FC Bayern is looking for a successor to Thomas Tuchel.
A former competitor of the Bayern coach is said to be interested in the task.
Munich – “There is a lot for me to do here,” said Max Eberl before the Champions League second leg against Lazio on Tuesday.
FC Bayern's new sports director had only been in office for five days.
In addition to the planned squad shake-up, a new coach is needed in the summer.
Alonso is probably the preferred candidate to succeed Tuchel
By then at the latest, Thomas Tuchel will be history on Säbener Straße.
The preferred candidate to succeed him is probably Xabi Alonso.
According to
Sky
information, there have already been initial discussions, but the Spaniard's move to Munich will definitely not be easy.
Both Alonso himself and his club Bayer Leverkusen would have to agree to a change.
The Spaniard is said to have no release clause in the summer.
At least the negotiations with his current club would be eliminated with another star coach: Antonio Conte.

Antonio Conte is said to be hoping for a job at FC Bayern
The Italian has been without a job since leaving Tottenham Hotspur in March 2023 and is said to be really keen on the job in Munich.
At least that's what the Italian football portal
calciomercato.com
reports .
According to the report, Conte is sure that the current squad fits his playing philosophy perfectly.
The 54-year-old is also well aware that he is not the first choice of the Bayern bosses, but I have no problem with that.
Rather, the Italian is said to have already sent signals to Munich that Tuchel's successor would be an option for him.

Conte and Tuchel with a history
A nice side effect for Conte: If the Italian actually gets the job in Munich, he would one-up his predecessor.
Conte and Tuchel are not considered the best of friends; in August 2022 there was an almost legendary argument between the two.
After a Premier League game, the two coaches shook hands but didn't let go, shouted at each other and ultimately had to be separated.
Afterwards, Conte followed up on
when he commented under a video in which Tuchel was running past him cheering: "Luckily I didn't see you... tripping you up would have been well deserved..." Almost two years later the Italians are now returning the favor… (
