Who will coach Kim Min-jae (28, Munich) as the next Munich coach?
Zinedine Zidane (52), who is on the shortlist for the Munich job, has denied reports of contact with the club. According to ESPN, Zidane's acquaintance said that "Munich have not contacted him since Thomas Tuchel's sacking was confirmed".
Zidane, who won three Champions League titles with Real Madrid, has been touted as the top candidate for the job by several top clubs. According to sources, Roberto De Zerbi, Ralf Rangnick, and Sebastian Hoeness are among the names on the shortlist for Munich's next manager. That includes Zidane.
The language barrier is one of the reasons why Zidane is unsure about the Munich job. Zidane reportedly doesn"t speak German and English perfectly. For a man who believes that communication and player management are important, the German team doesn"t appeal to him.
Munich also lost Julian Nagelsmann, who was considered a top priority. Nagelsmann was initially handed the baton by Hanji Flick after he was sacked by Bayern Munich in September last year. He was only supposed to be in charge of the German national team until Euro 2024. Bayern Munich had also put Nagelsmann on the list for reappointment just a year after his dismissal.
However, Germany's recent run of form, 안전놀이터 which included sweeping wins over France and the Netherlands, changed that, and the German Football Association moved quickly to keep Nagelsmann on board.
"Head coach Julian Nagelsmann (37) has agreed to extend his contract beyond Euro 2024 until 2026," the German Football Association announced on Monday.
Bayern Munich's pursuit of Nagelsmann was like watching a dog on the roof while chasing chickens. Nagelsmann's re-signing forced the Bavarians to start looking at other coaches. After announcing the firing of Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season, the Bavarians are in urgent need of a new coach.
