It is December 20, 2015. Bayern Munich has just informed the public that its beloved coach Pep Guardiola (53) does not want to renew his contract, which expires in the summer of 2016, and will leave the club at the end of 2016. The season. Munich regrets this decision, but must accept it in silence.
In the end, the Spanish coach gave the German record champion the double. After the thriller victory in the DFB Cup (4:3 after penalty shootout) in his last league match, the coach is celebrated, cheered and praised by all players. Everyone is happy – but what the people of Munich don’t know yet: it will be the last good coaching departure for a long time.
Ancelotti is having a hard time
Guardiola is followed by the complete opposite with Carlo Ancelotti (64). The Italian, who previously won the Champions League with Milan (2003 and 2007) and Real Madrid (2014), always stands calmly and without showing much emotion on the sidelines. The big problem: Ancelotti has difficulty with the German language and never seems to be able to get in touch with the players. After almost 15 months and a slow start to the 2017/18 season, he is released – with a championship title and two Super Cups to his name.
Heynckes intervenes again
After a short intermezzo with then assistant coach Willy Sagnol (46) as an interim solution, club hero Jupp Heynckes (78) unexpectedly stepped into the breach. It is his fourth term in office at Isar – and a “service of friendship” for then-president Uli Hoeness (72). Under Heynckes, Bayern won their first treble in 2013, making the German immortal. So it can only get worse.
From a sporting point of view, after the failed Ancelotti era, one can speak of a change that will result in a championship title. However, against Hoeness’s wishes, Heynckes no longer wants to continue at the end of the season. So a new man is needed on the sidelines.
Kovac is also gone despite the double
In the summer of 2018, Niko Kovac (52) was brought in by the coach of a competition rival. But Kovac’s tenure has been understarred from the start. The German-Croatian defeated Heynckes’ Bayern with Eintracht Frankfurt in May – it was already clear that he would take over the Munich team in the summer. In terms of title, you can be satisfied with Kovac’s performance: he won the double and the Supercup.
However, the management was not at all satisfied with the playing style and the way in which the players were trained. Once again, a slow, mixed start to the season is the downfall of a Bayern coach: the collaboration with Kovac ends in November 2019.
Flick: from love story to argument
A love story follows – which ultimately ends in an argument: Hansi Flick (58) convinces the management team around Kahn, Salihamidzic and Co. so much so that he is allowed to stay – originally only planned as an interim coach. Under Flick, the Munich team won no fewer than six titles in his first season. Flick is only the second coach in football history (Guardiola at Barcelona in 2009) to win the so-called sixfold.
But just. Back to the argument. There are always conflicts between Flick and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic (47) about the transfer policy. As a potential successor to the resigned DFB coach Joachim Löw, Flick announced live in an interview with Sky in mid-April 2021 that he would leave Bayern in the summer. An interview that did not amuse the Bayern bosses at all. With ‘only’ the championship title, Flick packs up his things at the end of the season.
Nagelsmann dumped – Tuchel failed
Julian Nagelsmann (36) takes over. And now it should finally work with a long-term trainer! The young coach will receive a five-year contract in June 2021. The love affair starts to crumble after about a year and a half. It was said that the triple was in danger. And so the Bayern bosses ingloriously shame their former golden boy because the “absolute dream solution” is available in Thomas Tuchel. The end of this story is known; last week it was announced that Tuchel would leave the club at the end of the season.
The sobering conclusion: no coach in Munich since Guardiola has lasted two full seasons. The question arises: who will do this to themselves next? The list of potential successors is long and the names are interesting. One thing is clear: it remains exciting in the Säbener Strasse.
