TUCHEL BEGINS NEW ROLE AS BAYERN MANAGER – Thomas Tuchel replaces Julian Nagelsman as Bayern Munich Manager
Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel began his new job as Bayern Munich coach, four days after the German champions parted ways with Julian Nagelsmann.
Bayern crashed out in the German Cup second round after a demolition by Borussia Moenchengladbach and were then eliminated from the Champions League in a quarter-final defeat to Spanish underdogs Villarreal last term.
Nagelsmann’s departure still came as a major surprise just as Bayern prepare to face leaders Borussia Dortmund next week in the Bundesliga and Manchester City in this season’s Champions League quarter-finals on April 11.
Nagelsmann’s successor Tuchel, who had been a long-time Bayern target since their first attempt to sign him in 2018, has penned a deal to 2025, Bayern said.
Tuchel won the Champions League for Chelsea in 2021 after replacing Frank Lampard, but has been without a job since being sacked by the English side last year
