Bayern Munich have confirmed the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as their new head coach after the release of Julian Nagelsmann.
The club’s bosses made the surprise decision to part ways with Nagelsmann after Bayern had fallen into second place on the Bundesliga log.
Nagelsmann was still in contention to win three trophies and had joined Bayern in 2021 after they bought him out of his RB Leipzig contract, handing him a five-year deal.
However, there is talk that Nagelsmann had lost the trust of parts of the dressing room and the club’s leadership despite still being in line to win a treble.
On Friday, Bayern confirmed that 2021 FIFA The Best Men’s Coach, Tuchel will take over at the club and lead his first training on Monday.
“FC Bayern München has released head coach Julian Nagelsmann,” the club stated.
“This decision was taken by CEO Oliver Kahn and board member for sport Hasan Salihamidžić in consultation with club president Herbert Hainer. Nagelsmann will be succeeded by Thomas Tuchel.
“Tuchel will receive a contract until 30 June 2025 and will supervise squad training for the first time on Monday.
“Along with Nagelsmann, assistant coaches Dino Toppmöller, Benjamin Glück and Xaver Zembrod have also been released.”
Do you think Bayern made the right decision?
