The 2023/24 Bundesliga season concluded with VfL Bochum’s remarkable comeback against Fortuna Düsseldorf in the relegation playoff. Inspired by this, we at BFW decided to review a season that — to Bayern Munich fans’ displeasure -featured record-breaking moments, unimaginable Cinderella stories, and disappointing performances from star players and coaches.
In this flagship episode, hosted by Marcus Iredahl, we’ll delve into the top three ‘overachievers’ and ‘underachievers’ of the season. We’ll discuss the players, coaches, and teams who either exceeded expectations or fell short, hopefully sparking lively discussions in the comments section!
In this podcast episode, we’ll cover the following topics and more:
Is Thomas Tuchel the biggest underachiever of this season?
Should Bayern fans be worried about Christoph Freund’s abilities?
The incredible Cinderella story of FC Heidenheim – a dream for football romantics!
Marcus’ pick for ‘Player of the Season.’ Who would you choose?
Tune in for an insightful recap of an unforgettable Bundesliga season!

Bayern Munich’s offseason is underway and it looks like (again!) the club has made a decision on its coaching hire.
Vincent Kompany is likely going to be the man for the job, but the coaching position probably will not be the only experiencing change this summer. The Bavarians are going to be targeting several areas for improvement and — even aside of all of that — the future of many current players on the roster could be in jeopardy as well.
We will talk about all of that and more on this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Show. Let’s take a look at what we have on tap for this episode:
Vincent Kompany looks like he will ink a deal with Bayern Munich and Hansi Flick will do the same for FC Barcelona. Will both clubs be better off for it?
Max Eberl made the final call on Kompany...and stepped over Uli Hoeneß to make it happen. Was that a wise move? Either way, he is going to thrive or get fired on his own terms.
Could Joshua Kimmich — or any other Bavarians — take a look at joining Flick in Catalonia.
Throwing a little appreciation toward Bayer Leverkusen and their incredible season.

Bayern Munich’s season might be over, but its offseason is already in full swing.
The coaching search could be over, the roster overhaul could be starting, and fans can only sit and wait for everything to play out.
What do we do in the meantime? Let’s discuss it all!
This is what we have on tap for the episode of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:
Bayern Munich seems very close to hiring Vincent Kompany (where have we heard that before? Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, Hansi Flick, Thomas Tuchel Roberto De Zerbi...) and why this time, fans should take it very seriously without feeling like Charlie Brown trying to kick that damn football.
The positives of hiring Kompany — his playing experience, his ability to relate to players, his style preferences match Bayern Munich’s ideals.
The negatives — no competitive big game experience, has never coached in major competitions for a high profile club, his locker room command might not jibe with the egos and personalities in Munich, and he just got RELEGATED. All that, plus Bayern Munich cannot afford to miss...again...on this hire.
What’s the Weekend Warm-up’s verdict? Well, this might be a little risky.
Aside of that, Chris Führich and Theo Hernandez could be on their way to Bavaria, while Jamal Musiala could be on his way out in 2025.

In about a week, Bayern Munich have become the laughing stock of the football world. Going all-in on trying to keep Thomas Tuchel for another year only to be rejected, and then finishing third in the Bundesliga after a devastating defeat to Hoffenheim — it’s the lowest point this club has seen in well over a decade.
Since Tuchel is now gone, it’s time to start blaming the people actually responsible for this circus. The board needs to answer for what is happening at this club.
In this episode, INNN and Samrin discuss the following:
This is how the banter era starts.
Tangent: Is Manuel Neuer finished? Probably not.
How a lack of leadership at the top level has led to this current situation.
Why people should have seen this coming.
How this current coaching circus makes it even harder to find a new coach.
What trying to keep Thomas Tuchel at the last minute says about the board.
Why doesn’t Bayern Munich want to bring back Hansi Flick?
Discussing the pros and cons of a potential Flick return.
Some other final candidates, like Erik ten Hag (ew), Allegri (eww), and Mourinho (ewww).

