Bayern Munich’s reign as Bundesliga champions officially came to an end on Sunday (April 14) after Bayer Leverkusen’s 5-0 win over Werder Bremen. The German giants who enjoyed 11 years as the league champions are seeking to find a replacement for outgoing manager Thomas Tuchel. And one name high on the list is former coach Julian Nagelsmann, who is currently managing Germany's national team. According to reports, Bayern are in advance talks with the German gaffer and will soon make an audacious move for him.

<h2>Bayern Munich hunt for Nagelsmann</h2>

As per reports by Sky Germany on Tuesday (April 16), Bayern have had initial talks with Nagelsmann’s representatives. The German boss, who will manage the national side at the Euro 2024 at home will be the favourite to land the job having previously been in charge of the side between 2021 to 2023. While Xabi Alonso was the desired target for the Bavarians, that possibility was put to an end last week when he confirmed his desire to stay at Bayer Leverkusen.

Having earlier announced the departure of Thomas Tuchel in February, Nagelsmann along with Jurgen Klopp and Xabi Alonso were in the race. However, with Klopp not interested in the job and Alonso happy to stay at Bayer Leverkusen, Nagelsmann was the key contender.

As things stand, nothing is official as Nagelsmann’s current job is to help Germany win the Euro 2024. Germany haven’t won the Euro since 1996 when they beat the Czech Republic in the final and have been without silverware on the international stage since 2017 when they won the FIFA Confederations Cup.

<h2>Outside candidates for the job</h2>

The German giants are also keeping tabs on Zinedine Zidane and Franck Ribery as his assistant. Zidane comes with a proven track record of winning the Champions League and La Liga during his time at Real Madrid. Zidane is a free agent and has not taken a job since 2021 when he left Real Madrid during his second spell.

Hansi Flick is another option on the table who has been a free agent and is a popular name at the club. Flick won the 2020 Champions League including the DFB Pokal and Bundesliga title at the club.
