Shockingly eliminated from the DFB Pokal

Kane was a striker representing Tottenham. Kane, who joined Tottenham's youth academy in 2004, played for Tottenham for 19 years until 2023. He has been the starting striker since the 2014/15 season, has been the top scorer in the EPL three times, and ranks second in the EPL for most goals (213 goals), following Alan Shearer (260 goals). Kane, who scored 280 goals for Tottenham alone, became the club's all-time leading scorer.
Kane, who was a symbol of Tottenham, moved to Bayern Munich in the transfer market last summer. The decisive reason why Kane chose to go to Munich was because of his desire for a trophy. Kane has not won a single trophy since the start of his professional career.
Bayern Munich seemed like a club that could realize Kane's ambitions. Munich was a club that achieved 11 consecutive Bundesliga wins from the 2012/13 season to last season. They also won the UEFA Champions League six times. Munich could easily be called the most prestigious club in Europe, beyond Germany.
oining Munich. As Bayern Munich approaches the Super Cup against RB Leipzig, attention is focused on whether Kane will win the championship. However, Kane's hope was dashed as Munich was defeated 0-3 by Leipzig.
Up to this point, it wasn't a big problem as the German Bundesliga, UEFA Champions League, and DFB Pokal remained. There were three competitions remaining, but they have now been reduced to two. Munich lost 1-2 in the DFB Pokal against Saarbrücken held at the Ludwig Stadion in Saarbrücken, Germany on the 2nd. Munich's defeat was shocking because Saarbrücken was a third division club. Kane missed this game.
Of course, there is a possibility that Munich will win both the Bundesliga and the Champions League. Currently, Munich is in second place in the league after Bayer Leverkusen with 7 wins and 2 draws (23 points) in 9 games. In the Champions League group stage, they also achieved three consecutive wins and are firmly maintaining first place in Group A.
Kane's hopes of winning the title are not over yet, but both the Bundesliga and the Champions League don't seem easy. Leverkusen has emerged as a strong opponent to Munich, going undefeated in 13 official games this season under Alonso. If you advance to the Champions League tournament, you can meet clubs with great power, such as Manchester City and Real Madrid. Kane's first championship challenge is getting tougher.
Candidate selection has now begun… What is a realistic possibility?

First of all, organizing was the first step. Now, the full-fledged search for candidates for a new director begins. Are there not a wide range of realistic options? The club believes that this is not the case.
SSG Landers is currently selecting a candidate for the next head coach. SSG, which completed its postseason schedule on the 25th of last month, announced the termination of its contract with coach Won-Hyung Kim on October 31. The following day, on November 1, the list of coaches leaving the team, including coaches subject to notice of non-renewal of contracts, was announced, and on November 2, the appointment of manager Son Si-heon as the next second-team manager was announced. The exciting Stove League has come to an end.
The priority is to find a new coach right away. SSG is selecting a candidate for the next head coach under the leadership of General Manager Kim Seong-yong. There are several candidates we are reviewing internally. First of all, Choo Shin-soo, Park Chan-ho, and foreign directors, who were spread around online communities immediately after the dismissal of coach Kim Won-hyung, are not candidates. Choo Shin-soo is considering whether to extend his active duty, and currently has little contact with 'The Korean Express' commentator Park Chan-ho.
There were rumors that only Trey Hill, who won the Korean Series in 2018, would return, or that a new foreign coach would be brought in in line with the direction the Landers were pursuing, but the club denied all of these. A foreign manager is a card that does not easily fit into the current composition. The process of appointing an additional coach could become complicated, and there is no one that stands out right away. This is also the reason why foreign coaches have not achieved great success in the KBO League recently.
The SSG team reported the current situation on the 2nd, saying, “We are now in the stage of reviewing several candidates.” We are conducting a survey on suitable people for front office staff, especially at the team leader level, and looking into internal opinions first. People who are relatively young but have some experience will be the final candidates. General manager Kim Seong-yong said in a phone call with Sports Chosun, "I can't tell you exactly yet, but we are looking at it from various angles. However, we plan to conduct interviews with the final candidates."
Since most clubs have completed appointing coaching staff for the next season and have already begun planning for the new season, such as finishing camps, some believe that this decision may be a bit late.
However, SSG believes that it is not too late. General Manager Kim Seong-yong emphasized, “Of course, it would be nice if it could be completed quickly, but that does not mean we should rush to appoint a manager. Even if it takes time, selecting the best person is the priority.” The final selection of the director and contract may take longer than expected.
However, since coach Won-hyung Kim was fired after one season after renewing his contract, there is a prerequisite that the next head coach must be someone with a completely different view of baseball and coaching style. If a person with a similar style to the former manager is appointed, the team may start off with a question mark over its differentiation, asking, ‘What has changed?’ At the same time, SSG is simultaneously discussing urgent issues such as foreign player renewals, free agent contracts, and veteran players' futures. The overall outline is expected to be revealed gradually.
