Don’t kill the messenger: Spanish report says Bayern Munich has agreed to deal with Zinedine Zidane

With the news breaking that Julian Nagelsmann has opted for a future with the German national team rather than Bayern Munich, the head coaching candidate list in Bavaria shrunk just a little bit more.

However, if you believe Mundo Deportivo, Bayern Munich already has an agreement with its next coach — Zinedine Zidane: Zinedine Zidane is one step away from becoming the coach of Bayern Munich starting next season. The French coach is the Bavarian club’s first option to replace Thomas Tuchel, who will not continue at Allianz when the season ends . Xabi Alonso was the great favorite of the Bavarian club to lead the next project but the Basque will continue at least one more year at Leverkusen.

With Alonso ruled out, the priorities were reduced to Julian Nagelsmann, former Bayern coach between 2021 and 2023 and current German national team, and Zinedine Zidane, whose name has been linked to the Munich entity on several occasions in recent years. The Nagelsmann renewal with the Mannschaft until 2026 paves the way for Zidane’s arrival at the Allianz.

Bayern Munich is a club that meets the requirements that Zidane demands to return to the ring three years later. The greatness of the entity, the stability of a medium and long-term project and the option of fighting for all the titles make Bayern the most attractive option for the French star, who has never had financial motivations to resume his career.

Bild journalist Tobi Altschäffl is so fired up about the report that he “Falk’d it up” with a patented “Falk Flex” of his own:
