Zinédine Zidane is announced in the sights of Bayern Munich to replace Thomas Tuchel, but there is absolutely nothing concrete, as Fabrizio Romano indicated this Tuesday.
It would be a huge surprise to see Zinédine Zidane at the helm of Bayern. Free since his departure from Real Madrid in 2021, “Zizou” is still looking for a bench, after having waited in vain for the departure of Didier Deschamps from the France team. The Munich challenge is particularly interesting, the club being a juggernaut largely capable of winning the Champions League (he has already won it three times as a coach).
Sky Sport only announced that the French football legend was on the short list of Bayern leaders in the event of Thomas Tuchel being sidelined. Like other technicians, starting with Xabi Alonso, the strategist at the head of Leverkusen, the great leader of the Bundesliga. The Spaniard also knows that Liverpool would like to offer him succession to Jürgen Klopp this summer. It is not specified that Zidane was interested in Bayern.
Bayern chose… Tuchel!
Fabrizio Romano, in a YouTube video on Tuesday, rightly explained that Bayern had confirmed Tuchel for the next matches and that no contact had been established with Zidane. It is the former PSG coach who is responsible for putting the Bavarian team back on the right path, in the Bundesliga (second eight points behind Bayer) and in the Champions League (after a 1-0 defeat in the round of 16 first leg against Lazio).
Zidane, although he obviously does not speak German, can largely manage this international squad using English. Better still, the current squad currently includes many French people, with Dayot Upamecano, Bouna Sarr, Sacha Boey, Raphaël Guerreiro, Kingsley Coman and Mathys Tel, and even a perfectly French-speaking German in the person of Cameroonian international Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting .
