While it is said that Zinedine Zidane would be interested in the idea of sitting on the Bayern bench next season, the Munich leaders would have other names in mind.
Thomas Tuchel will no longer be the coach of Bayern Munich next season. The German coach is paying for the poor performances of his team, which is heading towards the end of the year without any title. “After open discussions, we came to the conclusion to end our joint work this summer », Said the chairman of the board Christian Dreesen this Wednesday, quoted in the club press release.
Therefore, Munich decision-makers are already looking for a replacement. And one name has come up insistently in recent days, that of Zinedine Zidane. Without a club since his departure from Real Madrid at the end of the 2020-2021 season, the French legend would be interested in the idea of taking back the reins of the Bavarian team, according to Sports 1.
Zidane, the third choice?
Yes but here it is, according to Kicker, the 98 world champion would not be the priority of the Munich leaders. Their top priority would be Xabi Alonso, who is doing wonders for Leverkusen. In the event of the refusal of the former Spanish midfielder, also coveted by Liverpool, the reigning German champions would have targeted Unai Emery, who is doing excellent work at Aston Villa. Bad news for Zidane.
Wednesday evening on RMC, Christophe Dugarry, close to “Zizou”, suggested that Bayern had every chance of convincing the former number 10 of the Blues.“The German championship is great. The stadiums are full, the championship is very open… I think all coaches dream of coaching a club like Bayern. Pep Guardiola, the best coach in the world, went there. It’s so straightforward, the coaches have the means, there’s a fervor, your work is respected… It’s absolute perfection”estimated “Duga”, and added: “ I think it’s one of the perfect clubs for Zidane, he said. The perfect club is Real Madrid, and they have done it again and again. Afterwards, whether he wants to go there, I don’t know. »
