FC Bayern takes Union Berlin apart – coaching question before the end

4 Munich players with 2 scorers each

The dethroned series champions FC Bayern Munich have pushed 1. FC Union Berlin even deeper into the Bundesliga relegation battle. The Munich team won 5-1 (2-0) on Saturday evening and are apparently a little further ahead when it comes to the coaching question for the coming season.

In front of 22,012 spectators in the An der Alten Försterei stadium, Leon Goretzka (29th minute) and Harry Kane put the extremely dominant guests in the lead with a directly converted free kick (45th + 1). Thomas Müller (53rd/66th), who was in the starting line-up for the 400th time in a Bundesliga game, and Mathys Tel (62nd) increased the number. Goretzka, Kane and Tel also each contributed an assist. With Müller, that makes four players who collected two scorers. Müller also scored a goal for the first time on matchday 30. The Bayern icon had already scored on all other match days. Yorbe Vertessen (90+1) scored for the hosts shortly before the end.

Given that the championship has long been decided, the Munich victory seems almost meaningless. At the end of the season, the team’s focus is entirely on the only remaining chance for the title and the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid on April 30th. And the management team around Max Eberl also has significantly more burning topics on their to-do list with the search for a successor to coach Thomas Tuchel.

Eberl: FC Bayern on coaching question before announcement – Zidane probably not an issue

“We are very final and will hopefully be able to announce something soon,” said Eberl on the coaching question. According to the sports director, former world champion Zinédine Zidane, who was recently discussed, is not an issue. One criterion is that the new trainer speaks at least English. “I don’t know if he speaks English,” said Eberl, indicating that he had not spoken to the Frenchman.
