Bayern Munich finds themselves at a crossroads after their Champions League exit against Real Madrid.
The loss has triggered a period of introspection for the German powerhouse as they face an uncertain future.
With just a year left before hosting the Champions League final at the Allianz Arena, Bayern is set for a summer of rebuilding, starting with the search for a new head coach.
Having been dethroned as German champions by Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern’s European campaign provided a glimmer of hope in an otherwise challenging season.
The departure of manager Thomas Tuchel earlier in the year added to the upheaval, with several coaching candidates turning down offers to replace him.
Despite coming close to reaching the Champions League final, Bayern’s unexpected elimination has left them trophyless for the season, a rare occurrence for the club.
With Borussia Dortmund in the final and Leverkusen chasing a treble, Bayern faces tough competition domestically and in Europe, forcing them to reassess their strategies for the future.
