FC Bayern Munich has found its new coach.
Julian Nagelsmann does it - one could well have imagined Ralph Hasenhüttl at FCB.
Update from April 30, 6:54 a.m.:
Julian Nagelsmann will be the coach of FC Bayern Munich for the coming season.
With that, the favorite for the Flick successor finally prevailed - albeit at a high price.
The record champions are transferring a world record fee to Leipzig, around 20 million euros are under discussion.
In addition to Nagelsmann, there were a few other prominent names that one could have imagined on the sidelines of FCB. Among other things, Ralph Hasenhüttl (see first report from April 14th). After all, the Austrian still knows Bayern well from his playing days as a player, after which he worked successfully in the Bundesliga as a coach for Ingolstadt and Leipzig. The 53-year-old, currently active in the Premier League at Southampton FC, surprisingly let it be known that his career may soon be over: “I don't see many scenarios in which I can use this three-year contract, which I still have here, for anything I give something else, "he said in an interview with
Sky
.
After the end of the contract, he was 57 years old.
"At some point I will ask myself the question, and I mean it in all seriousness, whether I want to do anything afterwards," says the native of Graz.
“You do without a lot, and it also costs an incredible amount of energy.
I don't know what will happen after that yet.
But it may well be that I might let it be. ”Hasenhüttl has been with the Saints since December 2018 and is still under contract there until summer 2024.
Hansi Flick: Who could be his successor as Bayern coach?
Spectacular list of candidates
Update from April 17, 5.45 p.m.:
Now it's official!
Hansi Flick has informed FC Bayern that he would like to terminate his contract in the summer.
So far there has been no official statement from the club, but it is now as good as impossible that Flick will also sit on the FCB bench in the coming season.
First report from April 14th:
Munich - German champions, Champions League winners, DFB Cup winners, winners of the FIFA Club World Cup.
In his tenure at FC Bayern *, which has not even been two years, Hansi Flick can look back on a bulging title showcase.
So why shouldn't such a successful coach stay in office for the long term?
Now football in itself is a fast-moving business.
But only because of the unfortunate cup elimination against Holstein Kiel and the bitter end in the premier class in the quarter-finals against Paris Saint-Germain, Flick will probably not have reached the point where he is now.
In a remarkable and almost five-minute monologue, the FCB coach had
expressed his mental conflict
on Tuesday evening at
Sky
.
“In general, you always think about it,” said the 56-year-old after leaving Paris: “My family - no matter what I would do - they would always support me and stand behind me.
Whether I am with the DFB now, maybe had a different rhythm - that doesn't matter to them ”.
Bayern: Flick successor?
This coach could follow the triple coach
It was the first time that Flick used the word "DFB" in this context.
A tendency should also be clearly recognizable among the Bayern bosses.
When Joachim Löw leaves his post as national coach after the EM 2021, Flick can very well imagine following in his footsteps.
In addition, according to
kicker
, the triple coach
also has several inquiries from top European clubs.
So it would not be a big surprise if Flick, after all the discrepancies and the dispute with sports director Hasan Salihamidzic that has become public, terminates his contract on Säbener Strasse after this season and then starts working in the Otto-Fleck-Schneise in Frankfurt from autumn.
But who will then be a coach at Bayern?
A list of possible candidates to succeed Hansi Flick as FCB coach.
Julian Nagelsmann (RB Leipzig)
For five years, the only 33-year-old has been traded as a future Bayern coach.
Even before and after Niko Kovac *, the name Nagelsmann was mentioned on Säbener Straße * It would be astonishing if the greatest coaching talent should not really sit on the bench of FC Bayern at some point.
Not in the near future, however.
“There have been and there are no talks,” said the RB Leipzig * coach on Wednesday when asked whether Lothar Matthäus' statements that Bayern had already spoken to him would be true: “This of course also applies to my advisors.
You are not self-sufficient, but do things that I specify.
Accordingly, there were no discussions there either. ”Nagelsmann is still contractually bound to RB until 2023.
Technically, Nagelsmann is beyond any doubt.
It is questionable, however, whether the shark tank FCB will not come a little too early for him.
Especially since the native Landsberger could still be a trainer on Säbener Straße in ten years.
Probability: 20 percent
Ralph Hasenhüttl (Southampton FC)
Table 14th Coach
from the Premier League is no stranger to Bayern.
From 2002 to 2004 the Austrian laced his shoes for the FCB amateurs before embarking on a career as a coach.
Before joining FC Southampton, Hasenhüttl coached SpVgg Unterhaching and RB Leipzig, among others.
