The Trivela Effect site commented on 5 stars who could stay at Allianz Arena next season if Hansi Flick returns.

After a disappointing season, it is likely that Thomas Tuchel will step down at the end of the season after a short and tumultuous tenure at the club. While Xabi Alonso has committed his future to staying at Bayer Leverkusen, the head coach position at Bayern Munich is making candidates hesitate. Therefore, Hansi Flick’s return is a possibility.

The famous German coach won the treble in the 2019/20 season, dominating European football with a strong and beautiful attacking style of play, so the players will be ready to welcome Flick if he returns. Below are  5 players who can continue to stick with the Bavarian Gray Tigers when Hansi Flick takes over as head coach.

Striker Thomas Muller

Thomas Muller is one of the legends of the Bayern Munich club and is an excellent goalscorer every time he is given the opportunity to play. However, under Thomas Tuchel, he failed to show his inherent abilities. 

Previously, under the guidance of Hansi Flick, Muller played a key role with 8 goals and 21 assists in the Bundesliga, giving Robert Lewandowski unmissable opportunities in the 2019/20 season.

Obviously, at the age of 34, Muller still has a place in Bayern’s squad as he is still a quality player with 5 goals and 8 conversions in the national championship despite not being a regular starter.

Thomas Muller is still playing very well at the age of 34.

Central midfielder Joshua Kimmich

Perhaps no one has benefited from Hansi Flick’s return to manage Bayern Munich more than world-class midfielder Joshua Kimmich, who has been a target of criticism since his departure.

Kimmich has had to play as a right-back and is even contemplating a move to Barcelona under Thomas Tuchel.

In the 2019/20 season, under Flick’s guidance, Kimmich had 4 goals and 7 assists along with 2.3 key passes per game and an average of 2.5 tackles and interceptions per game. Not only that, Kimmich is ready to play in any position at Flick’s request, from right-back to the center of midfield.

Striker Serge Gnabry

Serge Gnabry is a “monster” in the Champions League and also played quite effectively in the Bundesliga with 12 goals and 10 assists in the 2019/20 season.

It may be that injuries are the main reason hindering Gnabry’s development under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel but there is something special about watching him play in big matches under Flick as the 1965-born coach seems to know How to inspire the former Arsenal player to play more explosively every time he is criticized by Munich fans and the German media.

Left back Kingsley Coman

Kingsley Coman is expected to leave Bayern Munich due to criticism of his inconsistent performance during the season, along with the persistent injuries he has suffered. 

However, similar to Gnabry, Coman’s position under the guidance of Hansi Flick is irreplaceable, no matter how fierce the competition on the left wing of the Bavarian giant is.

Coman was once one of the best left-backs in the world.

Central midfielder Leon Goretzka

Leon Goretzka is another big name in the Bayern Munich squad who may have to leave after a disappointing season. However, the German midfielder is truly a “monster” in the middle of the field in Hansi Flick’s scheme with an extremely impressive ability to compete and win back the ball.

In fact, Goretzka is not a complete player, but he still has the talents to suit Flick’s tactics.
