Despite a managerial merry-go-round this summer, the upcoming Bundesliga title race is expected to follow a very similar storyline.
With Hansi Flick having departed to manage the Germany national team after winning an incredible seven trophies in less than two full seasons in charge, Bayern Munich have turned to Julian Nagelsmann as they target a 10th consecutive title.
Hailed as one of the most exciting managerial talents in the game, the 34-year-old former RB Leipzig boss is priced at just 1/6 (1.17) with bet365 to earn the first silverware of his career by guiding the perennial champions to yet another title.
Borussia Dortmund are also under new management after the arrival of Marco Rose from Borussia Monchengladbach, as they aim to win their first Bundesliga trophy since 2012 under Jurgen Klopp.

bet365Boasting the prolific talents of Erling Haaland in a talented squad, they certainly look the team most likely to prevent the title from staying in Munich yet again although remain fairly lengthy 6/1 (7.00) outsiders.
With Nagelsmann having taken Dayot Upamecano with him to the Allianz Arena and fellow centre-back Ibrahima Konate having left for Liverpool, RB Leipzig may have their work cut out to improve on last season’s second-place finish.
Indeed, new manager Jesse Marsch is a 16/1 (17.0) long shot to extend the streak that saw him lift successive league titles with Red Bull Salzburg by claiming a maiden Bundesliga trophy.
Bayer Leverkusen finished in a disappointing sixth position in the league last campaign and are 50/1 (51.0) underdogs to win their first league title after appointing Swiss manager Gerardo Seoane in the summer.
While only the current champions have lifted the league trophy on more occasions than Borussia Monchengladbach, they remain a hefty 66/1 (67.00) bet to win the title for the first time since 1977 as they begin life under new manager Adi Hutter.
Former Bayern midfielder Mark van Bommel can be backed at 80/1 (81.0) to beat his old club to the title after joining Wolfsburg, who clinched a place in the Champions League last season under Oliver Glasner.
However, Glasner celebrated that achievement by decamping to Eintracht Frankfurt, who are on offer at 200/1 (201.0) to go from fifth to first under their new Austrian manager.
Seemingly one of the few teams to begin Germany’s top flight season under the same manager who finished the last campaign, Pal Dardai’s Hertha Berlin are not expected to pose much of a threat to the title chasers at 250/1 (251.0) odds.
