"Bild": A. Wenger - the main candidate to take over the reins of the "Bayern" team

Finally, the paths of Munich's "Bayern" and Arsene Wenger could cross.

"Bild" journalist Christian Falk, who was the first to report on Niko Kovac's dismissal, announces that the 70-year-old Frenchman has become the favorite to take over as the coach of Bayern.

The Bavarians wanted to bring in Ralf Rangnick by the end of the season, but the coach himself told "Bild" sources that negotiations are not happening.

According to the journalist, former "Arsenal" manager is now the absolute favorite to take the coaching job. It is believed that Bayern will try to bring him in by the end of the season.

The ideal scenario for Bayern would be for Erik ten Hag to arrive at the club for a long-term project after the season.
