7Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmedmed the Bundesliga leaders will name Jupp Heynckes' successor by the end of April, but former Borussia Dortmund head coach Thomas Tuchel is not in the running.
Heynckes stepped into the breach in October after Carlo Ancelotti had been sacked following loss to Paris Saint German.
"I'm working on the basis that we'll present our new coach by the end of April at the latest," he told Sky Sports.
"But there's no rush, we're quite relaxed. We've already hired coaches just a few days before the start of training. The credential is: we want a German-speaking coach. And that's how it'll be."
It will not be Tuchel, though, after Rummenigge revealed the former Dortmund coach has already agreed a deal with an unnamed club.
He added: "Our sporting director, Hasan Salihamidzic, has held talks with coaches -- that's his job -- and among them was Tuchel.
"Last Friday, Thomas Tuchel told us that he's signed with another club. One has to accept that, but it's not a problem for us."
