Zinedine Zidane is considered a possible successor to Tuchel at FC Bayern.
The Real Madrid legend is said to be fundamentally not averse.
Munich – As a player, Zinedine Zidane enchanted the masses and shaped his time like no other.
The Frenchman also impressed as a coach, winning the Champions League three times in a row with Real Madrid.
FC Bayern: Zinedine Zidane an issue at FC Bayern?
Due to his vita and charisma, it is only logical that Zidane's name is now associated with FC Bayern in the media.
Finally, current coach Thomas Tuchel is leaving at the end of the season and a successor has not yet been presented.
But is the former world-class midfielder even interested in joining the German record champions?
Both parties are said to have at least already had initial discussions.
According to an unnamed confidant cited by Sport1, this is certainly the case.
The FCB is therefore one of three options.
Zinedine Zidane is always associated with FC Bayern Munich.

FC Bayern is probably one of three options for Zinedine Zidane
“The only option for him is the French national team, plus Juventus Turin and Bayern.
But he definitely doesn’t want to go to England, that’s for sure,” the insider is quoted as saying.
As things stand (February 24), the Bayern job is the only one of the three that will be available in the summer.
At the current Italian second-placed team, where “Zizou” played from 1996 to 2001, Massimiliano Allegri still has a contract until the end of the 2024/25 season.
And successful coach Didier Deschamps is firmly in the saddle at the “Equipe Tricolore” and his contract runs until summer 2026.
But why should Zidane even consider a move to Munich?
“Zinedine sees FC Bayern like Real Madrid: an institution as a club with a huge past and great working conditions.
Both clubs have many similarities in the way they work.
In this respect, the German record champions were a topic that he never rejected,” explains the confidant.

FC Bayern: Zinedine Zidane “would certainly fit in well there”
Purely in terms of his way of working, Zidane's companion in Munich can be imagined: “He works like a German: goal-oriented, structured and he is extremely obsessed with details.
In that respect, he would certainly fit in well there.”
In order to lure Zidane to the Isar, the FCB bosses would apparently have to make compromises: “But if those in charge in Munich want to get him, they have to give him the sporting power and fulfill his wishes.
He is very ambitious and subordinates everything to success.
He doesn’t want to leave anything to chance.”
tz.de readers can definitely imagine Zidane at FC Bayern
A takeover during the season is definitely not an issue for Zidane, but in principle the 1998 world champion can hardly expect to take on a coaching position again: "He's on fire like never before." Should there actually be a duel between FCB and Juve In the courtship for Zidane, the top Italian club would probably have the better cards - although Zidane was already enthusiastic about the Munich team a few years ago.
“If Juventus asked him, he would walk there.
But the FC Bayern project will be the most important thing to him and certainly not the financial aspect.
And he would be the ideal coach to polish up FC Bayern's image again and perhaps ensure a certain continuity on the Bayern bench," explains the confidant.
By the way: Zidane would also

Only one other coach finished ahead of him in the vote on Tuchel's successor.
