The rumor therefore quickly gained momentum in the space of a few minutes, with everyone thinking that the former Sassuolo coach was going to be the lucky one to succeed Thomas Tuchel at Bayern. But sports director Max Eberl firmly denied this suggestion after the defeat (4-2) against Hoffenheim in front of the press.
