3-0 against Lazio Rome, 8-1 against 1. FSV Mainz 05: FC Bayern’s decision to announce the separation from coach Thomas in the middle of the hot phase of the season certainly seems to be bearing fruit. Aside from the successes, the exciting question still remains: Who will be in the coaching bench in Munich from the summer? Apparently a clearer picture is slowly emerging.
The Spanish portal “Don Balon” confirms that Xabi Alonso from Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen is FC Bayern’s dream solution to succeed Thomas Tuchel, but a comeback by the former Munich player on Säbener Straße is “unimaginable” at the moment “.
Therefore, you should look for suitable alternatives to the German record champions and have a former world footballer in mind: Zinédine Zidane.
The Frenchman, who has only coached Real Madrid (three terms in office) but won the Champions League three times with the Royals, is currently said to be ahead of Roberto de Zerbi from Brighton Hove & Albion, who also plays a role in FC Bayern’s considerations is supposed to play, they say.
Zidane’s advantage, according to the report, is that he has proven to be able to control different egos in the team.

“I don’t think he will take a new position before the European Championships because his priority is still to become France national coach. France should [bei der EM] If we disappoint, then Didier Deschamps could give up his place,” speculates Johnson.
However, FC Bayern will probably not make a quick decision anyway. On Tuesday, Victor Catalina from the “Abendzeitung” quoted Bavaria’s sports director Christoph Freund as saying: “It’s important that we do the right thing and not the quickest thing.”
