Bayern Munich kicked the board.
In the middle of the season and even after taking Lionel Messi's Paris Saint-Germain out of the race in the Champions League round of 16, the all-powerful German club made official this Friday the break with its coach Julian Nagelsmann and his replacement by Thomas Tuchel with a contract until June 2025, before the final stretch of the 2022-2023 season.
Nagelsmann had arrived at Bayern in mid-2021 from RB Leipzig and had a contract until June 2026. On Thursday, several German media, including Bild and Kicker, had advanced the unexpected news of Bayern's divorce with their coach and were already pointing Tuchel as the likely successor.
Nagelsmann found out that he had been fired from Bayern Munich through the German press and while on skiing vacation in Austria with his girlfriend, as it came to light in recent hours.

The coach, who was skiing with his girlfriend in the Zillertal Valley, discovered in the press the news that he had lost his job after being fired from Bayern Munich, surprised because the team's results were good, according to the newspaper. German Bild.
That happened hours before the Bavarians made the news official.
Bayern Munich is second in the Bundesliga and has just eliminated Paris Saint Germain led by Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbbapé in the Champions League round of 16, but this was not enough for Nagelsman to continue and, according to the German press, his bad relationship with some referents on the campus led to his dismissal.
