The teacher! Why Wenger is the ideal coach for Bayern Munich

This is a new era for Bayern Munich. During the last ten years, the club has gone through difficult times but has always been able to save the situation and find greatness.

On each of these occasions, the solution was the same: call Jupp Heynckes. The legendary coach was the man to whom the Bayern chiefs resorted in times of crisis, sending him back into the dugout every time the team was underperforming.

After winning the treble in 2012-13, Heynckes retired to be replaced by Pep Guardiola in Munich. It was his third pbad to the club, but last season, managing director Uli Hoeness recalled him to convince him to suspend his retirement to save the club after a disastrous campaign start for 2017-18 under the Carlo Ancelotti's orders.

Bayern wanted Heynckes to stay for a year, but he refused. The 73-year-old Thomas Tuchel was replaced at the Allianz Arena, but the former Borussia Dortmund leader was upset by the money offered at Paris Saint-Germain, which left Bayern looking for a successor.

Former Bayern midfielder Niko Kovac was chosen to take the reins of the match after an impressive period at the head of Eintracht Frankfurt, which resulted in a thrilling victory in the DFB-Pokal final on Sunday. Bavarians.

The Croatian began his life brilliantly in Munich, but the results quickly began to go against it, putting the 47-year-old under immense pressure after only a few months.

Tuesday's 5-1 win over Benfica gave him some respite, but despite repeated support from Kovac, Hoeness still thinks about wielding the ax.

The draw 3-3 last weekend with Fortuna Dusseldorf did not sit well with Bayern's leader. With two goals from the relegation favorites 15 minutes from the end, Bayern once again surrendered, failing to win a home victory for the fourth consecutive league match.

"What happened today is unacceptable," he said. "We are going to use the next few days to find out why we play football as bad and uninspired, which is what haunts us right now."

Bayern – and Arjen Robben, in particular – looked more like their old self against Benfica, but the impression is that Kovac has only two crazy results far from the bag.

If he's fired, Hoeness can not appeal to Heynckes this time. His former savior has no plans to leave his retirement. Fortunately for Hoeness, there is another veteran manager who would be perfect for the job.

Arsene Wenger meets Bayern Munich's expectations for the recruitment and maintenance of the ship. Kovac does not have the experience required to deserve the respect of some Bayern stars. James Rodriguez told him "We are not in Frankfurt here" after a bad performance in October.

Wenger, a three-time Premier League winner, would have no such problem with Rodriguez, Robben, Franck Ribery, Thomas Muller and other key players in Bayern's locker room. At 69, he knows how to manage his ego and his hands-on approach would ensure that all players feel valued and respected, even if they are not regular starters.

Since Guardiola, Bayern has adopted a possession-based attack approach, which Wenger has used wisely at Arsenal using a variety of formations and styles.

Bayern are currently operating a 4-2-3-1 system, which is familiar to the Frenchman and could allow James to play the No. 10 Mesut Ozil he wants, pushing Muller and Serge Gnabry on the flanks. , while Total Football-like freedom to operate across the front line in support of Robert Lewandowski.

Zinedine Zidane has also been linked and is available for free as Wenger. However, the former boss of the Real does not speak German, which is usually a necessity for Bayern, especially after the reign of Giovanni Trapattoni in the mid-90s, which is remembered most for his lectures unusual press than for the championship and cup titles won.

This month, Wenger insisted that he was not retired but had previously indicated that he would not take another position in the Premier League.

As a German, Bayern would be the next ideal job for the man previously known as "The Professor" and "The Professor". It may take a little update of the translation to fit his new job – especially because he wants it. prove himself victorious after the end of his remarkable reign at Arsenal.

As former Gunners winger Theo Walcott recently said, "I still think he has unfinished business and that he is missing a chapter."

This could very well be written at the Allianz Arena. Wenger would certainly take up the challenge of trying to correct the nine-point deficit of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the Bundesliga standings and take advantage of the opportunity to participate in the Champions League with a team capable of winning the tournament.

"I do not feel retired at all but I feel frustrated [a lack of] competition, "he recently said be in sports. "I'm basically a competitor and what I miss – honestly, there are a lot of things I do not miss at all, like everything about the game you have to deal with.

"But of course, the day, the competition, the success you can do together, the sharing of emotions, the sharing of competitions, the ups and downs with others, of course, I miss you because I 'm have spent my life in that. "

Bayern and Wenger would therefore be an ideal match, two mbadive names united by a desire to return to greatness.
