Apart from Nagelsmann, no name really springs to mind. Seems shitty timing to be looking for a new head coach.
But i'm not yet convinced that this the end of the drama, there may yet be more infighting at the club. The only certain outcome is that not both Brazzo and Flick will be at the club next season, i guess.
You’re a pretty high intensity team and the short breaks between the seasons probably hasn’t helped in that respect. There have been some absurd scorelines in football this year. Pressing athletic teams have struggled a fair bit this year.Pretty shit season all in all. Our football was uninspired for long stretches, our transfers werent good, no CL success, an embarrassing Cup exit, horrendous defending all season long, Flick leaving after this farcical spat with the Board... Feels like a wasted year somehow. At least there's Musiala to be hyped for.
Yes, i know, first world problems.
Doubtful, klopp will leave at the end of his contract and Bayern know that. Hopefully he extends though but I don’t see it.I’m struggling to think of anyone as well. Perhaps you’ll try your luck with Klopp, but I don’t see him leave Liverpool like this.
I stated couple of pages back that Nagelsmann hasn't got enough experience to deal with the circus at Bayern. It's far to early for him, will be eaten alive.
He is what 33 years old.. Flick has been coaching since 96.. Since Nagelsmann was 8, he was involved as assistant in the Germany setup in arguably their best period.He has a lot more experience in coaching at this level than Flick ever had.
So Nagelsmann is the obvious choice, the club bosses also rate him and a move to Bayern has always been a dream for him. It'd be a surprise if it's not him replacing Flick.

It helped a lot that he finally played as CB and not LB. I am obviously not a coach but i never understood why Flick absolutely insisted of playing him as LB with Alaba at LCB.
Hasenhüttl and ten Hag are also being mentioned. Probably lazy journos just linking everyone that speaks German
I can see what Alaba adds in the build up and in recovery when the high line is breached, but when asked to do more conventional defending with the opposition crowding the box, he seems to make basic positional errors and reckless challenges fairly often. Might be a mistaken perception from the highlights but it just seems like he’s caught out most often in the goals.
Alaba is very vocal from the back!
Well. So much for my perceptive qualities.Just watched that post PSG interview of Flick on Sky in full for the first time, and now I don't think it's certain Flick wants to leave.
Very very weird how this has developed. Who's the preference if Nagelsmann is got available? Really Ten Hag?

The next new manager is set up for failure. In Bayern only the caretaker/interim managers can win the treble.
"Long run" is how many years?Don't think Brazzo can survive this either, in the long run.
Beyond summer 2022, maybe? Could imagine there would be a buffer period of a season where the club doesn't sack him right away, but it feels like he's really damaged now."Long run" is how many years?
Salihamidzic will stay for many years....if a betting company has this bet then i would put a lot of money on that.Beyond summer 2022, maybe? Could imagine there would be a buffer period of a season where the club doesn't sack him right away, but it feels like he's really damaged now.
But I don't know the internal dynamics. Most importantly, I have no clue about the relation between Kahn (who will become CEO later this year, after all) and Brazzo.
Eberl extended at Gladbach until 2026 just the other week though, which points against him being available as replacement, in the next couple of years at least.
This is all merely my own speculation.
You might be right.Salihamidzic will stay for many years....if a betting company has this bet then i would put a lot of money on that.
You might be right.
But there's a narrative now taking hold in the German public, and I don't see it going away, and I see it being a threat to his position, no matter whether it's merited.
Not to mention whatever things really went on behind the scenes.
In light of the outright, rather baffling Eklat that happened here with Flick, who after all must be considered a valuable asset for the club, there are question marks flying through the landscape like tornadoes, regarding everyone but especially Brazzo.
But I'm completely at a loss as to how things could escalate like that.
And don't forget, the whole leadership universe and its gravitational field at Bayern is in massive flux at this moment.

I hope that Lahm never becomes so much as greenkeeper at Bayern. Thoroughly obnoxious person.
That reads so impersonal, I find it hard to believe he wrote that. But then again it's not a well written article either and I think a journalist would have done better..https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ll-philipp-lahm-bayern-munich-manchester-city

Have you ever taken a look at his social media? PR speak zombie horror.That reads so impersonal, I find it hard to believe he wrote that. But then again it's not a well written article either and I think a journalist would have done better..
"Even Jérôme Boateng has said Guardiola taught him pivotal lessons". What's that supposed to mean?
That's how it went, isn't it? Horrible. I'm a paying subscriber, but this is obnoxious.So City bought a Guardian propaganda piece who in turn bought Philipp Lahm's signature? "wunderkinds"... looks like he didn't even gloss over what they published under his name.
Yeah I'm not sure how that happens, but come to think of it, I can sort of imagine Lahm sitting down writing an article like that. It reads like a school essay: Why Guardiola is the best manager.Have you ever taken a look at his social media? PR speak zombie horror.
I never quite know how these kind of articles come to being, I guess some ghost writing jounalist, or PR assistant, (boundaries are blurring), interviews him and writes it up? I find it hard to imagine Lahm sitting down and typing it. And I'm a huge fan of Pep's time at Bayern, overall, myself, so it's not that I disagree with praising him.
edit:

Who would have been your choice as the successor to Flick?This will backfire on them, from Flick to Nagelsmann, just like Pep replacing Heynckes was not an actual improvement. Can't see Nagelsmann winning a Sextuple.
In any event, Bayern M. has cannibalized the Bundesliga once again. Joke of a league. I'm amazed Floren even handpicked Dortmund for the Superliga.
One of the best and most reliable players ever. Obviously also a good diplomat behind the scenes, but also one of the most boring players ever. Kinda strange when you think about it.Who can forget his punditry during the last World Cup, sitting on a couch by the Tegernsee? There's bland, then there is Philipp Lahm. I will always give him credit though for being one of the very few footballers at the highest level who wouldn't exaggerate fouls or constantly be in the referee's ear. He really was a model professional.
