The situation becomes embarrassing for a club of the standing of Bayern Munich. Who would have bet on the Bavarian giant’s inability to find a new coach? On May 17, Thomas Tuchel confirmed that discussions had indeed taken place with his management (to make him stay, editor’s note), but that he was going to leave Munich at the end of the season. “This is the last press conference in Säbener Straße (Bayern’s training center, editor’s note). The February agreement remains. There were other discussions, but we did not reach an agreement.
Since then, the Munich management has continued to refuse. There are in fact no less than seven to have rebuffed the FCB in recent weeks: Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, Zinedine Zidane, Oliver Glasner, Roberto De Zerbi and therefore Thomas Tuchel. They who had promised the arrival of the new coach in April, the Bayern decision-makers are visibly encountering more problems than expected. Which did not prevent sports director Max Eberl from playing the optimist.
Kompany relegated to Championship
“The best is for last”. Is he self-persuading? Since last night, a new track exists. An option that no one saw coming. Skysport Germany assures that Bayern has set its sights on Vincent Kompany! Coach of Burnley since the 2022-2023 season, the former Belgian defender has just been relegated to the Championship with his club. Suffice to say that Kompany did not really expect to be approached by such a team.
Under contract with Burnley until 2028, the Belgian has already contacted Bayern who seem seduced by this option. Currently on vacation, the former Red Devil is giving himself a few days of reflection. Will he be the eighth coach to refuse the Munich offer? The response should not take too long.
