After no to Pochettino: Now there is obviously another favorite as Bayern coach

FC Bayern Munich is said to have decided against Mauricio Pochettino in the coaching question. Now there is obviously a new favorite.

• Hansi Flick remains head coach of FC Bayern at least until Christmas.
• Erik ten Hag is considered a promising candidate for the top post.
• Bayern allegedly decided against Mauricio Pochettino .

Update from February 25, 2020: Hansi Flick currently has the reins firmly in hand at FCB . It works in the Bundesliga too. But with the example of Niko Kovac you can see: A bad appearance in the Champions League, for example in the game against Chelsea, can mean a turning point in Munich. It is therefore far from certain that Flick will be the trainer at FCB beyond the summer.

Then the question arises who those responsible for the association want and can get. A hot candidate, even when Kovac was gone, was Eric ten Hag. And the chances of FCB bringing the current Ajax coach to Munich don't seem to be bad - if they want to. "If Bayern asks him, he will definitely do it," said Dutch football icon Ruud Gullit to Goal and spox. Gullit explains his view that ten Hag knows FCB from his time as coach of the second team.

At Ajax, ten Hag is currently training a player that FCB should keep an eye on: Sergino Dest. According to Gullit, it would at least be possible for ten Hag to come to FCB and bring the shooting star directly to Munich.

Not when it comes to Sport1 . Erik ten Hag of Ajax Amsterdam remains the preferred candidate for the coming season. The 49-year-old Dutchman, once coach of the second Bayern team, should not be reluctant to return to Munich.

His sports director, ex-professional Marc Overmars, has already said that he will let his coach go when asked by a European football giant. Will Erik ten Hag become Bayern's new coach?

While there is eager speculation and reporting, Bayern's top Bundesliga game in Gladbach is on Saturday.

Update of November 26, 2019: Erik ten Hag from Ajax Amsterdam remains one of the hottest candidates for the coaching position at Bayern Munich . Now it is also clear how the Bayern bosses want to approach coaching.

Hansi Flick will initially remain a coach and not only until Christmas. As Spox and Goal report, the FCB booth is now not planning to change coaches in winter. The large solution is to be worked on in the background.

That means, it's up to the Munich bosses, Erik ten Hag or Thomas Tuchel . Both coaches are still contractually bound, although it would be an upgrade to a top club for the Dutchman who once coached the second team of the Reds. Tuchel is already training a European heavyweight with Paris Saint-Germain. Mauricio Pochettino , on the other hand, is only an outsider candidate.

For Hansi Flick, the away game in the Champions League is at Red Star Belgrade. We report in the live ticker.

FC Bayern: Erik ten Hag is the favorite of an ex-FCB coach

First announcement from November 23, 2019 : Munich - His point average at FC Bayern impressed: In spring 2011, Andries Jonker , as head coach of the record champions, had an average of 2.60 points.

The Dutchman was solely responsible for five Bundesliga games after the dismissal of his boss Louis van Gaal. These included a 5: 1 against Bayer Leverkusen and an 8: 1 against FC St. Pauli. Bayern scored 20: 5 goals, only at Eintracht Frankfurt (1-1) there was "only" a draw.

Bayern: Andries Jonker advises Erik ten Hag

Against that opponent and ex-club, the end of Niko Kovac in Munich was initiated by the 1: 5 earlier this month. The long-term successor of the Croatian coach is still open. How long is Hansi Flick allowed to fill in the executive role? Is Mauricio Pochettino coming? And if so, when?

Jonker, meanwhile coach at SC Telstar in the second Dutch league, has now named his favorite: It is compatriot Erik ten Hag from Ajax Amsterdam.

"Erik ten Hag is not a fool"

“If Flick continues to win, there's no reason to switch in winter. That would only cause unrest, "Jonker said in an interview with Sky and said about ten Hag:" He was in Munich for two years and he is not a fool. I have no doubt that if he gets the opportunity at the end of the season and can say goodbye to Amsterdam with his head held high , he would of course go to Bavaria . Bavaria is so much bigger than Ajax , of course he would do that. "

However, Jonker warned, giving an argument as to why the engagement could not have come about.

“A trainer like him takes time. If he came to Munich, it might not work immediately. Erik's way of playing needs explanation, cooperation and practice: offensive football, pressing in the opposing half, "said the former van Gaal assistant:" This is much more difficult than just ensuring that your team is organized and your individually capable players decide the game. "

"Getting away from Erik ten Hag is definitely more difficult"

The 57-year-old further said that Erik ten Hag came up with the concept, “with Tuchel maybe not a very clear concept, but maybe the success. The way with ten Hag is definitely more difficult. "

What does Jonker mean? “After losing the ball, an attempt is made to quickly recover the ball. There is a lot of movement and pace in the team and a few individually very capable and creative players, "he explained:" They don't play broad and back, but play forward. It's nice to look at, but still sometimes adventurous and naive, like in the Champions League semi-final against Tottenham. ”

When Erik ten Hag lost to Mauricio Pochettino , the other candidate on the coaching job at Bayern . The 49-year-old ten Hag had not only led Ajax to the premier-class semi-final in the previous season, but also to a double in the Netherlands.

Between 2013 and 2015, however, he had coached the record champions second team. He therefore knows his way around Säbener Straße.

Erik ten Hag will stay with Ajax Amsterdam for the time being

The coach recently ruled out a change during the winter break. "I stay because I have a strong connection with the team," said ten Hag.

After the cancellation of Pep Guardiola, the 4-0 in the Bundesliga at Fortuna Düsseldorf and the third win in a row to zero, there is a lot of evidence that Flick may remain Bayern coach until summer.

Although the SSC Napoli won 4-0 against the KRC Genk and thus entered the round of 16 of the Champions League, the Italians fired their coach.

And then? According to Jonker, his compatriot has a good chance of succeeding Kovac after Flick.
