The wildest rumour: Streich as Bayern coach. In March 2018, as Germany searched for Bayern’s next coach, a bizarre rumour suddenly did the rounds: Christian Streich could become Bayern coach. Streich, who regularly spoke about his own youthful trips to the Olympic Stadium, answered it in his own way: every week someone else is linked with Munich, he said, and he would almost have been offended had his own name not appeared at some stage.
But, he added, there were enough people who could coach there; he was Freiburg’s coach, full stop.
