The search for a coach at FC Bayern could take an unexpected turn. According to media reports, it cannot be ruled out that coach Thomas Tuchel will remain with the German record champions despite an agreed separation at the end of the season.
As Sky reported on Monday, captains Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller are said to have actively approached those responsible at Bayern to advocate for further collaboration with Tuchel. According to the report, Leroy Sane, Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Jamal Musiala would also like to continue working with Tuchel. According to information from the German “Bild” newspaper, the continued employment of Tuchel is again an issue after some players spoke out in favor of him.

Eberl leaves speculation uncommented
Tuchel, who actually has a contract until 2025, was not officially farewelled during 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 ÖFB team boss Ralf Rangnick do not see their future in Munich. According to the media, former Munich success coach and national coach Hansi Flick is considered a candidate, as is Roberto De Zerbi from Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion.
