Previously, Milan refused to invite the Spaniard due to protests from fans.
Bavaria was interested in the ex-coach of the Spanish national team and Real Madrid Julen Lopetegui immediately after refusal Ralf Rangnick.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Munich club have monitored the availability of the 57-year-old Spaniard, despite his absence from the shortlist of candidates to succeed Thomas Tuchel.
Let us remember that Milan previously considered the possibility of inviting Lopetegui, but abandoned this idea under pressure from fans. Julen has been out of work since the summer of 2023 after leaving Wolverhampton.
Bayern continues to actively search for a new head coach to replace Tuchel, who will leave the club at the end of the season. Munich are already in talks with several mentors, including Hans-Dieter Flick, Julian Nagelsmann and Roberto De Zerbi. Zinedine Zidane was called one of the favorites for the position. A new figure on this list is Benfica coach Roger Schmidt.
Ralf Rangnick recently turned down the opportunity to lead the Munich team. In addition, Jose Mourinho is counting on working in Munich.
Bayern lost the Bundesliga title to Bayern this season. However, Tuchel’s team made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they already played the first match (2:2) with Real Madrid against Ukrainian goalkeeper Andrey Lunin.
