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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
