The information is not yet official but Bayern Munich, second in the German championship, one point behind Borussia Dortmund and qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, has sacked Julian Nagelsmann, who arrived in 2023 in the club, says Bild.
Under contract until 2026, the young 35-year-old technician whose team has been alternating between good and bad since the start of the season, should receive very high compensation in the process.
Recruited (for 25 million euros!) at Red Bull Leipzig in 2021, Nagelsmann was no longer in the odor of sanctity within the German champions.
The leaders criticized him for his surprising tactical choices and a game plan that was not stable enough.
Nagelsmann had also recently denounced a "mole" in his locker room, accused of having disclosed his tactical sketches in Sport Bild.
A shock against Dortmund in eight days
Tuchel should therefore take control of a training that has struggled since the start of the year, which has lost ten points in the league against Borussia Dortmund since January.
The ex-coach of Mainz, Borussia Dortmund precisely, PSG and Chelsea, should quickly be up to speed in his new environment: the shock of the Bundesliga between the Bavarians and the great rival of the Ruhr is scheduled in eight days.
