BAYERN MUNICH’S move for Ralf Rangnick has reportedly collapsed.
The former Manchester United interim gaffer was reportedly leading the charge to replace Thomas Tuchel this summer.

That led to supporters launching a petition urging chiefs to stick with Tuchel, insisting he is head and shoulders above Rangnick.
Now they have got one of their wishes after a BILD claimed that the coach has snubbed Bayern.
And journalist Christian Falk says that the 65-year-old will stay in charge of the Austrian national team instead.
It is the latest blow to Bayern after suffering a number of setbacks in their search for Tuchel’s successor.
They first tried poaching Xabi Alonso from rivals and new Bundesliga winners Bayer Leverkusen.
However, after also receiving an approach from Liverpool, the Spaniard declared his intention to stay put for at least one more year.
Bayern then had a move for Julian Nagelsmann fall through when their ex-boss extended his deal with the German national team.
Then, when fellow target Unai Emery also penned a new contract at Aston Villa, Bayern opened talks with Austria boss Rangnick.
