The Bavarians are set to part ways with Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season. Following the decision of their two main targets, Xabi Alonso and Julian Nagelsmann, to extend their current positions, the club has swiftly moved on to their next candidate. Negotiations are reportedly progressing rapidly, with only minor details needing to be sorted out before the Marseille native finalizes his contract. Zinedine Zidane, the apparent candidate, is believed to view Bayern as possessing the qualities he seeks in a club to manage, but has requested a focus on defensive reinforcements in the transfer market.
Meanwhile, with Didier Deschamps still leading Les Bleus, Zidane has now turned his attention to succeeding Tuchel in Bavaria.
