Bayern Munich Rumored to Hire Ralf Rangnick

Amidst Champions League Excitement, Club Explores Coaching Options

Bayern Munich's thrilling 2-2 draw with Real Madrid in the Champions League was overshadowed by reports suggesting that the club could hire former Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick as early as Wednesday or Thursday.

Talks Intensifying

According to sources, talks between Bayern Munich and Rangnick have intensified in recent days. The 64-year-old German coach is said to be the club's preferred candidate to replace Julian Nagelsmann, who has come under fire following a series of disappointing results.

Austria Denies Contact

However, the Austrian FA has denied making any contact with Rangnick, despite reports that he was in line to take over the national team. This has raised questions about the validity of the Bayern Munich rumors.
