It’s no secret Bayern Munich now find themselves under pressure to sign a new coach, especially with Xabi Alonso ruled out.
Brighton & Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly one of the names on the list, with Sky Deutschland backing that up in a story today.
The German outlet features quotes from Bayern Munich sports director Max Eberl, who gave an update on the hunt for a new boss.
“If there is something, we will announce it. You’re all eagerly waiting for it,” he said.
“I’m working on it, we’re working on it. The white smoke will eventually rise.”
Sky writes there’s this ‘speculation’ about Julian Nagelsmann possibly taking the position, while Brighton’s De Zerbi comes up ‘again and again’.
It seems clear that Bayern Munich do not have advanced talks with any of their options for now, and there’s still time until the end of the season and Thomas Tuchel’s departure.
De Zerbi’s work at Brighton has drawn attention from the European media for a while now, especially with Italian and English clubs being suggested as potential destinations for him. Now it remains to be seen if the Bundesliga giants will actually consider him.
