What a shocker: Nagelsmann sacked, Tuchel is the new Bayern coach!

Thursday night, Europe is busy with EURO 2024 qualifying games, but it’s boiling in Munchen. The Bundesliga champions have made a sudden and totally untypical move – they have sacked Julian Nagelsmann and appointed Thomas Tuchel, who agreed the terms on his two and a half deal. The Bavarians are not used to moves like this, unless the situation is highly flammable, like when Niko Kovač was fired after a series of bad result and Hansi Flick came in. But so far, Nagelsmann is perfect in the Champions League and is only one point away from Borussia, a team which will come to Munich when the international break is over. A win over Borussia would make Bayern the Bundesliga leader again, but obviously, Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidžic didn’t want to wait. They didn’t like the way their team is playing and behaving under the former Leipzig coach and maybe they didn’t want to leave Thomas Tuchel on the market for too long, but whatever the reason, this late news has shook German football.

Market specialist Fabrizio Romano, usually not the first when it comes to exclusive has hit the jackpot, as Bild, Kicker and other respectable newspapers were confirming the news later on. They all agree that Naglesmann is gone and Tuchel will be the next coach, they just have the different timing: he is already sacked according to one source or he will be sacked in the morning, according to others. Nagelsmann took over at Bayern in the summer of 2021 and has led them to 84 games so far. With the Munich club, he won one league title and two German Supercup trophies. And although he had the opportunity to attack the "triple" by the end of the current season, it will remain an unfulfilled dream for the 35-year-old specialist. Let's not forget that Bayern paid a record sum to Leipzig for Naglesmann's services - 20 million euros.
