Thomas Tuchel is leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the season, it is certain. He announced this in February. This means, Bayern are on the lookout for a new coach. First they wanted Xabi Alonso. The Bavarians wanted to take the coach who led Bayer Leverkusen to the championship.
But Xabi Alonso has revealed he will not be leaving Bayer Leverkusen this season. After that, the name of Jose Mourinho is also on the list of possible coach of Bayern. However, the German giants have suddenly turned to coach Zinedine Zidane, who won the Champions League three seasons in a row with Real Madrid.
The German Bundesliga title is already settled. Bayer Leverkusen went unbeaten to become champions. Bayern had no chance to fight back. Bayern was eliminated from the second round of the German Cup. The only hope left now is the UEFA Champions League. However, they will face Real Madrid in the semis.
Will Zidane be seen as a coach in the new season, in Bayern’s dugout? The answer would probably be ‘no’. Former Bayern Munich and Germany footballer Dietmar Hamann has explained why Zinedine Zidane will not take over as Bayern Munich coach.
In an interview with Goal.com, Zidane explained the reason why he could not join Bayern, and said, “They (Bayern Munich) have already said that they want someone who can speak English well. The coach is not required to speak German. But a coach who knows English is needed. Generally, Zidane can’t speak English at all. So, he is beyond all reckoning.’
Haman has informed that Bayern has started talking with another coach. He is Martin Demichelis. Currently, he is serving the popular club River Plate in Argentina. Demichelis knows English. Good team coach. This is why Bayern Munich are leaning towards him.
In addition, Roberto De Jarvi is also in the discussion of Bayern’s coach. De Jarvie is now the coach of English Premier League club Brighton.
Zidane has been unemployed since 2021, De Jarvie is Brighton coach and Demichelis has a contract with Riverplate until 2025. Bayern will officially announce the name of the new coach in the next few days.
