I'd say there's a fair argument that Bayern haven't been quite where they want to be last few seasons? Particularly in Europe.
They reached their peak under Heynckes and maintained that under Pep. They are slowly but continuously getting worse (with the exception of Flick's purple patch). The current squad is the weakest Bayern had in a long time and so far their search for a new manager doesn't look like a great job - on the contrary, every favourite candidate so far went public and made a point of staying were he is (Alonso, Nagelsmann, Hoeneß, even Rangnick already did it a few weeks ago, but the situation might change there if Bayern can't get their favoured choices).
They've became complacent since winning that treble during 19/20. They have spent a lot of money on players and haven't gotten close to winning another CL since it. Semi-finalists this season, to be fair to them.
Who is that guy? Never heard of him.
Exactly. I think with Freund and Eberl the press is left fishing in the dark. As a consequence various names (Zidane, Emery, Rangnick or even Demichaelis and Lucien Favre for 1 year and then Klopp) are discussed.
…Not that smug asshole…
He was interim manager at United for half a season. Probably the worst manager we ever had, until this season.
Good one.
Let's have a look at the rumoured candidates/favourites and what they did after they were first mentioned as candidates
The couldn't wait for Ten Hag to become available, or perhaps weren't willing to compete with Barcelona and Liverpool for his signature.
Isn't Heynckes still alive?
But the one we dont deserveThe hero we all need
Pretty sure Hoeneß extending his contract wont mean much if Bayern is willing to pay for his services. Unless in Germany managers really honor their professional contracts as culture.
One would hope the managerial genius that is ETH will be on their list seeing that he has one year left and by all account we have not committed to him but no, they are not linked.
"Most fans?" You have a source for that?
Surely if you did a poll of Ragnick vs Murtough for DoF, it would be close to 100% for Ragnick? Unless you believe otherwise?
Except it works for Bayern and everyone else.
We havent actually prove him wrong. His assesment while brutal looks bang on
My point exactly
Agreed, we should've given Ron Atkinson more time

I don't know what was wrong with Sexton
I'd heard Bayern were in a bit of turmoil recently. But I hadn't quite realized just how desperate things had gotten.
It really doesnt. Chelsea have had several car crash managers for example, and bayerns league dominance isnt a good comparison with how it would work elsewhere. Plenty of big clubs change manager often and its a disaster under some. There are countless examples. In any case, Im not making an argument for blindly sticking with a manager - Im just tired of how extreme people will go in their criticism of a manager as if it's incomprehensible they are our manager. Solskjaer was a PE teacher, Rangnick wasnt even a coach, now Ten Hag is the latest 'fraud.' Only now Bayern Munich want Rangnick and hes doing a great job with austria, and Ten Hag would absolutely be wanted by some big teams should he leave here. I dont like how people let their frustrations become so focused on one individual, sometimes to the point of real bitterness/hatred, whoever it may be, especially when weve done this over and over again.
think youve quoted the wrong post?
Good talk Ralf. Bye
As far as I can remember there were statements that English would be sufficient since the whole squad speaks it anyways. Hence the question if Zidane speaks it.
...right, right.
Probably knows how to properly comunicate in english, but not his confort zone clearly. He answered a few questions in english on the Champions League pre-match / post-match, so should be enough to comunicate.
Well well that looks like failed join interview.
Happened even earlier than I anticipated
Yes but so far I have seen no serious rumours about him, so he didn't qualify for my list here.
