In the last two years alone, Manager Zach Roberts of FC Bayern has taken an already powerful giant and turned them into the biggest powerhouse in years. One Goal still eludes Roberts, The Treble. The Treble being capturing all 3 major trophies, the Bundesliga Title, the Deutscher Pokal, and the Champions League Title. Roberts has announced as of yesterday, Friday August 5th, 2016 that he will be retiring upon season's end. We take a chance today to look at Bayern Munich's chances this season by first looking at the past two seasons under Roberts' reign.

In year 1, Roberts led Bayern Munich to a 40-5-7 Record in 52 games across the Domestic League, Cup, and International Competition. This record was good enough to earn Roberts his first Manager of the Year award. Bayern Munich clinched the Bundesliga on the last match of the season to earn them yet another Bundesliga title. Bayern also triumphed over Hertha Berlin to win the Deutscher Pokal. Roberts led Bayern all the way to the Champions League title match, falling to Barcelona and Lionel Messi 5-3. Robert Lewandowski was the Ballon D'Or winner with an Amazing 53 Goals and 36 assists. Manuel Neuer took home the Bundesliga Player of the Year.

In Year 2, Roberts looked to improve on one of the best seasons in FC Bayern History trying to win the elusive Treble. In 48 Games Bayern finished with a 40-4-4 record, However this year the tournaments would prove to be more troublesome. FC Bayern fell in the Quarterfinals of the Champions League to underdog Valencia CF. Disaster Struck again when Bayern fell in a uncharacteristic Blowout loss to Borussia Dortmund in a 6-2 loss in the Deutscher Pokal SemiFinal. Bayern however was as dominant as ever in the Bundesliga only losing two games all season. Lewandowski was the Bundesliga Player of the year with 50 Goals and 19 Assists, while Manuel Neuer had a rough season in front of Net. Newcomers Falcao, Mesut Ozil, Marco Reus, and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang all proved their worth. While Departures such as Thomas Müller were filled admirably

Now in Year 3, Roberts is looking for the Treble as a way to say Farewell to Bayern and the his Management Career. Several Newcomers and Departures from last years team should make this team much different, and hopefully more of a threat this time around. We take a look at this years key Newcomers and Departures:

Arturo Vidal, Juventus
Douglas Costa, FC Schaktar

Departures:
Mesut Ozil, Real Madrid
