Her announcement is a matter of hours Julian Nagelsmann’s dismissal from Bayern and his replacement by Thomas Tuchel. The Bavarians’ decision to make a coaching change at this point in the season surprised many and Bild sheds light on the reasons behind it.
As mentioned, it has been around for a long time grumbling about the team’s image in the Bundesliga and the defeat by Leverkusen (2-1) on Sunday was the final straw. Bayern’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic was furious with the team’s display and failure to win a fifth league match in 2023, while neither eight wins from as many Champions League matches nor qualification over Paris Saint-Germain was enough for to change the climate.
With Bayern now second and -1 behind Dortmund, who they host next Saturday, the management decided to… finish Nagelsmann, which caught the coach himself out of nowhere, who was skiing when he was informed of the development. The Bavarians decided that the interruption of the league, before the derby with Dortmund and the matches with Manchester City in the Champions League, offered the right timing for a change of coach.
An additional reason why the divorce with Nagelsmann was immediately decided is – according to Bild –Bayern’s concern that Thomas Tuchel will not be available in the coming months. The name of the German coach has been “played” by Paris and Real, up to Tottenham and for this reason contact was immediately made to close the deal. After all, Bayern had Tuchel in their sights in 2018 as well, but then their obstruction had given Paris the opportunity to sign him.
