On Friday, the German Football Association announced that Nagelsmann had renewed his contract until the end of the 2026 World Cup, meaning that Nagelsmann will not return to Bayern. According to World Sport, Zidane is one step away from becoming Bayern manager.
Following Tuchel's announcement that he would leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season, Nagelsmann was seen as the favourite to take over at Bayern. However, Nagelsmann has unexpectedly chosen to continue in charge of the German national team.
According to Le Monde Sport, Bayern have been in talks with Zinedine Zidane, "Almost everyone who knows the inside of the negotiations between the two sides thinks that they have reached an agreement, but they have not signed it yet." At present, Zinedine Zidane has asked Bayern to bring in reinforcements in the summer window, especially in defence. ”
From 2016 to 2018 and from 2019 to 2021, Zidane managed Real Madrid twice and won the Champions League three times in a row. After leaving Real Madrid in 2021, Zidane wanted to coach the French national team, but the French Football Federation opted to renew Deschamps' contract.
Zidane has been idle for three years, and "World Sports" analyzed the reasons why Zidane chose Bayern, including Bayern's strong strength to compete for titles in various competitions, as well as the stability of medium and long-term plans.
However, the Munich Zeitung did not confirm the news, believing that Bayern will choose between De Zerbi, Emery and Rangnick. In addition, Bayern are considering three managers who are at home, Antonio Conte, Zinedine Zidane and Flick.
"Kicker" revealed that the 59-year-old Flick is expected to return to Bayern. After leaving the German national team in 2023, Flick hopes to return to the dugout next season. However, Bayern are discussing Flick, but Nagelsmann and Rangnick are more popular.
