Three consecutive defeats, including a 3-0 thrashing against Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and a 1-0 loss to Lazio in the Champions League, have plunged Bayern Munich into crisis. The club is struggling to perform and Thomas Tuchel’s position is becoming untenable. According to German media outlets Sky Sport and Bild, the former PSG coach is expected to be sacked at the end of the current season.
Tuchel is reportedly on his way out of Bayern Munich.
At the British bookmakers, Jose Mourinho is the current favorite at odds of 1.5. With experience in managing big stars and available on a free transfer after his dismissal from Roma a few weeks ago, Mourinho still has some credit, even though it has been dented by his many career setbacks (which somewhat overshadow his many successes).
Hansi Flick is the next option. Former Bayern treble winner, he is currently unemployed after being sacked by Germany last year. His odds are 1.75. Zinedine Zidane, whose name has been circulating in Bavaria, is an option for the bookmakers, but he is a long shot. As for the possibility of Jürgen Klopp taking over as Bayern coach after his announced departure from Liverpool, that is even more unlikely.
Who will replace Tuchel at Bayern Munich according to the bookmakers:
Jose Mourinho = odds à 1,5
Hansi Flick = 1,75
Ruben Amorin = 2,5
Xabi Alonso = 3,5
Roberto De Zerbi = 4,5
Zinedine Zidane = 6
Michel Sanchez = 7
Antonio Conte = 8
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer = 10
