Bayern Munich has six very surprising names to replace Thomas Tuchel!

Swept by Bayer Leverkusen (3-0), beaten by Lazio in the Champions League (1-0), Bayern Munich is in a complicated period. Temporarily relegated to eight points behind the leader (with a game in hand), Bayer Leverkusen, the Bavarians see the title of German champion slipping away. Already eliminated in the German Cup, the Rekordmeister also sees elimination in the Champions League getting closer. A dynamic that could cost coach Thomas Tuchel dearly. If his dismissal is not yet an urgent subject for Bayern Munich, it could accelerate if the former coach of Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea fails to turn things around.

And to do this, the decision-makers of the German club have already identified six possible replacements for the German technician according to Bild. If the latter were to leave Bayern Munich during the season, we will have to turn to free coaches. Former coach of Bayern Munich during the 2008-2009 season – where he lost the title to Wolfsburg – Jürgen Klinsmann is an option. Semi-finalist of the last Asian Cup of Nations with South Korea and just sacked, he nevertheless remains the least credible track for the moment. Another veteran, but whose return would be much less surprising, Hans-Dieter Flick.

The incredible idea Thomas Müller

Winner of the 2020 Champions League, the 2020 German Cup and the Bundesliga in 2020 and 2021, the man who was fired from his post as Germany coach last September could make his comeback. A credible option because he is appreciated by the Bavarian locker room, has seen his relations with the leaders calm down and Hasan Salihamidžić, his former rival within Bayern Munich, is no longer there. Another free coach who is in the sights of the German club, José Mourinho is a possibility, but it remains rather cold compared to that leading to Hans-Dieter Flick and others for this summer. Three other names come up in the discussions.

There is obviously Xabi Alonso, leader with Bayer Leverkusen, and whose recent Bayern Munich offensive we revealed to you. However, Xabi Alonso has a preference for Liverpool in the event of departure from Bayer Leverkusen. Even if this does not completely destroy Bavaria’s chances in this matter, it strongly limits them. Third in the Bundesliga with VfB Stuttgart and nephew of the honorary president of Bayern Munich Uli Hoeneß, Sebastian Hoeneß is doing a good job with the Swabians and had already shown good things with Hoffenheim and the youth teams of Bayern Munich. An arrival this summer is possible, but the timing raises questions internally where it is estimated that the burden of training Bayern Munich could be too great at the moment for the 41-year-old coach.

Nevertheless, he is considered an option for the future of the Rekordmeister. Finally, a rather surprising trail leads to Thomas Müller. Part of the team at 34, the attacking midfielder has played less since last season when he slipped as a replacement with the emergence of Jamal Musiala. Bayern Munich is not closing the door on offering him this position while accompanying him with an experienced assistant like Hermann Gerland who officiated at the club between 2001 and 2021 before joining Hansi Flick with the German selection. Thomas Tuchel is still in office, but ideas are flowing in Munich to try to find his best possible replacement.
