Bayern Munich is reportedly considering appointing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, as interim manager should the German champions part company with Thomas Tuchel.
According to sources, the German giants have turned their attention to the former Manchester United manager as a temporary solution until the end of the season. Currently, there are no concrete details available.
Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenburg first reported that Tuchel ‘will definitely remain as the coach of FC Bayern and will not be dismissed’, further claiming that the former Chelsea boss is ‘not considering resigning’ from the club
But Plettenburg then claimed that Bayern are ‘monitoring’ Solskjaer as a potential interim solution, with sporting director Christoph Freund said to be an admirer of the Norwegian.
Solskjaer wouldn’t be a long-term solution for Bayern though, with Zinedine Zidane emerging as one of their top candidates for the permanent role should Tuchel be shown the door.
Solskjaer remains without a job and is ready to take on a new project.
According to reports, Bayern is currently sticking to the plan and is prepared to continue working with Thomas Tuchel. Previously, it was thought that Hansi Flick, who previously successfully coached Bayern, could replace him, but the club bosses have concluded that it wouldn’t be the right decision at this time.
However, if Tuchel fails to improve the situation, Bayern will have a new head coach in the summer.
Tuchel is under significant pressure after three straight defeats to Bayer Leverkusen, Lazio and Bochum.
The German giants still have a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League quarter-finals with the second leg against Lazio to come in Bavaria, but the consecutive Bundesliga defeats leave them eight points behind league leaders Leverkusen.