Bayern Munich closed out its season with a disappointing 4-2 loss in Sinsheim to a very solid Hoffenheim squad.
While the game started out great for Bayern Munich, the Bavarians eventually lost some steam and were overtaken by the home side. It was a sad ending to a hapless (and trophyless) season. Let’s get down to it and see what we have on tap for this episode of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Postgame Show:
A look at the starting lineup and why it was weird (and probably unnecessary, too).
How the game played, including the feeling we all had when Bayern Munich blazed its way out to a 2-0 lead in the first six minutes of the match.
The sinking feeling of watching the team lose its steam in the second half.
Some thoughts on why it was just time for Thomas Tuchel to leave.
Addressing the uncertainty of what’s next.

Wait, Thomas Tuchel is coming back? It sure looks like it.

Bayern Munich will close out its season with an away trip to Sinsheim to face off with a very up-and-down Hoffenheim squad.
For the Bavarians, the match will conclude an extremely odd season which saw a little bit of hope spattered in with a lot of frustration. All that said, the season is coming to a conclusion, Bayern Munich is trophyless, and the club will undergo more changes this summer.
Here is what we have on tap for this last episode of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show for this Bundesliga season:
A look at the recent league form of both clubs.
Updates on injured Bayern Munich players.
A guess at Thomas Tuchel’s potential starting XI.

Bayern Munich’s coaching search is STILL grinding forward without a solution and the list of candidates who have rejected the club or who the club has turned away from seems to be growing by the day.
At this stage, the club is grasping at straws, so there is lot to discuss on that topic alone. Let’s get it to it, this is what we have on tap for this episode of the Bavarians Podcast Works Show:
Final thoughts on Bayern Munich vs. Wolfsburg.
Bayern Munich might not be hiring Hansi Flick afterall.
Oliver Glasner rejected Bayern Munich, too? Not totally, Crystal Palace put the kibosh on it.
Max Eberl seems to desperately want Roberto De Zerbi.
Bayern Munich could sell off five to seven players this summer, but who? Let’s take a look at who could be a candidate to leave the club in a purge this summer.

So Bayern Munich have taken another important step to securing second place by beating VfL Wolfsburg 2-0. No Harry Kane on the pitch so no fireworks, but the game did start in a promising manner when Lovro Zvonarek and Leon Goretzka put the Bavarians up 2-0 inside 15 minutes. In the end though, it was just a workmanlike 2-0 with very little in the way of thrills, intensity, or excitement, a characteristic feature of Thomas Tuchel’s reign.
Here are our talking points from the game:
Reviewing the lineup and the start of the game.
How Bayern Munich lost the tempo.
“Saving energy” is not a strategy that has ever worked.
Why Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich team cannot find a higher gear.
A short recap of standout individual performances — Thomas Müller, Bryan Zaragoza, Lovro Zvonarek, and Leon Goretzka.

With Bayern Munich’s season essentially over, it is now time for the club to start tying up loose ends for the season — namely hiring a head coach and figuring out what the roster might look like next season.
Clearly, the action is just about to start instead of drawing to a close for the season. Let’s take a look at what subjects we dive into for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:
Hansi Flick looks like he is frontrunner for the Bayern Munich job — can he recapture the magic he once had in Bavaria?
Has Thomas Tuchel permanently damaged the relationships with any players? If so, would Flick be able to salvage them?
Will it be the end of an era for some players? If so, how would you remember it?
What is Tuchel’s legacy with the club?
Where do things stand with Alphonso Davies after his hero turn against Real Madrid?
Should Bayern Munich blow it all up and start over with a few select returnees?

Bayern Munich has been left reeling after its dramatic (and frustrating) Champions League elimination at the hands of Real Madrid.

Can Bayern Munich get the job done? Let’s discuss on the Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show:
A look at the recent league form of both clubs.
Updates on injured Bayern Munich players.
Will Bayern Munich punt on the final two weeks?

Bayern Munich traveled to Spain with a lot of hope, but played like it was hopeless for much of the match.
After Bayern Munich had taken a 1-0 lead, the squad collapsed in the worst possible way.
It was heartbreaking, dramatic, and altogether shocking. Bayern Munich eventually lost 2-1 (4-3 on aggregate), so let’s just get to it (and maybe put on “Taps” in the background):
A look at Thomas Tuchel’s starting XI and how the changes impacted the team’s performance.
A rundown of the scoring and substitutions, including yet another injury for Serge Gnabry.
Bayern Munich stunningly poor play eventually caught up to it.
Alphonso Davies made his way from “zero to hero” — at least temporarily.

