Bayern Munich reportedly make surprise move for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as Tuchel’s replacement

Bayern Munich are reportedly considering Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as a potential replacement for under-pressure manager Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel’s position at Bayern has come under fire following series of poor results, including three consecutive defeats.

Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported Bayern’s interest in Solskjaer as an interim manager.

While Bayern is unlikely to part ways with Tuchel before the end of the season, they are considering contingency plans if results do not improve.

Solskjaer, a Manchester United legend and former boss, known for his iconic Champions League-winning goal against Bayern Munich in 1999, has had mixed success as a manager.

After a successful start as United’s interim manager in 2018, he was appointed permanently but was eventually sacked in 2022 following related issue of poor run of results.

Despite his mixed managerial record, some fans believe Solskjaer could be a good appointment for Bayern.

They cite his ability to motivate players and his experience at a top club like Manchester United.

Solskjaer himself has formerly expressed his readiness to return to management and is open to new challenges.

While Zinedine Zidane and Xabi Alonso are also linked with the Bayern job, Solskjaer’s potential appointment has sparked a buzz.
