Yes, does nobody really want to go? After Ralf Rangnick, FC Bayern has already received the next rejection in its search for a coach, according to "Bild". Now a former Salzburg coach might be the one to fix it.

Roberto De Zerbi was considered the next preferred candidate after Rangnick's rejection. But the current Brighton coach doesn't really want to either. The Bavarians "can also do away with the Italian tactician", wrote the newspaper "Bild" on Saturday night. "I want to stay at Brighton. I love the city, the club, the fans," De Zerbi is quoted as saying by Sky Sports UK. He has "already told the fans at a meeting that I won't change clubs if I'm happy - I want to keep my passion".

Is Roger Schmidt coming?
So nothing again! Bayern receive one "unfortunately no" after another. Most recently in the "lottery": an ex-Salzburg coach. Yes, Roger Schmid is currently being mentioned as a possible candidate for the position of head coach in Munich. The 57-year-old has been at Benfica Lisbon for two years.

And initially quite successfully: Schmidt won the championship and the Super Cup in his first year and even made it to the Champions League quarter-finals. Currently, however, things are not going according to plan. City rivals Sporting, of all teams, lead the table ahead of rivals Benfica.

In 2014, Schmidt had won the championship and the cup with Salzburg. However, his era also saw the almost (negative) legendary elimination of the Bulls in the Champions League qualifiers against Dudelange.
