A dramatic 1:5 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt was the last straw, which forced Bayern’s owners to finally do what seemed to be inevitable. They fired the infamous Niko Kovac. Such news immediately kickstarted the wave of rumours and speculations around who will take on the manager seat at the most-titled German football club. Of course, top online bookmakers could not stay aside and joined the trend.
According to the oddsmakers from
BetVictor, Jose Mourinho has the biggest chances of getting a job. However, it seems unlikely to happen, due to the fact that Bayern’s board would not like to hire someone they have no control over.
The second favourite on the BetVictor’s list is the current Ajax manager, Erik ten Hag, who’s already had experience with Bayern’s reserves. However, the Dutchman made it clear that he wants to stay in Amsterdam till the end of a season. Therefore, his option is rather out of the conversation.
A lot also hints Bayern’s interest in Massimiliano Allegri’s and Arsene Wenger’s services. Who will finally become the new Bavarian manager, and whether or not BetVictor was right will soon be revealed. Stay tuned for an update.
