Erik ten Hag has emerged as a surprise candidate to replace Thomas Tuchel at Bayern Munich, as the German manager prepares to leave the Bundesliga giants at the end of the season. Tuchel, 50, announced his decision to depart Bayern back in February, following a season where the club surrendered the Bundesliga title for the first time in 11 years.

Despite leading Bayern to the Champions League semi-finals this season, Tuchel’s departure has sparked speculation about his replacement. Bayern had been linked with Unai Emery and Ralf Rangnick, but a report from BILD suggests that Ten Hag is now in the discussion. Ten Hag is currently under pressure at Manchester United after a disappointing season where the team exited the Champions League at the group stage.

If United decides to part ways with Ten Hag, he could potentially find a new role at the Allianz Arena.Meanwhile, Tuchel is reportedly interested in replacing Ten Hag at Old Trafford, but any talks with Manchester United are likely to wait until after Bayern’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid on May 8.
