„He doesn’t fit into the system“ – This Bayern star faces problems under Rangnick | OneFootball

Ralf Rangnick is currently considered by far the hottest candidate for the coaching position at FC Bayern. It is clear that there will be some changes in Munich under the 65-year-old, especially with regard to the squad. One Bayern star in particular could face problems.

According to media reports, Ralf Rangnick’s commitment to Bayern seems to be getting closer and closer. Munich are just waiting for the experienced coach’s final confirmation.

Although he recently emphasised in an interview with 90minuten.at that he always maintains a good relationship with his protégés, dealing with FC Bayern’s world star-studded dressing room could also pose problems for him. SPORT1 chief reporter Stefan Kumberger reckons that Rangnick could have problems with the dressing room in Munich: „He is more of a team manager and project manager. I think he’s better at building than managing.“

He is particularly critical of the situation surrounding Thomas Müller: „Thomas Müller is a figurehead and identification figure for the fans. I don’t think he fits into Ralf Rangnick’s system.“

Müller threatens to lose further influence

Müller has recently lost more and more of his influence under Thomas Tuchel. The former regular and key player has increasingly had to settle for a reserve role in the second half of the season. In the important Champions League clash against FC Arsenal, the 34-year-old sat on the bench for 90 minutes in both games and did not get any playing time at all. For a long time, such a scenario was unimaginable at the German record champions.
