With top candidate Julian Nagelsmann extending with Germany and former coach Hansi Flick still not in the bag, the Bavarians are widening their search to include even former coaches from their apparent rivals:❗️Update Trainersuche beim #fcbayern: Mit Blick auf eine mögliche Übergangslösung fiel zuletzt auch der Name Lucien #Favre, mit dem Max #Eberl in Mönchengladbach rund vier Jahre zusammengearbeitet hat. Roberto #deZerbi und Zinedine #Zidane sollen kein heißes Thema mehr sein ⚪️— Georg Holzner (@georg_holzner) April 21, 2024Update on the search for a trainer at #fcbayern : With a view to a possible interim solution, the name Lucien #Favre was recently mentioned, with whom Max #Eberl worked together in Mönchengladbach for around four years. Roberto #deZerbi and Zinedine #Zidane are no longer a hot topic ⚪️Favre’s name pops up due to his connection with Max Eberl at Borussia Mönchengladbach in the mid-2010s. The Swiss tactician also managed Borussia Dortmund and very nearly drove Bayern out of first place in 2018/19. He most recently managed Nice in Ligue 1.Looking for more thoughts and analysis of the aftershocks of Bayern Munich’s big win over Arsenal FC, plus a breakdown of what might happen this summer at the wing position in Bavaria?

1. FC Union Berlin v FC Bayern München - Bundesliga Photo by Maja Hitij/Getty Images Who needs a coach, anyway? Reports that Bayern Munich was exploring the option of former Borussia Dortmund coach Lucien Favre turned heads. Now, kicker journalist Georg Holzner has shed more light on why that may be the case.In something that has been speculated given the availability of some top candidates, Bayern Munich could be looking at a short-term solution for its coaching situation: ❗️Update Trainersuche beim #fcbayern: Mit Blick auf eine mögliche Übergangslösung fiel zuletzt auch der Name Lucien #Favre, mit dem Max #Eberl in Mönchengladbach rund vier Jahre zusammengearbeitet hat. Roberto #deZerbi und Zinedine #Zidane sollen kein heißes Thema mehr sein ⚪️— Georg Holzner (@georg_holzner) April 21, 2024❗️ Update on the search for a trainer at #fcbayern : With a view to a possible interim solution, the name Lucien #Favre was recently mentioned, with whom Max #Eberl worked together in Mönchengladbach for around four years. Roberto #deZerbi and Zinedine #Zidane are no longer a hot topic ⚪️Could the Bavarians be looking only for a temporary replacement for Thomas Tuchel? The club has gone so far with a head coach with an expiry date, so what’s another year?BFW AnalysisSome day this club will be in better shape, but this is a right mess.Bayern is learning the very, very hard way that the grass is not always greener. It is the culmination of events set in motion by the sacking of Julian Nagelsmann — ripping up a project before it had a chance to bloom. No problem if the next guy comes in and saves everything, but Tuchel didn’t duplicate his Chelsea FC act and win the Champions League. Instead, he let things get so bad he got an immediate boot, at a time with slim pickings on the market.Now the club has brought in two new execs poised to make a decision they don’t seem to really want (even if it is a less “interim” option), for a coach who might only be keeping the seat warm for Xabi Alonso or Jürgen Klopp, and if results go further south it is not likely to recommend Max Eberl or Christoph Freund for longer stays, either.Bayern is too well-run financially to stay down for long, but will any of these names still be around when the Bavarians are back on steady ground?In the meantime, the final years of Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller, maybe even Harry Kane twist in the wind.
