Bayern Munich overestimated themselves. They planned for Thomas Tuchel to be succeeded by Julian Nagelsmann, but nothing will come of it. The young coach extended his contract with the German FA until 2026.The Munich giants are now in a serious problem because they do not have a coach for the next season. Thomas Tuchel will certainly leave the bench at the end of the season regardless of whether he wins the Champions League. It was decided back in February when it became clear that the Bavarians would not defend their title in the Bundesliga. Bayern hoped that Xabi Alonso would be a replacement for Tuchel, tried to bring him, but in the end, the Spaniard decided to stay in Leverkusen for another year and wait for Carlo Ancelotti’s term in Real Madrid to expire. Alonso’s act alone and the message that he is not interested in moving to Bayern was enough of a warning to the management of the Bavarian great that something is seriously wrong at the club and that they no longer have the respect and reputation of the football world as before.🚨 BREAKING: Julian Nagelsmann has announced that he will remain as Germany head coach beyond Euro 2024 despite interest from Bayern Munich 🇩🇪 pic.twitter.com/GBofva7JSm— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) April 19, 2024 Then Bayern came up with the idea of bringing back Julian Nagelsmann, with whom they did not part ways very well. The young coach found out from the media that he had been fired while skiing. He later took over the German national team from Hansi Flick and was originally scheduled to lead them to the end of the European Championship on home soil. In Bayern, they were quite confident that Nagelsmann would wholeheartedly accept the invitation to return after the EURO. But, the obvious progress in the game of the German national team forced the leaders of the German football federation to fight for the coach and keep him. As much as Bayern is a symbol of German football, no club is above the interests of the national team.##EDITORS_CHOICE##First, the contract with the director of the national team, Rudi Voller, was extended, which was a signal to Nagelsmann that the positive atmosphere would not change. Voller is a big name and not a Bayern man. He has a great relationship with Nagelsmann and was one of the key people in the negotiations over the new contract. Although Bayern, in the meantime, through the new directors Max Eberl and Christoph Freund, got in touch with Nagelsmann and his representatives, presented an offer for a return and was convinced that he would accept it, they underestimated the German FA. Nagelsmann eventually agreed to a two-year extension of cooperation with the national team.”This is a decision made from the heart. It is a great honor to coach the national team and the best players of your country. With successful and passionate performances we have a chance to inspire the whole nation. The victories against France and the Netherlands in March gave us a hint of that. We were touched by the enthusiasm of the fans. Now we want a successful European Championship on home soil and we can’t wait to get started. After that, I and my coaching staff look forward to further challenges such as the 2026 World Cup,” Nagelsmann said after signing a new contract with the German FA.##NAJAVA_MECA_8046311##After plan A (Alonso), Bayern’s plan B failed in a few months. Now they have to turn to new solutions. The speculations surrounding Zinedine Zidane do not have any solid confirmation from any relevant source for now and there is little chance that we could see the legendary Frenchman on the bench of the Bavarians. Other options include Roberto De Zerbi from Brighton, Austrian coach Ralf Rangnick, and Sebastian Hoennes, who is working wonders with Stuttgart, recently extended his contract with the Swabians. Bayern don’t have much choice and time…
