Jose Mourinho is learning German, eyes Bayern job

He worked in Portugal, England, Spain and Italy. Maybe Jose Mourinho will try himself in Germany. No less, no more, than on the bench of Bayern. At first reading, such a possibility seems strange and unfeasible, because the style of the ‘Special One’ and the ideas of the Bavarians do not match. Nor has the club from Munich had a head coach with similar characteristics in the recent past. But, when a proper journalist with a fantastic knowledge of Bayern Munich says something is happening, that has to be taken into account.

Muller calls out his teammates for 'lack of ba..s', Tuchel has some explaining to do

“I heard he’s learning German. He has flirted with the office in the past. He would be ready” said Christian Falk in the “Bild Sport” program on WELT TV and BILD.de.

As for Bayern, after a heavy loss to Bayer Leverkusen (3-0), everything remains the same, and Thomas Tuchel remains as a coach.

“Nothing changes. We knew beforehand that it would be a difficult game. We would have liked a different result. We are concentrating on the next games. I don't like to repeat myself about Tuchel's future, it remains as I just said” CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen told Bild after the game.

But even thou nothing changes, it doesn’t mean that it won’t change come May. With seven points ahead of the third-placed Stuttgart, Bayern is guaranteed the second place and no coaching change now could get them to the first place, unless Bayer starts to lose games. But Jose Mourinho is experienced enough to see that things are not all well in the Bayern camp and the whole Germany sees that performance-wise, the Bavarians are not as good as they should be under Tuchel. So, he is just sending signals to the club’s executives that he is available and willing. But realistically, it would be a bad match, and the Bavarians are better off sacking Tuchel and getting Hansi Flick again, or lure Xabi Alonso.
