Roberto De Zerbi, the Italian coach, will not be taking over as Bayern Munich’s new manager, as revealed by Sporting Director Max Eberl following their 2:4 loss to Hoffenheim. When asked if the new coach would be Italian, Eberl firmly responded with a “no.” De Zerbi, previously seen as a top candidate to succeed Thomas Tuchel, is set to leave his current role at Premier League side Brighton at the end of the season. This news rules out potential moves for other Italian coaches like Allegri and Conte.
With De Zerbi and Allegri now off the table, as both are set to leave their current clubs, Bayern Munich faces uncertainty in their search for a new manager. Eberl had hinted at a promising solution before the game, stating, “The best is yet to come, we will find a very good solution.” Despite speculations linking various coaches to the job, including De Zerbi, Allegri, and Conte, Bayern Munich’s next managerial appointment remains unknown.
As the search for a new manager continues, Bayern Munich will have to look elsewhere following De Zerbi’s impending departure from Brighton. With Allegri also moving on from Juventus, the club is left with a blank slate in their coaching search. Eberl and Bayern Munich’s board will now need to explore other potential options to find the right fit for the club moving forward.
