🎙️ Ten Hag confirms to Gary Neville he wanted Harry Kane: “Yes, you know Kane will get you 30 goals. He’s a striker who already proved it, who we wanted to sign and we couldn’t get him”. “So we went for Højlund. He’s a big talent. Rasmus will get there [30 goals], but he needs time”

Erik ten Hag has been added to Bayern’s shortlist for the coaching position amid Thomas Tuchel’s departure at the end of this season.

Ten Hag suddenly became a candidate to lead Bayern

Reporter Christian Falk reported that Bayern is considering four options for the head coach position. Ten Hag is one of them. Julen Lopetegui and Roger Schmidt are also on the list. However, Roger Schmidt recently denied this information and expressed his desire to stay at Benfica.

Bayern is also linked to Roberto De Zerbi, but the Italian military leader is also prioritizing staying at Brighton.

Bayern decided to part ways with Thomas Tuchel at the end of February, but allowed the German coach to stay until the end of the season. Xabi Alonso was the main target of the “Gray Tigers” before he announced his intention to stay at Bayer Leverkusen. Ralf Rangnick also publicly withdrew from the race to win the hot seat at Bayern. Meanwhile, Julian Nagelsmann is a potential candidate but has signed a new contract with the German team.

Ten Hag’s future at Man United is extremely unstable and he could very well be fired in the summer. Previously, Ten Hag also worked at Bayern. The Dutch strategist led Bayern Munich’s reserve team in Pep Guardiola’s first two seasons working at the club.

Tuchel can still be retained if he helps Bayern win the Champions League. After the semi-final first leg, the score between Bayern and Real Madrid is 2-2. However, sporting director Christoph Freund recently confirmed that Bayern will not change its plans with Tuchel.
