Bayern Munich have reportedly made contact with Brighton and Hove Albion manager, Roberto De Zerbi to become the new gaffer at the Bavaria club.
After choosing to resist the allure of his former club, Xabi Alonso left Bayern in an emotional state of “shock.”
Forcing Liverpool too, to look at other options. Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim now seems to have taken the lead in the managerial shortlist.
According to Caught Offside, the Bundesliga giants have bounced back from the setback, though, as Max Eberl, the Munich director, has “already made contact” with De Zerbi.
“FC Bayern is still a bit in shock after Alonso’s cancellation. That changes everything in the search for a successor to Thomas Tuchel. Suddenly Julian Nagelsmann, who was the coach in Munich until 2023, is the top favorite.
“Nagelsmann can decide: either he extends his contract as Germany’s national coach or he goes back to FC Bayern,” Christian Falk shared in his exclusive column with CaughtOffside.
“There are three candidates behind Nagelsmann: Ralf Rangnick, coach of Austria, Roger Schmidt, coach of Benfica Lisbon, and Roberto De Zerbi.
“When it comes to De Zerbi, the Munich bosses are not sure whether he is a good fit for the club. The Italian is considered difficult.
