Doubts remain, and the 2019/2020 season's outcome might affect the decision next to the availability of fitting challengers.

THOMAS TUCHEL

The former Dortmund coach has been on Rummenigge's list for a while. Admiration seems to be still alive. Things could get done next summer as Paris officials are assumed to be eyeing Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone.

Two years ago, Rummenigge attempt failed to install Tuchel as former Bayern president Uli Hoeness opposed the move.

Media reports speak of Tuchel having lost his faith in the French capital and be increasingly unhappy. Despite his contract running until 2021, a possible deal is not out of sight.

ERIK TEN HAG

The Dutch coach can count on his remarkable work, having restructured struggling Ajax as he reached the Champions League semifinal in 2019.

The tactically gifted 1991 Dutch champion can rely on an in-depth knowledge when it comes to Bayern as he was the Bavarians amateur coach from 2013 to 2017.

However, like Flick, Ten Hag has not been working on the highest level for long.

MAURICIO POCHETTINO

The Argentine's disadvantage: He is no German native speaker. In the past, Bayern always went for German-speaking coaches, and several times club leaders announced suitable language skills are a must.

Bayern's current sports director Hasan Salihamidzic seems to favor Pochettino, but inside reports speak of his declining influence on the issue. Kahn, as Bayern's next strong man, is said not to be a fan of the former Tottenham Hotspur manager.
