After Manchester United's humiliating 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, manager Erik ten Hag should have come to an end in charge of Manchester United. Just now, according to the exact news brought by the British media Times Sport, the management is difficult to accept that the team was beaten by Crystal Palace in the league. They had already had the idea of replacing Ten Hag in the future, and now they are ready to speed up the process.
For Manchester United, they still have a lot of options at this stage. Apart from a few rumored targets in the media, the team's top management have already agreed with Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel, so there is no pressure to replace Ten Hag next. Of course, Ten Hag has somewhere to go. According to the latest news brought by Plettenburg, the chief reporter of German media Sky Sports, Bayern Munich has made several contacts with Ten Hag's team, and both sides are interested in joining forces in the coming season. Ten Hag was initially hesitant to do so, but as his situation at Manchester United gets worse, he hopes to take over Bayern next season.
To some extent, Bayern and Ten Hag's alliance this time is quite helpless. Bayern itself, as a first-line giant, has high requirements for the manager. But the team's several alternate candidates approached this summer window have all failed. At first, Bayern Munich wanted to bring back former head coach Nagelsmann, but when everything was ready, Nagelsmann suddenly changed his mind. He chose to renew his contract with the German national team, which caught Bayern off guard. Later, King Nan contacted Rangnick again, thinking that this was a second-best option, but he didn't expect Rangnick to refuse as well.
The way he chose to refuse was even the same as Nagelsmann's, rejecting Bayern by renewing his contract with the national team. I have to say, this is very embarrassing. At this point, Bayern Munich's carefully prepared two candidates have all failed, which makes the top management a little nervous. Because there are not many good managers to choose from in this summer window, it is very likely that the team will not be available after a series of rejections. What a hasty change of coach means to a big team, I believe it goes without saying.
It is worth mentioning that Bayern Munich has considered former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, and they believe that Zidane meets Bayern's employment requirements in all aspects. But he was also rejected, and Zidane had previously been interviewed by outside media while watching an F1 event. He said that he would not coach Bayern, not because of the language barrier, but because he simply didn't want to go. It can be said that Bayern have been rejected by three potential managers in a row in just two weeks, which is also the first time. In the end, Bayern chose Ten Hag.
In a way, Ten Hag is now being questioned by the outside world. Because of his very poor results in Manchester United, Bayern's choice of him at this time is quite a bit of a rush to the hospital. But from another point of view, Ten Hag's achievements have not been recognized by the outside world. But after all, he has been in contact with German football, and he has led Bayern Munich's echelon before, and he is an old acquaintance with Bayern's current senior management. At the same time, he has been relatively successful in the training of young players, and this season he has played his best season with stars such as Garnacho and Kobe Menu. After he took charge of Bayern Munich, Musiala and others in the team can be further promoted and grown, which is what the top management wants to see.
At the same time, Ten Hag has been very tough on the management of the dressing room. In Manchester United, even in the face of Ronaldo, he was never soft. From this point of view, Bayern's hierarchy can use Ten Hag to better convey the club's will. It's a good management for the Bayern dressing room, which is a complicated situation. The hierarchy needs a unified voice in the team, and it is clear that Ten Hag is the right knife. As things stand, it is only a matter of time before Ten Hag takes over Bayern Munich in the summer window. So are you optimistic about his coaching prospects at Bayern Munich?
