One defeat too many? Surprised by Bochum (2-3) on the 22nd day of the Bundesliga, Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich is sinking a little deeper into the doldrums. Now relegated to eight units of Bayer Leverkusen, solid leader of the championship, the Bavarian club is more worried than ever, just a few days before a decisive round of 16 return on the European scene. Obviously, the noose tightens around the German coach.

This Monday morning, the Italian press was agitated and affirmed that Zinedine Zidane was one of the targets of the residents of the Allianz Arena to replace Tuchel. Information confirmed this evening by Sky Germany. However, while no discussions have yet taken place with the Frenchman according to the German media, another avenue leads to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Bavarian sporting director, Christoph Freund, is following the situation of the Norwegian coach very closely and could possibly take action in the coming weeks to offer him an interim position until the end of the season. However, nothing has yet been advanced in the possible recruitment of the former Manchester United coach.
