Erik ten Hag considered for Bayern Munich manager role as Thomas Tuchel’s successor | Football News

Bayern Munich is still on the hunt for a new manager to take charge this summer after being turned down by several top candidates. Ralf Rangnick, Julian Nagelsmann, and Xabi Alonso have all declined the opportunity, leaving the club scrambling to find a suitable replacement for Thomas Tuchel, who is set to leave after failing to defend the Bundesliga crown.

One potential candidate on Bayern’s radar is Erik ten Hag, the current head coach of Manchester United. The Bundesliga giants have reached out to Ten Hag’s agent to inquire about his interest in taking over at the Allianz Arena. However, the Dutchman has made it clear that his focus remains on finishing the season strong with United, who are still vying for European football and the FA Cup.

Despite the interest from Bayern, Ten Hag is committed to his current role at United and is determined to see out the season with the club. Bayern’s hierarchy holds Ten Hag in high regard, believing that his coaching abilities have been hindered by off-field issues and a poor operational set-up at United.

If Ten Hag were to part ways with United at the end of the season, Bayern would not be the only potential suitor. Two other clubs have also expressed interest in the Dutchman, highlighting his desirability in the managerial market.

With uncertainty surrounding Ten Hag’s future, there has been speculation about a potential swap between him and Thomas Tuchel, who has expressed interest in the United job. Tuchel’s departure from Bayern has raised questions about why no other clubs have pursued him, with some viewing him as a perfect fit for United as they continue to build a world-class operational structure.

As the season draws to a close, all eyes are on Ten Hag and Tuchel as they navigate their respective futures in the world of football management.
