5 Bayern Munich players who could be saved by a Hansi Flick return

Bayern Munich still have an opening for a new manager, as Thomas Tuchel will step down at the end of the season after a tumultuous tenure at the club, brief as it has been. With Xabi Alonso staying with Bayer Leverkusen and the other manager options seemingly uninterested in Bayern Munich, the Reds have recently become more intrigued by the idea of "running it back" with Hansi Flick. The popular German coach won the treble in the 2019/20 season, dominating the landscape of European football with a smashmouth, aggressive attacking style that made full use of the unique gifts of his players, particularly the forwards. If Flick were to return after leaving under bizarre circumstances, a number of players would more than welcome him back, even if some of them didn't necessarily play t...

A Theo Hernandez to Bayern Munich transfer hinges on two things

Bayern Munich made it to the Champions League semifinals and were a controversial call away from potentially reaching Thomas Tuchel's third career final. However, the season will end in bitterness and no trophies, as Xabi Alonso's beloved underdogs Bayer Leverkusen have long since secured the Bundesliga. A summer of changes will take place for Bayern Munich, and the manager's seat won't be the only place where Die Roten will welcome a new face to replace Tuchel. According to a report from Sky Sports Germany, Bayern Munich remain in talks to sign AC Milan star Theo Hernandez - the brother of former Bayern star Lucas Hernandez - and the left back does want to join Die Roten. However, a Theo Hernandez signing would be contingent on current starting left back Alphonso Davies leavin...

The only way Bayern Munich actually hire Erik ten Hag

Bayern Munich fans are probably miffed and confused as to why their beloved club have been linked with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, who could very well fail to qualify for any sort of European football this season. If Thomas Tuchel, a former Champions League winner, was ultimately pushed out of Bavaria because his attitude rubbed people the wrong way, then what are Bayern Munich going to think of Ten Hag? The former Ajax manager hasn't won any major trophies in a top five league, he bitterly clashed with Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo, and he pushed Jadon Sancho out the door only to watch the superstar winger carve it up on a global stage in the Champions League semifinals. It appears Erik ten Hag, unsurprisingly, may not be as big of a Bayern Munich target ...

Real Madrid fans will appreciate Vinicius Jr. channeling Sergio Ramos by trolling Joshua Kimmich to waste time

Vinicius Junior was the clear standout on the pitch for Real Madrid in their 2-1 Champions League semifinal Remontada against European Clasico rivals Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu. The match had it all from wonderful individual play, incredible Manuel Neuer saves, masterful Carlo Ancelotti managing, heroics from an unlikely source in Joselu, and some late-game controversy courtesy of the referees. There were so many forgotten highlights within the match, too, including a moment from Vinicius Junior that didn't have to do with his relentless dribbling against Bayern Munich stars Joshua Kimmich and Matthijs de Ligt. In this case, Vinicius Jr. trolled the living daylights out of Kimmich - a known troll himself - to shave valuable moments off the clock for Real Madrid. htt...

Bayern Munich fans enraged after refs gift Champions League Final to Real Madrid

As expected, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich played out a Champions League semifinal for the ages. After an even first leg that ended up 2-2 at the Allianz Arena, it looked like Bayern would pull off a win at the Santiago Bernabeu and reach Thomas Tuchel's third career Champions League Final. Instead, Tuchel will end his only full season at Bayern Munich with no Bundesliga title and no chance at redemption in the Champions League. That's partially thanks to Real Madrid super-sub Joselu, who affirmed he is one of the most underrated players in world football with a poacher's brace to lift his childhood club to another improbable late-game Remontada at the Bernabeu on a Champions League night. But unfortunately for Bayern Munich and the wider footballing discourse, it's also partially...

Transfer Rumors: The top 3 manager candidates for Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich are still on the hunt for a new manager to replace Thomas Tuchel at the end of the 2023/24 Bundesliga season, even though the German coach has Die Roten on the cusp of a potential Champions League Final return. So much has happened between Tuchel and the club that it looks like the former Borussia Dortmund manager will be the latest great coach from the country to be pushed out the door, just like Julian Nagelsmann and Hansi Flick inexplicably were. Interestingly enough, Flick looks like one of the chief candidates to replace Tuchel as Bayern Munich coach for the 2024/25 Bundesliga season, as he is one of the three reported top possibilities for Max Eberl and Co. According to a report from BILD, the others are Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and Brighton coach...

Transfer Rumors: Two more bizarre names linked to Bayern Munich job

Bayern Munich are catching rejections from managers left and right. It all started when Xabi Alonso spurned Bayern to stay at Bayer Leverkusen, the new Bundesliga champions. That wasn't so bad, though, because Alonso also rejected the opportunity to replace Jurgen Klopp and another one of his former clubs in Liverpool. Plus, besides coaching Leverkusen in the Champions League next season, Alonso may also have a long-term view on coaching Real Madrid with the likes of Jude Bellingham, Endrick, Vinicius Junior, and Kylian Mbappe. It is one thing to be rejected by Alonso, but it is another to be rejected by Ralf Rangnick and Julen Lopetegui. It seems like every well-known manager is turning their back on Bayern Munich, perhaps scared off by how great managers like Thomas Tuchel, Juli...

Transfer Rumors: Manchester United, Bayern Munich could swap managers

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel will leave the club at the end of the season despite taking Die Roten back to the Champions League semifinals, and Manchester United appear to be his preferred next destination. As for Manchester United, there remains the possibility of the club moving on from Erik ten Hag, even if recent reports have indicated that INEOS are more sympathetic to the Dutch manager than the fans or the media. While Tuchel and Man United are linked to each other, ten Hag has also been linked to the Bayern Munich job, with the Bundesliga powerhouse evidently bigger fans of ten Hag than just about anyone else. According to a report from Kicker, because Thomas Tuchel is the main candidate to take over at Manchester United for Erik ten Hag and ten Hag himself is in the...

Explaining why Bayern Munich want to hire Erik ten Hag despite massive criticism

Bayern Munich are in the market for a new manager, as Thomas Tuchel will be stepping down at the end of the 2023/24 season and has no interest in anybody changing his mind, even if Die Roten were to win the Champions League. Tuchel and the board have reached the point of no return due to a barrage of criticism, including public remarks from Uli Hoeneß that the controversial Bayern Munich legend has been unwilling to walk back. When it comes to searching for a replacement, Bayern Munich still have a number of options despite Xabi Alonso's rejection and Zinedine Zidane's continued lack of interest in the position. The most surprising candidate is Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag, whose future at Old Trafford may actually be safe despite massive internal criticism, especially fro...

The two smart reasons why Unai Emery rejected Bayern Munich

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is one of the most respected names in world football right now, which is a huge departure from the largely unfair derision he received during his tenure as Arsenal manager. Now, nobody is laughing at the master of the Europa League, because, soon, he will be back in the Champions League, with Aston Villa currently in command of fourth place. Emery has become one of the most coveted managers among the elite clubs, but with Aston Villa on the cusp of the Champions League, the Lions are already in the upper echelon themselves under the Spanish manager. Bayern Munich are after a top manager with Thomas Tuchel set to leave the club at the end of the season. Unai Emery already signed an extension with Aston Villa to take himself off the open market, but, b...
