Bayern Munich Seeking New Manager
Former Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick is reportedly being considered for the Bayern Munich job as the German giants search for a new head coach following Thomas Tuchel's departure at the end of the season.
Xabi Alonso – First Choice for Bayern
Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso is Bayern's top choice for the position, with his team performing well in various competitions this season. However, Liverpool is also eyeing Alonso as a replacement for Jurgen Klopp.
Rangnick as a Second Alternative
If Bayern fails to secure Alonso, they may turn to Rangnick as their "second alternative," given his strong relationship with the club's sporting director Christoph Freund.
Rangnick's Credentials
Rangnick, who currently leads the Austrian national team and will manage them at Euro 2024, boasts significant Bundesliga experience from his time at various German clubs. He also had a brief stint as interim manager at Manchester United during the 2021/22 season.
United's Tough Season under Rangnick
During his tenure at Man Utd, Rangnick led the team to their lowest-ever Premier League points total of 58. After 29 games in charge, he departed from his managerial role but continued as a consultant for the club.
