Another Bayern Munich blow! Julian Nagelsmann makes Germany contract decision amid chance to manage Harry Kane in Bavaria

Last March, he was unceremoniously sacked by Bayern Munich, paving the way for Thomas Tuchel to take over as his replacement at the Allianz Arena. And just over a year on the tables have turned, with the Bavarian giants back knocking at his door once again after an underwhelming campaign under the guidance of Tuchel.

According to Bild, Nagelsmann has made up his mind to continue with the German national team and sign an extension until 2026, which means that he would be drawing up their tactical blueprint for the World Cup that year. Under Nagelsmann's guidance, the German national team has shown promising signs of resurgence, hinting at a return to their former glory days. As preparations intensify for Euro 2024, Nagelsmann's decision to stay provides stability and continuity for the team, boosting morale and fostering optimism among players and fans alike.

Along with Bayern, Liverpool also eyed Nagelsmann as a potential successor to Jurgen Klopp, who will depart the club this summer. However, the Reds are believed to be in advanced talks with Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim and have reduced their interest in Nagelsmann.

With Nagelsmann no longer available, Bayern Munich face the challenge of finding a suitable successor to Tuchel. Several names have emerged as potential candidates, including Hans-Dieter Flick, who previously achieved success with the club by winning the treble in 2020. Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi, Ralf Rangnick and Sebastian Hoeness are among the other contenders, each bringing their own unique strengths and experiences to the table. Additionally, Jose Mourinho, known for his tactical acumen, has emerged as a dark horse for the coveted role since he remains a free agent after leaving Roma earlier this year.
