With Bayern Munich having their worst season in over a decade, the management has been looking for Tuchel’s replacement. Therefore, they announced that this would be Tuchel’s last season as their manager.
Under Tuchel, the team has had a terrible run in the last few months.
Bayern were knocked out of the German Cup by Saarbruecken, a 3rd division team in November. And with 8 games to go, they’re 10 points behind Leverkusen, a team that’s firing on all cylinders this season.
Xabi has done wonders this season and with Leverkusen defeating every team; they have a very low chance of catching up with them. This is the main reason they were considering him as Tuchel’s replacement at the Allianz Arena.
The only hope they have is winning the Champions League, but they are on the toughest side of the draw. They’re to face Arsenal in the quarter-finals and if they win, they’ll then face either Real Madrid or Manchester City.
Bayern Munich: Can Xabi Replace Tuchel at Allianz Arena?
Xabi Alonso was the early frontrunner for Tuchel’s job; in fact, several sources confirmed that he is the team’s top target. Alonso has had an exceptional run and his team remains unbeaten this season in all competitions.
His 38 games unbeaten run has also attracted Liverpool, who may contact him, especially with Klopp retiring.
But according to Fernando Carro, Leverkusen’s director, Xabi will snub Liverpool and Bayern. Plus, his contract with Leverkusen will expire in 2026.
Bayern Munich: Conte Replace Xabi as Tuchel’s Replacement
According to la Repubblica, an Italian outlet, Conte replaced Xabi Alonso as The Bavarian’s top target. The Italian hasn’t coached any team since Tottenham sacked him 17 months ago. Despite his stint in North London, the 54-year-old coach is one of the top managers of his generation.
Conte won the 2017/18 Premier League with Chelsea. He has also won 4 Serie A titles with Inter Milan and Juventus. Bayern contacted him a few months ago and they consider him to be a top coach. The negotiations between them have been going on, but they have not been easy.
Bayern Munich: Possible Reunion Between Conte, Dier, and Kane
A move to the Allianz Arena Tuchel’s replacement will see Conte reunite with Eric Dier and Harry Kane, former Tottenham players. Conte has gotten the best out of Kane before and can do the same in Bayern.
Under Conte, Kane made 14 assists and scored 43 goals in 75 games. But with his current Bayern Munich run, he may surpass this number this season and with fewer games.
