The name Zahavi has been familiar in Munich at least since Lewandowski moved to FC Barcelona.
Now he is apparently acting as a new advisor to a Bayern candidate.
Munich – FC Bayern has been in deep crisis since the 0-1 away defeat against Lazio Rome.
After the defeat against Bayer Leverkusen and the setback in the Champions League round of 16, the record champions are threatened with their first titleless season since 2011/2012.
Thomas Tuchel is heavily criticized and the first successors are already being considered.
However, negotiations with a preferred candidate are likely to be difficult.
Flick with new advisor: Notorious Zahavi manages trainer
Those responsible at Munich are probably concerned with the return of former national coach Hansi Flick.
Recently there was said to have been a clarifying conversation with Bavaria's honorary president Uli Hoeneß.
Now returning is apparently more difficult than expected.
Because Flick has recently had a powerful advisor at his side.
According to SportBild
, the former Bayern coach will be
managed by Pini Zahavi in the future.
The 80-year-old is notorious in the football industry and, among other things, orchestrated Neymar's record deal to Paris Saint-Germain.
With a transfer fee of 222 million euros, the transfer reached new dimensions.
Pini Zahavi is apparently the new advisor to Bayern candidates.

Zahavi and FC Bayern with an explosive history
FC Bayern in particular may not have good memories of Zahavi.
Hoeneß had once
insulted him as a “piranha” in a
one-two match because he didn’t give in to his client David Alaba’s poker game.
Alaba ended up leaving his training club for Real Madrid.
The advisor was recently also the driving force behind Robert Lewandowski's move to FC Barcelona.
Flick has not yet had an advisor, his lawyer Dr.
Christoph Schickhardt only acted as legal counsel.
A very unusual approach for a coach, which is now changing.
