If Tuchel leaves sooner
On Wednesday, FC Bayern announced that they would be separating from coach Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season. In the event that the collaboration should come to an end even before then, the people of Munich can apparently take precautions: Like “SkyOle Gunnar Solskjær would be available as an interim solution. The former professional and coach of Manchester United can imagine only signing a contract until the summer.
The 50-year-old Norwegian was on the sidelines for the “Red Devils” between December 2018 and November 2021, and Solskjær has been without a coaching job since then. The former center forward had a points average of 1.79 – and is apparently being considered by those in charge at Bayern as a short-term solution. However, the plan is to end the season with Tuchel and in the process to give the players more responsibility.

“Our goal is to reorient the sport with a new coach for the 2024/25 season,” explained CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen after an “open, good conversation” with Tuchel. Bayer Leverkusen’s successful coach Xabi Alonso is considered the favorite to succeed him. The Spanish world and European champion is still under contract with the league leaders until 2026, but is said to have an exit clause. In addition to the usually well-informed “X” channel, “Inside Eintracht FFM” now has “fussball.news” reporters Christopher Michel Details of this same clause have been published.
According to reports, Alonso, who is also on Liverpool FC’s list as a possible successor to Jürgen Klopp, can be bought out of his contract with Bayer for 15 to 20 million euros. This would mean a deal would be at least close to the fee that FC Bayern had to transfer to Leipzig for Julian Nagelsmann in 2021: 25 million euros. It is said that Alonso’s release clause can be drawn at the end of May. The DFB Cup final will take place in Berlin on May 25th, Bayer is one win against Fortuna Düsseldorf away from reaching the final.
Bayern coach since the start of the championship series: How they went or had to go
Jupp Heynckes – July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2013

Expenses for new recruits during their term of office: €122.4 million for 13 players
After Louis van Gaal’s term came to an early end with a lot of background noise, former coach Heynckes took over again. After three second places in the last titleless season of 2011/12, he can try to return to the top – and celebrates the triple in the summer of 2013. But his farewell is already certain because Munich has signed Pep Guardiola. Heynckes makes it clear that he is not comfortable with all the details of the replacement.

Expenses for new recruits during their term of office: €175.75 million for 15 players
The Catalan star coach is the last Munich coach to leave, as was agreed upon when the contract was signed. Guardiola even suffered four competitive defeats in a row in 2015. The Munich team is eliminated in the semi-finals of the DFB Cup and the Champions League, but they are already confirmed as champions. The former Barcelona coach decides not to extend the contract during his third season. In his Bayern era, the only thing he was denied was the Champions League final.
Carlo Ancelotti – July 1, 2016 to September 28, 2017

Expenses for new recruits during their term of office: €173.5 million for 9 players
The current successful Real coach is celebrating the double in his first season. When he had to leave early the following season, his team was only in third place in the Bundesliga table. The 3-0 defeat at PSG in September 2017, when Ancelotti stunned the Bayern bosses with his line-up and angered leading players, ensured the Italian’s ice time. Just 17 hours after the slap in Paris, humiliated FC Bayern threw their coach out the door. First Willy Sagnol helps out for a short time, then triple winner Heynckes takes over again until the masterful end of the season.
Niko Kovac – July 1, 2018 to November 3, 2019

Expenses for new recruits during their term of office: €145.5 million for 8 players
As Heynckes’ successor, Kovac had to deal with his first serious setback in March 2019 with the clear round of 16 exit in the Champions League against Liverpool FC. There is repeated friction with leading players. There are trends in the team that want to get rid of the coach. Kovac celebrates the double in 2019, it ends in autumn. After a 5-1 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt after three wins, FC Bayern parted ways with Kovac. At this point, the Munich team is only in fourth place in the table.
Hansi Flick – November 3rd, 2019 to June 30th, 2021
© IMAGO
Expenses for new recruits during their term of office: €66 million for 7 players
As Kovac’s successor, Flick will initially be interim coach, and later he will be given responsibility for the star ensemble for a longer period of time. He records victory after victory. Flick also celebrates the triple and a historic six titles in one year. This gives him a contract extension until June 30, 2023, but the collaboration will be ended early. There are repeated differences of opinion with the then sports director Hasan Salihamidzic. Flick also really wants to succeed Joachim Löw as national coach. The club and coach agree to terminate the contract.
Julian Nagelsmann – July 1st, 2021 to March 24th, 2023

Expenses for new recruits during their term of office: €204 million for 12 players
After a 1-2 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen after four competitive wins, FC Bayern slipped to second place in the Bundesliga. The then bosses Oliver Kahn and Salihamidzic see the season’s goals at risk and parted ways with Nagelsmann, who had signed a contract until 2026. The team is still involved in the cup and Champions League at this point. “Julian Nagelsmann shouldn’t have gone on a skiing holiday after the defeat in Leverkusen. If he had stayed in Munich, we would have sat down and talked on Monday or Tuesday. And, who knows what would have happened then?” Honorary President Uli Hoeneß raises a separation theory a little later.
Thomas Tuchel – March 24, 2023 to June 30, 2024

When the chance of winning the championship became a long way off, FC Bayern announced on February 21st that they were parting ways with Tuchel, who would still finish the season in Munich. The record champion’s championship streak could then be history after eleven titles in a row.
FC Bayern has already contacted Alonso’s side, Sky reported on Wednesday. Reporter and transfer expert Florian Plettenberg said it had been confirmed to him that FCB had “a good to very good chance of getting Alonso in the summer.” Until then, Tuchel should prevent the first titleless season since 2011/12 – or, in case of doubt, a candidate like Solskjær.
