Thomas Tuchel has to go: The official announcement from FC Bayern in full
Jan-Christian Dreesen, CEO of FC Bayern:
“In an open, good conversation we came to the decision to mutually end our collaboration in the summer.
Our goal is to carry out a sporting realignment with a new coach for the 2024/25 season.
Until then, every individual in the club is expressly challenged to achieve the maximum possible in the Champions League and the Bundesliga.
I also explicitly hold the team responsible.
Especially in the Champions League, we are convinced that after the 0-1 defeat in the first leg at Lazio Rome, we will advance to the quarter-finals in the second leg in our fully occupied Allianz Arena with our fans behind us.”
Thomas Tuchel:
“We have agreed that we will end our collaboration after this season.
Until then, I and my coaching team will of course continue to do everything we can to ensure maximum success.”
“Thomas Tuchel succeeded Julian Nagelsmann as coach of FC Bayern in March 2023.
A good two months later he celebrated winning the German championship with the club.”
