Problem for Eberl? Rangnick wants power at Bayern! | OneFootball

Ralf Rangnick is the new top candidate for the coaching position at FC Bayern. As several media reported on Tuesday, the Munich club is working flat out to sign the 65-year-old. However, as has now become known, there is a potential deal-breaker.

According to information from Sky and tz, talks between Bayern and Rangnick are gathering pace. Both sides can imagine working together from the summer. However, no agreement has yet been reached.

As the Salzburger Nachrichten reports, this is mainly due to Rangnick and his demands. According to the newspaper, the distribution of power at FCB could become a sticking point in the Rangnick case. According to the SN, the 65-year-old „wants to have the say in the sporting area“. Rangnick is pushing for the final say, especially when it comes to signing players. This would allow him to directly influence the work of sporting director Max Eberl and Christoph Freund.

Fittingly, RTL/ntv reported that Rangnick is demanding the power to make sporting decisions. Above all, the top management around President Herbert Hainer and CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen must stay out of sporting matters in this case.

Flick and Salihamidzic as a negative example

Rangnick is known for the fact that in his previous coaching positions (including RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg and Hoffenheim) he has always emphasised that he is not only responsible for the sporting fortunes on the pitch.

If Bayern accept this demand, nothing stands in the way of Rangnick’s appointment, as reported by SN. In view of Munich’s recent past, it is difficult to imagine Bayern bosses giving a coach so much power. At Säbener Straße, the credo has always been: the club always decides on transfers.

Hansi Flick recently failed in his attempt to change Bayern’s transfer policy in this regard. The ongoing disputes between Flick and former sporting director and chief squad planner Hasan Salihamidzic ultimately led to the treble-winning coach voluntarily throwing in the towel in 2021.

Thomas Tuchel also clearly realised last summer that those in charge at the Isar do not plunder the fixed deposit account every time the coach makes a transfer request. Keyword: Holding Six.
