Bavarian Podcast Works The Bavarian Podcast Works Team

Bayern Munich’s offseason is underway and it looks like (again!) the club has made a decision on its coaching hire.
Vincent Kompany is likely going to be the man for the job, but the coaching position probably will not be the only experiencing change this summer. The Bavarians are going to be targeting several areas for improvement and — even aside of all of that — the future of many current players on the roster could be in jeopardy as well.
We will talk about all of that and more on this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Show. Let’s take a look at what we have on tap for this episode:

Vincent Kompany looks like he will ink a deal with Bayern Munich and Hansi Flick will do the same for FC Barcelona. Will both clubs be better off for it?

Max Eberl made the final call on Kompany...and stepped over Uli Hoeneß to make it happen. Was that a wise move? Either way, he is going to thrive or get fired on his own terms.

Could Joshua Kimmich — or any other Bavarians — take a look at joining Flick in Catalonia.

Throwing a little appreciation toward Bayer Leverkusen and their incredible season.

Bayern Munich’s season might be over, but its offseason is already in full swing.
The coaching search could be over, the roster overhaul could be starting, and fans can only sit and wait for everything to play out.
What do we do in the meantime? Let’s discuss it all!
This is what we have on tap for the episode of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:

Bayern Munich seems very close to hiring Vincent Kompany (where have we heard that before? Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, Hansi Flick, Thomas Tuchel Roberto De Zerbi...) and why this time, fans should take it very seriously without feeling like Charlie Brown trying to kick that damn football.

The positives of hiring Kompany — his playing experience, his ability to relate to players, his style preferences match Bayern Munich’s ideals.

The negatives — no competitive big game experience, has never coached in major competitions for a high profile club, his locker room command might not jibe with the egos and personalities in Munich, and he just got RELEGATED. All that, plus Bayern Munich cannot afford to miss...again...on this hire.

What’s the Weekend Warm-up’s verdict? Well, this might be a little risky.

Aside of that, Chris Führich and Theo Hernandez could be on their way to Bavaria, while Jamal Musiala could be on his way out in 2025.

In about a week, Bayern Munich have become the laughing stock of the football world. Going all-in on trying to keep Thomas Tuchel for another year only to be rejected, and then finishing third in the Bundesliga after a devastating defeat to Hoffenheim — it’s the lowest point this club has seen in well over a decade.
Since Tuchel is now gone, it’s time to start blaming the people actually responsible for this circus. The board needs to answer for what is happening at this club.
In this episode, INNN and Samrin discuss the following:

This is how the banter era starts.

Tangent: Is Manuel Neuer finished? Probably not.

How a lack of leadership at the top level has led to this current situation.

Why people should have seen this coming.

How this current coaching circus makes it even harder to find a new coach.

What trying to keep Thomas Tuchel at the last minute says about the board.

Why doesn’t Bayern Munich want to bring back Hansi Flick?

Discussing the pros and cons of a potential Flick return.

Some other final candidates, like Erik ten Hag (ew), Allegri (eww), and Mourinho (ewww).

Bayern Munich will close out its season with an away trip to Sinsheim to face off with a very up-and-down Hoffenheim squad.
