Xabi Alonso has chosen Bayer Leverkusen, Julian Nagelsmann for the German national team. At the third attempt, FC Bayern finally wanted to find a new head coach in Ralf Rangnick, but the 65-year-old turned him down on Thursday.
Instead, he prefers to remain national coach of the Austrian national team. Rangnick officially packaged it as a commitment to the ÖFB. “I would like to expressly emphasize that this is not a rejection of FC Bayern, but a decision for my team and our common goals,” he is quoted in the association’s statement.

According to consistent media reports, the decision can certainly be understood as a rejection of Bayern. It has been said in the past few days that Rangnick was irritated by Uli Hoeneß’ statements towards Thomas Tuchel.
Marcel Reif criticizes Uli Hoeneß over Tuchel statements
The Bayern manager had criticized the current FCB coach’s treatment of young players and later announced that he would continue to express his opinion publicly in the future.
“Uli Hoeneß’ statements from last week didn’t really help”criticized Marcel Reif at the “Bild” the words of the Honorable President. This not only made the work of the current trainer more difficult, but also made it more difficult to find a successor. After such criticism, the future coach knows “what to expect”.
Basically, the first question that arises is which candidates are still eligible. Sebastian Hoeneß (VfB Stuttgart) and Unai Emery (Aston Villa), who were originally traded, also recently extended their contracts; the Munich team is said to have recently had no contact with Roberto De Zerbi.
Big FCB deception? Zidane would not convince Reif
“Zinédine Zidane is the only one who hasn’t officially canceled yet – of those who were played at the beginning,” said Reif at the “Bild” firmly. The former Sky commentator added a little speculation: “They’ve put up the smoke screen like in old times. If they only ever wanted Zidane and he’s now agreed, then I say: Okay, that’s a name.”
However, in his opinion, this supposedly last patron from the Bayern bosses would not be a satisfactory solution. The Frenchman is more of a team boss than a laptop trainer, “he needs the language more than anyone else.” The problem is obvious: “He doesn’t speak good English and certainly not German.”
Should it still come down to Zidane in the end, Bayern would have “held everyone up nicely” and had “glamor and glory in the Allianz Arena”, but the great enthusiasm is by no means reflected in Reif.
Even during his time at Real Madrid, the French trainer was not considered a great tactician, but rather led a group of outstanding individualists with his natural authority. But it was extremely successful, after all Zidane led the Royals to three Champions League triumphs in a row.
FC Bayern Munich is looking for a coach. Strictly speaking, it became clear at the end of February that current coach Thomas Tuchel and the German record champions would part ways at the end of the season.
