According to German outlet TZ, Ralf Rangnick has emerged as a leading candidate to replace Thomas Tuchel as the manager of Bayern Munich. Tuchel is set to depart the Allianz Arena this summer after a disappointing season in which Bayern failed to win any major trophies. The German giants lost the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen earlier this month, ending their 12-year reign atop the German football pyramid.
Rangnick, who is currently in charge of the Austria national team, has a wealth of experience in club management. He has previously managed Stuttgart, Schalke, and RB Leipzig. He was appointed as Manchester United’s interim manager in November 2021 following the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Rangnick won 11 of his 29 games in charge of United, but the club finished the season in sixth place in the Premier League. If Rangnick takes over at Bayern, he will be tasked with rebuilding the team and restoring them to their former glory.
Bayern Munich has been one of the most successful clubs in Europe over the past decade, winning the Bundesliga nine times and the Champions League twice. However, they have struggled to maintain their dominance this season, and Tuchel’s departure will only add to the uncertainty surrounding the club. Rangnick is a highly respected coach with a proven track record of success. If he can replicate his success at Bayern, he could help the club return to the summit of European football.
