Also on Saturday, Hansi Flick did not give a clear rejection in the direction of the DFB, which is looking for a successor to national coach Joachim Löw.
The CHECK24 double pass with Friedhelm Funkel and Löw’s partner Harald Stenger Sunday from 11am on TV on SPORT1
As for the well-deserved away win at Werder Bremen (3-1), the successful 56-year-old FC Bayern coach only referred to his contract, which remains in effect until 2023.
Flick avoids a clear bet on FC Bayern
Already on Friday, Flick had not been forced to say “No, I will not be a national coach from the summer”, despite multiple applications. That has not escaped the Bayern bosses. His statements qualify more as a lack of a pro Bayern statement.
The result: the senses are heightened in the administration room and the club has to deal with a possible quick exit from now on.
However: those responsible are still calm because Flick has a contract without an exit clause. Also, he is behind SPORT1-No information has yet been sent to Bayern. The director of the national team, Oliver Bierhoff, has not yet appeared in the Munich team. That could change soon, because the DFB would like to present Löw’s successor to the MS in the summer.
Bierhoff is planning Löw’s successor
SPORT1 learned: Bierhoff wants to take his time looking for a coach and think of various national coach variants. He is planning a direct exchange with candidates and various Bundesliga coaches in the near future.
Flick is and continues to be the preferred candidate for the DFB national coach position. At Bayern they assume that he would like to take on this role if he is available.
But: Flick will only be available before 2023 if Bayern play along.
TO SPORT1-Information will only be given to Flick for the DFB, provided that Bayern again find a successor for the six-time coach. Assistant coach Miroslav Klose, who will complete his soccer coaching license in a few weeks, is not an option.
Nagelsmann an option as a film replacement
Julian Nagelsmann, on the other hand, does. However, like Flick, he has a contract with RB Leipzig until 2023. Bayern would have to pay a transfer fee for the 33-year-old native of Upper Bavaria, and Leipzig would also be forced to find a successor to Nagelsmann. In the next weeks. .
However, above all, Bayern want to try everything to keep Flick. But why is the position of national coach even interesting for him, even though he can compete for all the titles with the sixth winner every year?
He is close friends with Bierhoff and exchanges ideas with him on a regular basis. Flick knows the structures of the DFB inside and out, and was also involved in conceptualizing the DFB Academy.
In SPORT1When asked on Friday, Flick explained what three criteria are decisive for him to be happy as a coach at a club: “Trust and loyalty are a line. Quality has to be there, and we have enough of that at FC. Bayern “. And it has to be fun in the end. These things are there. “
That is the situation of Flick at Bayern
But is that the whole truth?
The issue of trust and loyalty: experience both. Above all, CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is vehemently engaged with him, most recently in the SPORT1-Interview.
Quality of the theme: With Thiago, an absolute tie player Flicks left the club. Two more, David Alaba (does not extend) and Jérôme Boateng (does not get a new contract), will also leave the club in the summer. Above all, Alaba’s departure gnaws at Flick, and aside from Leroy Sané, hardly any newcomers to the summer play a role. The squad has grown in width this season, but has lost some of its quality. Flick publicly wanted a veto right on transfers. You have not received it yet.
The fun issue: Flick himself admitted that he often had disagreements with sports director Hasan Salihamidzic. Especially in personnel matters. The fact that there are fissures between the two is accepted internally. The managers expect both of them to work together professionally.
On the other hand, Flick’s relationship with the team is completely intact. He is proud of his players and his “staff,” as he calls the assistant coaches and specialists around him, and of the six titles he has won.
Kuntz and Sorg as alternatives to DFB
Flick loves the day job as Bayern coach, but it also takes strength and energy, and Salihamidzic does not alleviate it by speaking publicly about fiery matters. On the other hand, the job of the national coach is much more relaxed. Taking the German national team to the European Championship at home in 2024 is an attractive project.

And what options does the DFB have if it doesn’t work for Flick in the summer?
A temporary solution is possible with Löw’s assistant Marcus Sorg or current U21 coach Stefan Kuntz. Until Flick’s contract in Munich expires in 2023.
He would then still have a year until the European Championship, and Nagelsmann would be available for a free transfer.
