Bayern Munich

Tuchel will look to turn Bayern into Champions League winners like he did with the Blues.

Bayern have struggled with injuries this season but with seven draws and three losses in league play, results haven't been good enough for Nagelsmann to hang on with a proven winner like Tuchel around. Nagelsmann will be replaced by former Chelsea manger Thomas Tuchel, per Romano, as Bayern want to improve their league standing while also aiming to compete for a Champions League title. Bayern are currently one point behind their rivals Borussia Dortmund and coincidently enough, Tuchel's first match will be against that same Dortmund side that he used to manage.

There were no indications of friction behind the scenes, nothing suggesting Nagelsmann was on his way out. Now he's gone. Thomas Tuchel is already in talks to ...

He saw the information on the media. Only the signature is still pending [— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) The question now is WHY. Thomas Tuchel is expected to be appointed as new Bayern coach before the game against Borussia Dortmund. Thomas Tuchel is already in talks to become the new Bayern coach, per kicker. [Bayern Munich](https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com) have sacked Julian Nagelsmann with immediate effect.

The former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is in line to take over at Bayern Munich after Julian Nagelsmann was sacked by the Bavarian giants.

The winner of that tie will face Real Madrid or Chelsea in the semi-final. His Chelsea side defeated Manchester City in the 2021 final and by coincidence Bayern now face Pep Guardiola’s team in the quarter-finals of this year’s competition.

The Rekordmeister signed Nagelsmann in 2021 from rivals RB Leipzig for what was a record transfer fee at the time for a coach understood to be in the region ...

For Tuchel, it is the second chance to take over the Rekordmeister. This time the deal appears to be done, but whether all sides will be happy with the decision remains to be seen. But it was not just the talent that struggled to make their marks. As reports grew that he might take on another club soon, Bayern might have just made an opportunistic decision to secure the right coach now rather than being without an alternative later this season. Good performances in the Champions League were followed by poor games in the Bundesliga. Neither has been given the time by Nagelsmann to show their talent. Nagelsmann, who is currently on a ski holiday in Austria, will be officially informed by the club on Friday, and at that point, a club statement can also be expected. The Leverkusen game, in fact, may have sealed a process that has been going on for some time. In the Champions League, the German giants won eight out of eight games, conceding just two goals and keeping a clean sheet against giants like Inter Milan, Barcelona, and PSG—the only team to score against Bayern was tiny Viktoria Plzen from the Czech Republic. Under Nagelsmann, Bayern has dominated every opponent, and the recent tie against PSG, in particular, was impressive. While Dayot Upamecano’s red card can excuse the defeat to Gladbach, the performance against Leverkusen, particularly, concerned the Bayern bosses. Most recently, the performances against Gladbach and Leverkusen come to mind.

Fabrizio Romano reports the team has fired its 35-year-old head coach and will replace him with former Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel.

He led BVB to the 2017 DFB-Pokal title. Since leaving Germany, Tuchel coached in France with Paris Saint-Germain, with whom he won two Ligue 1 titles, and in England with Chelsea, with whom he led to the 2021 Champions League title. Bayern currently sits second in the table, one point behind leaders BVB.

Bayern Munich might be about to change coaches for the final stretch of the season.

Fabrizio Romano claims there were backroom tensions at Bayern between Nagelsmann and the board. So it looks like the Bayern board made a split-second decision to change course.
