Having trailed first-placed Bayer 04 Leverkusen 8 points after 22 games played in the 2023/2024 German Bundesliga 1 Season and lost in multiple domestic cup competitions, it is no secret that Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich have unperformed in the German top-flight football in the 2023/2024 Season. In regard to this, rumour has it that the Bavarians are preparing to part way with the disappointing German Thomas Tuchel, and potential successors to the former Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea head coach have already emerged earlier this week, with three notable candidates being named as favourites.
Let us take a look at the three possible personnel who could succeed Thomas Tuchel as the new manager should he be sacked by Bayern Munich.
Top Three Men to Succeed Thomas Tuchel as New Bayern Munich Gaffer
1. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
A shocking former professional football manager that can take over the managerial role at Bayern Munich is former Manchester United player and head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The 50-year-old ex-Molde FK and Cardiff City head coach has been without a job after he left the Red Devils in the 2021/2022 Season, and has surprised the world of football as a candidate for the Bayern Munich manager position.
Should the Baby-Faced Assassin does succeed Thomas Tuchel as the new gaffer for the Bavarians, Solskjaer would be returning to the team that he beat with a famous last-minute winning goal in the 1998/1999 UEFA Champions League Final as a member of the continental treble-winning squad for Manchester United.

2. Zinedine Zidane
The former FIFA World Cup and Ballon d’Or winner Zidane is amongst the hot favourites to capture the Bayern Munich head coach role should Thomas Tuchel is ousted by the German club. Similar to Solskjaer, Zidane, widely known as one of the most successful person in football in both his playing and managerial career especially during his stints with Juventus and Real Madrid, has been without a club since 2021.
As contrast to sources that Zizou is interested to coach a team at the Saudi Pro League or the French Ligue 1, it is more likely that the Frenchman is intend to stay in Europe and coach a solid outfit for the next chapter of his footballing career, which makes 33-time German champions and six-time European Cup / UEFA Champions League winners Bayern Munich an intriguing destination.

3. Xabi Alonso
With the coaching role at Liverpool club set to be vacant due to Jürgen Klopp’s confirmed departure at the end of the 2023/2024 Season, former Reds Alonso has been tipped to join the 19-time English champions at the start of the next year. In addition to such news, due to the depressing run of Bayern Munich, the current boss of Bayer 04 Leverkusen Alonso is also rumoured to join his current rivals Bavarians in the near future.
Led by the former Real Sociedad, Eibar, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich footballer, Bayer 04 Leverkusen remained unbeaten in all competitions they played in 2023/2024. Not only the team is reigning supreme at the summit of the German Bundesliga 1, Leverkusen has also reached the DFB-Pokal Semifinal as well as the UEFA Europa League Round of 16, indicating that Alonso is a perfect candidate if Bayern wish to continue to dominate the German and European club football. Besides, due to his connection as a former player at the Bavarians, Alonso’s takeover at the managerial position would not come as a staggering decision.
