Who will be FC Bayern’s new coach? TV pundit Dietmar Hamann believes that Julian Nagelsmann is currently ahead.
According to ex-Bayern professional Dietmar Hamann, Julian Nagelsmann is currently the top favourite to become the new coach at the German record champions.
TV pundit Hamann said on Sky about the rumours surrounding a possible return of the current national team coach: „From what I hear, that seems to be the most likely solution at the moment.“
Nagelsmann would thus inherit his own successor in Munich: The 36-year-old was released in March 2023 and FCB subsequently signed Thomas Tuchel. He has to step down at the end of the season. Bayern bosses are now looking for the next Bayern coach.
Freund: „I have a lot of faith in Julian“
On the fringes of Bayern’s embarrassing 3:2 defeat at newly promoted Heidenheim, sporting director Christoph Freund also commented on the status of the coaching search.
„The most important thing is to do the right thing, not the quickest thing,“ explained Freund on the Sky microphone: „But we won’t take forever. We will make a decision in the next few weeks.“
The Austrian continued: „We are in talks. It’s a very important decision. We want to find a coach who we can work with for longer than we have recently.“
Asked about Nagelsmann, Freund said: „Julian has been here before, it’s a special situation. We want to find the best person with whom we have the best feeling.“
He added: „I have a lot of faith in Julian. But there are also other coaches who I trust. It’s important to do the right thing.“
Other candidates alongside Nagelsmann currently include Roberto De Zerbi from Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Premier League and the current Austrian national team coach Ralf Rangnick.
