Thomas Tuchel's future as FC Bayern coach is uncertain.
According to a report from Italy, the Munich team is said to have already contacted Zinedine Zidane.
Munich – That would be a real hammer on the coaching bench at FC Bayern: Zinedine Zidane is considered a potential successor to Thomas Tuchel.
According to a report from the usually well-informed Italian sports newspaper
Corriero Dello Sport,
there has already been contact from Bayern.
FC Bayern has apparently already made contact with Zidane
Accordingly, the Bayern bosses are in contact with Zidane and can well imagine the Frenchman being involved at Säbener Straße.
According to the report, those responsible contacted Zidane before the 0-1 defeat in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Lazio.
The paper left it open as to whether the discussions have already progressed.
And it is also not known whether Zidane would be interested in the coaching position at all.
According to
Sportbild,
the three-time world footballer's involvement in Munich is out of the question because he wants to coach a club whose language he speaks.
That would mean FC Bayern are out because Zidane doesn't speak German.

Zidane as a coach with Real Champions League winners three times
The last time Zidane was on the sidelines as Real Madrid coach was over two years ago.
He left Los Blancos at the end of the 2020/2021 season and has been unemployed since then.
However, his name was repeatedly associated with various top European clubs such as Juventus Turin and Paris St. Germain.
No wonder, because during his first term in Madrid he achieved historic things as a coach: in 2016, 2017 and 2018 he led Real to three consecutive Champions League titles.
Never before has a team been able to successfully defend their title in the premier class.
In addition to the three Champions League titles, he also won two championships during his two terms in office.

Will Zidane follow Thomas Tuchel at FC Bayern?
At FC Bayern, Zidane could be the successor to Thomas Tuchel, who is heavily criticized after the 2-3 defeat in Bochum and thus his third competitive defeat in a row.
Although CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen wants to hold on to Tuchel, if there are further defeats, a separation from Tuchel seems to be only a matter of time.
Zidane is another prominent name on the list of potential successors.
Hansi Flick's name is also mentioned again and again in this context.
Uli Hoeneß's opinion will also play an important role in a possible Flick return to Säbener Straße.
