It seems that the new teacher of Korean defender Kim Min-jae has been decided. German local media pointed to Ralf Rangnick as Bayern Munich's new head coach.

Bayern Munich, who failed to win the German Bundesliga for the 12th consecutive year, will part ways with manager Thomas Tuchel, who is currently leading the club, after the 2023-24 season.

Munich's separation from Tuchel was confirmed in February. At the time, Munich announced on the club's official website that "Bayern Munich has agreed with Thomas Tuchel to end his contractual relationship, which was originally due to expire on June 30, 2025, on June 30, 2024."

Tuchel, who took charge of Munich in March last year, extended his club's winning streak to 11 years by becoming Bundesliga champion last season, but faced a crisis of ending the second year of the 2023-24 season without a game, eventually leading to a mutual contract termination agreement with the club.

Coach Tuchel failed to lift the trophy after losing 0-3 to RB Leipzig in the German Football League (DFL)-Super Cup before the start of the league. In addition, he was eliminated early in this season's German Football Confederation-Pokal Cup after losing to Jarbrücken, a third-division team, and the Bundesliga, which had been at the top for 11 consecutive years, was also handed over to Bayer Leverkusen.

It is known that neither Tuchel nor Munich had any intention of changing the terms agreed upon by each other, although they advanced to the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League.

Munich continued to search for a new head coach after his separation from Tuchel was confirmed. The leader who most wanted to replace Tuchel was Xavi Alonso, who led Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title this season, but Alonso himself said he would stay with Leverkusen and had to look for another leader.

Munich, who failed to appoint Alonso, again sent a love call to German national team coach Julian Nagelsmann, who had been dismissed in the past.

Nagelsmann, the young leader who holds the record for the youngest Bundesliga coach to make his debut, took charge of Munich ahead of the 2021-2022 season but was dismissed in March last year due to poor performance. He has led the German national football team since September last year after putting down the baton in Munich.

Nagelsmann's contract period is until 2024 European Championship (Euro 2024) in Germany in July, so Munich decided to bring Nagelsmann after the tournament, but Nagelsmann's choice was to extend his contract with the German national team.

The German Football Association announced on Wednesday that it had reached a unanimous agreement with Nagelsmann to extend his contract following the resolution of the association's supervisory committee and the general shareholders' meeting. With this contract renewal, Nagelsmann's contract with the German Football Association has been extended until 2026.

Munich's position as the next head coach fell into the fog as the leaders to succeed Tuchel chose to remain in office. Several media outlets nominated Zinedine Zidane and Robert Dezerbi, but their weight was focused on appointing Ralf Rangnick, who currently leads the Austrian national soccer team.

Rangnick has left a great mark in the Bundesliga. He has been the head coach of the Red Bull soccer team in Salzburg, Austria, and Leipzig, Germany, since 2012. As both coach and coach in Leipzig, he promoted Leipzig to the Bundesliga for the first time since his foundation and helped them finish second in the Bundesliga.

The fact that he worked with current Munich general manager Christophe Freund at the time and established a close relationship also means that he is likely to become the next Munich general manager.