In terms of game philosophy, he would be a good match for FC Bayern, but his personal letterhead is not yet adequately decorated.
In addition, the 53-year-old has a long-term contract with Southampton (until 2024).
Probability: 15 percent
Xabi Alonso (Real Sociedad San Sebastian B)
The ex-FCB legend was already a very hot candidate at Borussia Mönchengladbach, but they then decide for Adi Hütter from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Alonso is currently training the second team at Real Sociedad San Sebastian, where he recently extended his expiring contract by a year until 2022.
Now, not just since Hansi Flick, we have known that contracts don't necessarily mean something.
However, it is questionable whether Alonso trusts FC Bayern right away - and whether the FCB bosses trust the 40-year-old Basque directly to FCB.
Rather not.
Probability: 10 percent
Oliver Glasner (VfL Wolfsburg)
The coach of VfL Wolfsburg was probably one of the first to find out about Flick's plans, as Glasner said they were sitting together with a glass of beer on Friday evening before the game.
Did the FCB coach make the job attractive to the Austrian?
Glasner does an excellent job with the Wolves and in recent years has turned a relegation candidate into a top team.
Unfortunately, Glasner does not have an international reputation, which is almost necessary at Bayern.
Probability: 10 percent
Joachim Löw (national coach)
Is there a spectacular exchange between the DFB and FCB?
Flick becomes the new national coach and Löw takes over FC Bayern!
Hard to imagine, at least the latter.
Because Löw has already announced that he will only start thinking about his future after the EM.
The Munich team would need a possible successor for Flick before the summer.
Also: Löw at Bayern?
The media hype and the hectic environment are probably nothing for the still-national coach that he imagines for his commitment in his early retirement.
Probability: 5 percent
Jose Mourinho (Tottenham Hotspur)
That would at least be a media festival: “The Special One” at the Special Club!
Jose Mourinho on Säbener Straße and FC Hollywood in the 90s would have touched Ringelpietz.
The Portuguese is currently training the Spurs, but is a little criticized there after poor performance recently.
Mourinho would definitely be a big name, but would he “submit” to the alpha animals Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic?
You can see from the current example of Flick how much participation the coach at FC Bayern has.
Mourinho doesn't know that from the island, the coach is also the sports director there.
With Mou, Brazzo would probably also take his ego back a little ...
Probability: 15 percent
Thomas Tuchel (Chelsea FC)
The ex-BVB coach has also been traded at Bayern several times.
Thomas Tuchel * recently took over the Blues and is with them in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Probability: 5 percent
Jürgen Klopp (Liverpool FC)
Probably every FCB fan would be happy about Kloppo as Bayern coach.
At some point this may also be possible.
But not this summer.
Probability: 5 percent.
Jesse Marsch (RB Salzburg)
The US boy would be an interesting hipster solution.
Get it quickly before everyone thinks it's cool.
The current coach of RB Salzburg lets the desired power football play and is very well received by the players with his casual manner.
But does that fit with FC Bayern?
Plus point: Marsch would not argue with the FCB grandees about the formation of the squad and the right to veto transfers.
And his contract in Salzburg expires in 2022.
Probability: 15 percent
Miro Klose (assistant coach FC Bayern)
The World Cup record scorer is just taking his first steps in his coaching career.
Klose has already been successful in the youth field at FC Bayern, which is why Flick brought him into his coaching team.
That is where the big problem lies.
Should Flick go to the DFB, Klose should follow him.
In 2014 they won the World Cup together in Brazil and get along very well off the field as well.
It is quite possible that Klose will one day become head coach at FC Bayern, but not yet.
Probability: 10 percent
Massimiliano Allegri (without association)
FC Bayern has had experiences with foreign coaches in recent years.
Carlo Ancelotti and his Dolce Vita training methods were not particularly well received by the dogged FCB stars.
Allegri is a different type, but his knowledge of German is probably also rather manageable.
Probability: 5 percent
Arsene Wenger (without a club)
The gentlemanly solution?
The 71-year-old would be the French answer to Jupp Heynckes.
The ex-Arsenal coach speaks fluent German, the FCB kickers would respect him because of his international reputation, but would Wenger at his age feel like Bayern again?
Difficult to imagine.
Probability: 5 percent
Lothar Matthäus (Sky Expert)
Shouldn't even become a greenkeeper on Säbener Straße, he is now even being acted as a national coach.
Now does
his job as a
Sky
expert really well. But Lothar Matthäus in the coaching bench at Bayern? Ask Uli Hoeneß this question.
Probability: 5 percent
