Lothar Matthäus believes Julian Nagelsmann is the perfect candidate to succeed Thomas Tuchel as Bayern Munich coach.

With Thomas Tuchel stepping down on the finish of the season, Bayern Munich are at the moment searching for a brand new coach.

One of many candidates is alleged to be present Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann, who served as Bayern’s coach from July 2021 till March 2023, when he was sacked out of the blue and changed with Tuchel.

Though a return can be controversial, Matthäus believes Bayern can be smart to deliver again the 36-year-old ought to he have an interest after his short-term contract with the German Soccer Affiliation expires after this summer time’s European Championship.

“I believe he is the perfect of all of the candidates in the marketplace. He is aware of the membership, he has typically performed very engaging soccer. He was sacked when all three titles have been nonetheless doable. And when he needed to go, the title race was nonetheless thrilling and so they weren’t an embarrassing 13 factors behind the leaders. That is nothing in opposition to Thomas Tuchel. However there have been far too many unhealthy video games and inexplicable defeats below his management. And he not often obtained the crew to play thrilling and engaging soccer,” Matthäus wrote in a column for Sky Germany.

“Underneath the present circumstances, Nagelsmann’s return might be actually good. One factor shouldn’t be forgotten. The younger coach, who was even youthful again then, was typically left alone and unsupported by the membership’s administration. There was an annual basic assembly that obtained out of hand and the coach, who was in his mid-30s, needed to take a stand. He was speculated to be teaching the crew, not appearing just like the international minister.

I consider that Max Eberl, Christoph Freund, Dreesen, Hainer, Hoeness and Rummenigge can supply coach Nagelsmann a a lot stronger defend than he was used to again then. This membership has to get again to the purpose the place everybody totally identifies with the membership, offers all the things they have and is actually up for the job. The brand new season should lastly put an finish to the second spherical exits within the DFB Pokal, the embarrassments within the Bundesliga each few weeks, and the Champions League exits in opposition to small golf equipment,” Matthäus acknowledged.

Austria coach Ralf Rangnick and Brighton & Hove Albion supervisor Roberto De Zerbi, amongst others, have additionally been linked with the job.
