Thomas Tuchel and Hansi Flick have both been linked with the Barcelona job in recent weeks, and both could end the season at Bayern Munich as well. The elder is under severe pressure in Bavaria, and his job security seems to be changing every day.
After defeating Bayer Leverkusen, Lazio and most recently Bochum, Tuchel is expected to be a poor result away from the bag, with Bayern eight points off the top of the table currently, although they intend to hold on until the end of this season.
However, this has not stopped Bayern from reaching out to potential options to end the season if they feel the need to say goodbye to Tuchel. Flick was one of the names mentioned, among the likes of Zinedine Zidane, but according to Sky Deutschland, via MD, Flick rejected the idea. He will not return to Bayern before the end of the season.
Flick has made all the right noises for the Barcelona job, with various reports emerging saying he wants the job, and even others saying he is learning Spanish. The 58-year-old has also recently changed his agent to Pini Zahavi, who is closely linked to Barcelona president Joan Laporta. He has enjoyed Laporta's admiration since his Bayern demolished Barcelona 8-2 in 2020, but was far less impressive in charge of Germany before they sacked him.
