According to 'TuttoMercato', the former RB Leipzig coach is the big favourite to take the place of Niko Kovac. Bayern consider him the most assured option... at least until the end of the season.
Rangnick is currently head of RB Leipzig's International Relations and Movement scout, a team who are in third position in the table, and the Bayern board consider him a good option due to his knowledge of the Bundesliga.
In fact, this would be the reason why Munich prefer to bet on him rather than throw themselves at renowned coaches such as Mourinho or Allegri. They consider thatm at this time in the season, the ideal thing would be to sign a coach who knows the competition.
According to Uli Hoeness, the signing or a new coach could be take up to three weeks, so the club has given itself time to really think about their choice.
