Franz Beckenbauer: Hansi Flick must make his future clear | OneFootball

Bayern Munich honorary president Franz Beckenbauer has urged manager Hansi Flick to publicly commit himself to either Bayern or the German national team job.

Joachim Löw will step down following this summer’s Euros and there has been growing speculation that Flick could be next in line, especially after he opened the door to a Bayern exit this summer after the Bavarians were eliminated by PSG.

“Of course he has to commit himself to something. He says that he will stay and that he will have a valid contract until 2023,” Beckenbauer told Sport 1.

“Then there is no need to ask anyway because then everything is said. But if he doesn’t, the speculation is of course open. Then he has to live with them. Then he cannot say ‘next question’, but has to respond to it.”

RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann and former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri are both reportedly on Bayern’s shortlist should Flick leave the club.
