ralf Rangnick do not see their future in Munich. According to the media, former Munich seven-title coach and national coach Hansi Flick is considered a candidate, as is Roberto De Zerbi from Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion.
