Bayern Munich is reportedly eyeing former Chelsea and Tottenham manager Antonio Conte as a potential replacement for departing coach Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season.
Rumors indicate that Bayern’s interest in Conte surpasses that of other candidates like Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso, making him a top priority for the club’s managerial position.
Conte has been without a job since his dismissal from Tottenham nearly a year ago, following a challenging 17-month tenure in North London. Despite this setback, the 54-year-old Italian boasts an impressive managerial record, having secured four Serie A titles with Juventus and Inter Milan, as well as a Premier League title with Chelsea in 2017.

Bayern Munich has endured a disappointing season, facing the prospect of finishing without a trophy for the first time since 2012. The club’s early exit from the German Cup at the hands of a third-tier team, coupled with a significant gap behind Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga standings, underscores their struggles.
While Bayern still has a chance in the Champions League, facing formidable opponents in the knockout stages, they are reportedly turning their attention to Conte. The Italian manager is expected to bring his winning pedigree and vast experience to rejuvenate Bayern’s campaign.
Initial speculation pointed towards Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen’s coach and former Bayern midfielder, as a potential candidate. However, the focus has now shifted to Conte, as Bayern aims to revitalize its fortunes under new leadership, according to reports from Italian outlet La Repubblica, cited by talkSPORT.
