Tuchel is leaving and Rangnick likely to come in, with several Red Bull alumni already in place amid disquiet among fans
on Tuesday night, thoughts were beginning to turn, with alarming speed, to new plans and new eras. While the outgoing Thomas Tuchel dissected the performances of Kim Min-jae and Leroy Sané in the broadcast zone, the top brass were a few yards away discussing his likely successor: Bayern’s present, and future, and soon-to-be past, all gauchely colliding against each other in one big hot mess.The deal with Ralf Rangnick is not quite done at the time of writing, but by all accounts imminent.
Heynckes was so furious when informed that he was being replaced by Pep Guardiola that he initially refused to let the president, Uli Hoeness, into his apartment to break the news. And while Tuchel has largely kept a diplomatic counsel amid the feverish speculation over his replacement, there would be a satisfyingly cold symmetry in Bayern winning another Champions League crown under the aegis of a coach they had already decided to discard.
Well, lots of people, probably. And certainly among Bayern fans, who have been vocal in their resistance to Rangnick in the days since his candidature became public, there is a natural wariness to the creeping soft-drink model, with its cultish corporate vibes and imperial, expansionist scope. Before last weekend’s game against Eintracht Frankfurt, some of them unfurled a banner protesting against the growing Red Bull influence in their club.
