Bayern appreciate Arsène Wenger very much for his work as coach at Arsenal, but he is no option as a coach at Bayern Munich. ”

“Now it is not excluded that Flick may stay longer than the first two games (Piraeus and Dortmund). Because in the summer of 2020, the record champion could then possibly bring Erik ten Hag (49 / Ajax Amsterdam / contract until 2022) or Thomas Tuchel (46 / Paris St. Germain / contract until 2021) to Munich.”

Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic (42) on Wednesday evening after beating Piraeus said; “We will calmly, without pressure, choose the coach, who in our opinion is the right one.
