Bayern Munich to Announce New Coach within a WeekBayern Munich to Announce New Coach within a Week Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness has hinted that the club will make a decision on a new head coach to replace Thomas Tuchel within the next week. Tuchel, who has been at the helm since 2018, will step down at the end of the season following Bayern’s failure to retain the Bundesliga title, which went to Bayer Leverkusen. The team is currently preparing to face Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League. “I think we will make a decision within a week,” Hoeness said in comments reported by Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Bayern has reportedly missed out on appointments with Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso and Germany’s Julian Nagelsmann, who chose to stay with their respective teams. However, Manchester United’s former interim coach, Ralf Rangnick, has confirmed that he has been in contact with Bayern. Hoeness did not provide any further details on the potential candidates, but the club is likely to be seeking a high-profile appointment that can restore its dominance in both the Bundesliga and Europe.
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness expects a decision on a new coach to replace Thomas Tuchel within a week.
Tuchel will leave at the end of the season after Bayern lost the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen. Next week, the team will face Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
“I think we will make a decision within a week,” Hoeness said Friday in comments reported by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
Since Tuchel’s departure was announced in February, Bayern have missed out on the arrivals of Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso and Germany’s Julian Nagelsmann, who both opted to stay with their teams. Since then, Austrian coach Ralf Rangnick, formerly of Manchester United, has said he has been in contact with Bayern.
