The most important things at a glance
Tuchel: “Nübel was an extremely important building block”
The Bundesliga game between FC Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart is also an exciting goalkeeping duel. In the away game (from 3:30 p.m. in the t-online live ticker), Manuel Neuer will meet the man who could one day succeed him at the German record champions. Nübel is currently playing a key role in Stuttgart’s furious season. “Alexander Nübel was an extremely important building block,” said Munich coach Thomas Tuchel.
“We are very happy about his development and that he was so important for VfB. His achievements are just as impressive as the entire team performance at VfB,” said Tuchel. The Munich team recently extended the contract with the 27-year-old Nübel, which runs until the summer of 2025, by four years until June 30, 2029 and loaned the keeper to the Swabians for two more seasons.
Report: Tuchel’s stay at Bayern is no longer ruled out
Bayern’s search for a coach is going haywire: with Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann and Ralf Rangnick, three coaches have already turned down the German record champions. The people of Munich are slowly running out of options.
According to a report from the TV channel Sky, it is still possible for current coach Thomas Tuchel to stay. Accordingly, those responsible at Bayern are currently examining new and old options such as Brighton coach Roberto de Zerbi and the clubless Julen Lopetegui. Tuchel is also prepared to stay under certain conditions.
For the first time, the Supervisory Board is no longer completely ruling out this option. Sports director Max Eberl and sports director Christoph Freund are also open to the idea. Key players like Manuel Neuer are also supporters of Tuchel. However, the situation is very complicated and a lot has to happen for Tuchel’s stay to actually become a reality. Tuchel has opened the door, it is now up to the Bayern bosses. However, there have not yet been any more concrete actions.
Tuchel’s successor from our own ranks?
After the next coaching candidate, Ralf Rangnick, canceled, those responsible at FC Bayern have to rethink again. Are you now refraining from an external solution and looking for a suitable successor to Tuchel within your own ranks?
Then Holger Seitz, currently coach of Bayern’s second team, might be an option. The 49-year-old has been at the club since 2015, with a few interruptions. Does he have the confidence to get the professionals back on track?
Finally, the ex-professional said: “If I can quote Mr. Eberl, who said that we have already taken a certain direction, then these mental games are unnecessary.” However, that was before Rangnick’s cancellation.
Seitz and the “little” Bayern are currently in sixth place in the Regionalliga South. Since Seitz knows the club very well but has no experience as a professional coach, this option currently seems quite unlikely. But who knows what will happen if other well-known candidates reject the record champions.
Report: Bayern bosses were “out of the clouds” when Rangnick was rejected
Ralf Rangnick’s rejection of the coaching position at FC Bayern apparently came as a surprise to more than just the public. As the “tz” reports, the record champions’ bosses are said to have been “delighted” when they found out about the 65-year-old’s decision on Wednesday. They had firmly assumed that Rangnick would succeed Thomas Tuchel in the summer.
