After a disappointing season that saw Bayern Munich fail to win any major trophies, the club is already looking ahead to the future. With the departures of key players such as Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, as well as the unsuccessful signings of Renato Sanches and James Rodriguez, the Bavarian giants are in need of a fresh start. And their next target is to find a new manager to lead them to success.
The search for a new manager began after Niko Kovac’s departure in November 2019. Despite winning the Bundesliga title in his first season, Kovac failed to meet the high expectations of Bayern Munich and was ultimately let go. The club then turned to interim manager Hansi Flick, who has done a commendable job in guiding the team to the top of the Bundesliga table and into the Champions League knockout stages.
However, it is clear that Bayern Munich are looking for a long-term solution and have set their sights on some big names in the football world. The first name on their list was former player and current Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola. Guardiola had a successful spell at Bayern Munich from 2013 to 2016, winning three Bundesliga titles and two DFB-Pokals. However, it seems that Guardiola is happy at Manchester City and has no plans to leave anytime soon.
The next target for Bayern Munich was RB Leipzig manager, Julian Nagelsmann. At just 32 years old, Nagelsmann has already made a name for himself as one of the most promising young managers in Europe. He has led RB Leipzig to the top of the Bundesliga table and into the Champions League knockout stages, making him an attractive option for Bayern Munich. However, Nagelsmann recently signed a contract extension with RB Leipzig, putting an end to any hopes of him joining Bayern Munich.
The latest target for Bayern Munich is former Borussia Dortmund and current Paris Saint-Germain manager, Thomas Tuchel. Tuchel has had a successful spell at PSG, winning back-to-back Ligue 1 titles and leading the team to the Champions League final last season. However, his contract with PSG is set to expire in 2021 and there have been reports of tension between Tuchel and the club’s sporting director, Leonardo. This has led to speculation that Tuchel could be open to a move to Bayern Munich.
Another name that has been linked with Bayern Munich is former Juventus manager, Massimiliano Allegri. Allegri had a successful spell at Juventus, winning five consecutive Serie A titles and reaching two Champions League finals. However, he has been out of a job since leaving Juventus in 2019 and could be a viable option for Bayern Munich.
While these are all top managers who have achieved success at their respective clubs, there are also some concerns about their fit with Bayern Munich. Guardiola’s style of play may not be a good fit for the club’s current squad, while Tuchel’s strict and demanding nature could clash with the players. Allegri’s conservative approach may also not align with Bayern Munich’s attacking philosophy.
But one thing is for sure, Bayern Munich will not settle for anything less than a top-class manager who can lead them to success both domestically and in Europe. The club’s CEO, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, has stated that they will take their time in finding the right manager and will not rush into a decision.
In the meantime, Hansi Flick will continue to lead the team and has the full support of the players. Flick has brought stability to the team and has shown that he is capable of managing a top club. He has also been praised for his man-management skills and his ability to get the best out of the players.
The next manager of Bayern Munich will have big shoes to fill, with the club’s high expectations and history of success. But whoever takes on the role will have a talented squad at their disposal, with the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, and Joshua Kimmich leading the way. And with the right manager, Bayern Munich will surely be back to their winning ways.
In conclusion, Bayern Munich’s next target after the failed pursuits of Guardiola and Nagelsmann is to find a new manager who can lead them to success. The club has set their sights on some top names in the football world, but they will not rush into a decision. In the meantime, Flick
