Antonio Conte, the former manager of Chelsea and Tottenham, has been without a job since his dismissal from Tottenham last year. However, it seems like he may not be out of work for much longer as reports suggest that he is the "first name" on Bayern Munich's list of potential managers. This comes after it was announced that current Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel will be leaving the club at the end of the season.
Bayern Munich, one of the biggest and most successful clubs in Europe, is currently facing the possibility of finishing the season without any trophies for the first time in almost a decade. They were recently knocked out of the German Cup by a third-tier club and are trailing behind Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Despite still being in the running for the Champions League, they have a tough road ahead as they may have to face powerhouse teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid.
Xabi Alonso, a former Bayern midfielder and current manager of Leverkusen, was initially seen as the top candidate for the job. However, recent reports suggest that Conte has emerged as the early frontrunner for the position. The Spaniard has been doing a fantastic job at Leverkusen, with his team remaining unbeaten in all competitions this season.
Another one of Alonso's former clubs, Liverpool, is also interested in his services. However, it seems like he may stay at BayArena for another season. In the meantime, Conte may have the opportunity to reunite with two of his former players at Tottenham, Harry Kane and Eric Dier, if he lands the job at Bayern. Kane was one of the few players who performed well under Conte's leadership, scoring 43 goals and making 14 assists in just 75 appearances.
Although Conte's time at Tottenham ended on a sour note, he is still highly regarded as one of the most successful managers of his generation. He has won numerous titles with top clubs like Juventus, Inter Milan, and Chelsea. It is no surprise that Bayern Munich sees him as a priority appointment for their team.
Negotiations between Conte and Bayern have not been easy, but there is hope that a deal will be reached soon. If he does take over as the new manager, it will be interesting to see how he handles the high-profile players at Bayern and if he can replicate his past successes. Fans can't wait to see what the future holds for both Conte and Bayern Munich.
