Dropped by Milan, highly valued by Bayern?

In its search for a new coach, FC Bayern Munich has apparently asked Julen Lopetegui.

The 57-year-old Spaniard most recently coached English Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers, where his contract was terminated last August a few days before the start of the season. Lopetegui had previously looked after the Spanish national team, Real Madrid and Sevilla FC, among others.


In recent weeks, the Iberian had been highly regarded at Milan as Stefano Pioli's successor. However, after fans mobilized against Lopetegui's signing via an online petition, the Milanese withdrew.

According to reports from Sky and BILD The Munich team checked whether Lopetegui was an option as a coach. Accordingly, Roger Schmidt from Benfica Lisbon should also be an option. After the rejections of Ralf Rangnick, Julian Nagelsmann and Xabi Alonso, the German record champions are still looking for a successor to coach Thomas Tuchel, who will leave the club in the summer.
