Both Hansi Flick and Thomas Tuchel could have concluded the season at Bayern Munich, and both have been connected to the Barcelona position in recent weeks. The former is facing tremendous strain in Bavaria, and it seems like his job security is shifting daily.
Tuchel is considered a poor performer away from the bench after Bayern’s losses to Bayer Leverkusen, Lazio, and most recently Bochum. Despite this, the team plans to keep Tuchel on the field until the end of the current campaign.
That hasn’t stopped Bayern from contacting possible successors to see out the season if they decide it’s time to part ways with Tuchel. Flick has reportedly rejected the idea, according to Sky Deutschland via MD, despite being named among players like Zinedine Zidane. He’s not going to be going back to Bayern until the season is out.
With several reports surfacing that indicate he wants the Barcelona post and others that he is studying Spanish, Flick has been making all the necessary moves to land the position. Pini Zahavi, a close associate of Barcelona President Joan Laporta, is the new agent of the 58-year-old. Although he was far less effective as Germany’s manager before they fired him, he has garnered Laporta’s respect since his Bayern defeated Barcelona 8-2 in 2020.
