Bayern Munich are in a bit of a coaching headache as they still have not found a replacement for the outgoing Thomas Tuchel. Ever since it was announced that Thomas Tuchel would depart the club at the end of the season, there were rumours linking Football legend and former Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane to the hot seat at Bayern Munich.  

The rumours stemmed from the fact that Bayern Munich shared a great relationship with Zinedine Zidane's entourage but these rumours took a back seat as former Manchester United manager and currently managing the Austrian National Football team, Ralf Ragnick looked set to take over Allianz Arena. As it turned out, Ragnick snubbed Bayern Munich due to personal reasons.  

With the season coming to an end, Bayern Munich are without a replacement for Thomas Tuchel and the Zinedine Zidane links resurfaced. And Zinedine Zidane has responded to those rumours.