With the tie knotted at 2-2, every second of this match will be hotly contested. Both squads...and both fan bases will be seeking to leave nothing to chance. Real Madrid will hold the mystique in Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, but Bayern Munich will have the drive and desire of needing to salvage what has been a lost season. Can they do it?
Let’s find out. This is what we have on tap for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show:

Bayern Munich is coming off a loss to VfB Stuttgart, preparing to leave for Spain to face Real Madrid in the Champions League, dealing with multiple key injuries, assessing its roster for the offseason, and, oh yeah, looking for a new head coach to replace Thomas Tuchel.
That was a mouthful, but also means there is plenty to talk about on this week’s edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Show. Let’s take a look at what we have on tap for this episode:
Peeking at those rumors indicating that Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola could consider a return to Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich traveled to VfB Stuttgart for a Bundesliga match, which was the focus for the weekend, but with a date with Real Madrid in the Champions League on the horizon, things were always going to be dicey for the German Rekordmeister.
Head coach Thomas Tuchel had injuries to account for, worries about wear-and-tear on key players, and just overall how to best keep his team fit for Wednesday’s UCL showdown.
As expected, it was not easy and VfB Stuttgart would come away with a somewhat unlikely 3-1 victory over the Bavarians. There is plenty to discuss, so let’s get down to it on this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Postgame Show:
A look at Thomas Tuchel’s starting XI.
A rundown of the scoring and substitutions.
If this was an audition for Chris Führich, he did well for himself
Eric Dier’s toughness has helped adjust the mentality of this squad.
The fall of Alphonso Davies has been drastic — and we took a blowtorch to him. Listen in, you won’t want to miss it.

Yeah, so there is a little bit to talk about with Bayern Munich this week.
I don’t even know we would waste any time with an intro when there is a three-ring circus going on with Bayern Munich’s coaching search, so let’s get right down to business. Here is what we have on tap on for the latest edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:
Ralf Rangnick has formally rejected a move to Bayern Munich in favor of keeping his life simple. You can’t fault him for that, but now what?
After the rejections from Rangnick, Xabi Alonso, and Julian Nagelsmann have all said “No” to Bayern Munich, is Hansi Flick the “break glass in case of emergency option.”
Sebastian Hoeneß has already stiff-armed speculation that he would be a fit, but could it happen?
Jonathan Tah to Bayern...eh, I don’t know about this one.
What to watch for in the next round of Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid in the Champions League.

After the enthralling Champions League battle vs. Real Madrid, Bayern Munich must now rebound to face a very good VfB Stuttgart side in the Bundesliga.
The Bavarians will want to remain hot with their play and — ironically — it will be one of their own players, Alexander Nübel, trying to stand in the way of Bayern Munich’s efforts to maintain momentum.
Will Nübel pull a Josip Stanišić? Hopefully not. Here is what we have on tap for episode of the Bavarians Podcast Works — Preview Show:

It’s finally here...Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid in the Champions League.
A historic matchup between two mega-powers should have both fan bases completely worked up and frothing at the mouth. Okay, so maybe not frothing, but incredibly excited (or even anxious for some) nonetheless.
In this match, there is a copious amount of both star power and intrigue between the two historic clubs. Let’s just get down to business...here is what we have on tap for this episode of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show:

Bayern Munich are about to face Real Madrid in their first Champions League semi-final since 2020. However, that’s not what everyone is talking about. Uli Hoeneß made some inflammatory comments about Thomas Tuchel in the German media and the coach decided to respond in kind. This sort of row is nothing new at the club, but the timing does threaten to derail the club’s most promising CL campaign in years. Is the toxicity at FC Hollywood going too far?
In this episode, INNN and Samrin discuss the following:
Why did Uli Hoeneß say what he did?
How this stunt will be seen by coaches and clubs across Europe.
Uli being Uli — is it time for him to change?
Why Bayern Munich seem to be having such a hard time finding a new coach.
Misgivings about hiring Ralf Rangnick.
How the controversy and the coaching situation could affect the Real Madrid game.
How will Thomas Tuchel choose to tackle Madrid? What are his options?
