Bundesliga Managers United in Backing Bayern Munich to Secure Another Title

Key Takeaways:

• Bayern Munich have been unanimously tipped by Bundesliga coaches to retain their league title this season
• The Bavarian side are set to open their campaign on Friday against RB Leipzig
• Bayern reclaimed the championship by 13 point margin last season after Bayer Leverkusen’s triumph in 2024

Coaching Consensus Ahead of Bundesliga Kick-Off

As the Bundesliga prepares for a new season starting on Friday, the majority of coaches across the division are convinced that Bayern Munich will once again capture the German championship. This consensus among the coaching ranks firmly establishes Bayern as the prime contenders to lift the trophy at the end of the campaign.

Bayern’s Status as Favourites

Bayern Munich, who have dominated the Bundesliga landscape by winning every title since 2013 except in 2024, are considered by their peers to possess unrivalled squad quality. Horst Steffen, Werder Bremen’s newly appointed head coach, encapsulated the prevailing sentiment: the Munich outfit “simply have the best team.” This vote of confidence echoes across the league, as other coaches now believe Bayern’s superiority is unequivocal heading into the season.

Recent Championship Record and Rivals’ Prospects

Although some managers last year thought Bayer Leverkusen could replicate their 2024 title victory, Bayern surged back to reclaim the league by a commanding 13-point margin. The managers now believe there is little chance of Bayern being toppled this term. Frank Schmidt of Heidenheim commented, “The gap in points was already very large last season. That’s why I don’t believe the other teams can close the gap to Bayern.” Freiburg boss Julian Schuster suggested the competition may be tighter, but asserted that “Bayern will once again be on top in the end.”
