Xabi Alonso is the number one coaching candidate at FC Bayern.
But what if he cancels?
Max Eberl is already working on Plan B.
Munich – Max Eberl’s term at the German record champions officially begins on Friday (March 1st).
But FC Bayern has probably been present in the head of the busy manager for a long time.
Because his appointment to the Bayern board was only a formality, Eberl was able to prepare for his involvement in Munich.
This preparation won't do him any harm - after all, the successful Gladbach architect has a lot of work ahead of him.
Above all, the first priority is to hire a new coach.
Xabi Alonso is considered Munich's favorite and preferred candidate.
However, signing the Spaniard will by no means be a sure-fire success.
Max Eberl sees major tasks ahead of him.

FC Bayern looking for a coach: Eberl's first baptism of fire
The reasons are quickly listed: With FC Liverpool and Real Madrid, FC Bayern has more than just well-known competitors, and it is also unlikely that Alonso will continue in his comfortable Leverkusen environment.
And: According to tz
information , Alonso has
no interest in the Bayern chaos.
Since Pep Guardiola, no coach has lasted longer than two years at Säbener Straße.
In short: Eberl has to deal with the “Koan Alonso” scenario now.
As
Sport Bild
reports, Eberl is already working on a plan B if the Alonso deal doesn't work out.
Accordingly, the new FCB boss will sit down with those responsible as soon as possible and draw up a list of candidates.
If the Bayern deal with Alonso fails: Eberl is working on Plan B
In addition to Alonso, Sebastian Hoeneß should have a good chance of getting the Bayern job.
Uli Hoeneß's nephew is doing good work in Stuttgart and has the smell of a stable.
Zinedine Zidane should also play a role in the Bayern bosses' considerations.
The Frenchman recently spoke about his future plans.

President Herbert Hainer expressly left the door open for a foreign coach: “Not speaking German is not an exclusion criterion for us,” he said.
Eberl specified: If not German, the trainer should at least speak English.
Nagelsmann return to FC Bayern?
Starting point tricky
Julian Nagelsmann speaks both languages and is said to be fundamentally not averse to a Bayern comeback.
What makes this difficult, however, is the initial situation: If Nagelsmann fails at the home European Championship, he cannot be hired as Bayern coach.
If he is successful, he could only start in mid to late July in Munich - where preparations for the new season have already been underway for a long time.
