Bayern Munich have added Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to their list of potential Thomas Tuchel replacements amid concerns over the German’s job.
According to Florian Plettenberg, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has emerged as an option to replace Thomas Tuchel at Bayern Munich. The Bavarians are keeping tabs on the former Manchester United manager, although they might stick with the German until the end of the campaign.
Bayern Munich to pursue Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been out of a job since leaving Manchester United in the middle of the 2021/22 season. The Norwegian has yet to find another project since but has now emerged on the radar of Bayern Munich, which might have taken a few by surprise.
The former Manchester United manager is an option for the Bavarians to replace Thomas Tuchel, with Zinedine Zidane also considered a target. Current Bayern Munich director, Christoph Freund, has followed Solskjaer for many years and may hold the cards should the Norwegian get the job.
However, Florian Plettenberg insists the chances are 50-50 at this stage, and no concrete talks are taking place. Solskjaer’s style might suit Bayern Munich, which is also why the former Manchester United manager has come on their radar.
Should he take over from Thomas Tuchel, he will have a massive task on his hands, although he has the experience of handling a big team. He might tick some boxes, although if he gets the job, the former Manchester United manager may have yet to be a popular choice among fans.
Thomas Tuchel’s days at Bayern numbered?
It has been a terrible period for Tuchel at Bayern Munich, having seen his side risk their Champions League campaign and fall behind in the Bundesliga title race. On the domestic front, back-to-back defeats to Bayer Leverkusen and VfL Bochum have seen them trail the former by eight points, while they have already lost their Round of 16 first leg away to Lazio.
As per latest reports, Tuchel might stay put until the end of the season. Bayern might accelerate their decision should they suffer elimination from the Champions League and fall further behind Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, which could prove catastrophic for the club.
